Remember RB Raheem Blackshear? He is have a great game for Carolina

That's wonderful for him. But that's the nature of the beast. Good teams don't have the room on their roster for Undrafted Pre-Season wonders in garbage time that bad teams like Carolina do. 

 

We only ever carry 3 true RB's. Were we supposed to cut Devin Singletary for him? No. Were we going to cut James Cook months after spending a 2nd Round pick on him? No. Were we supposed to cut Zack Moss, who performed just as well, if not better in Pre-Season against better players, and had trade value for a guy like Nyheim Hines? No.

 

With the state of the team and roster as of late, gone are the days of Undrafted Rookies making the roster. And that's a good thing. Get used to these players making other rosters and possibly performing well.

Anyone who thought Zack Moss should be on this roster coming into the season should stop drinking the kool-aid.

He had a pedigree coming out of college that had him selected in the 3rd Round. That made him have some trade value that turned into Nyheim Hines. He also performed just as well as Blackshear against better players in the Pre-Season.

He's also Devin Singletary, just not as good.

One downside of being a real contender is that some of the guys you like but can't fit on the roster are better that what other teams have on their 53. Sucks to lose them, especially when you have an injury and would have brought them up. But it's a good problem to have.

Okay?  That means it was a great game?

Imagine if Hines had that same production.

 

motor-cook-Hines 13-46 3 catches 17 yards.

 

Blackshear didn’t have one 50 yard run to pad his stats.  He had mostly 10+ yard plays in his spot duty.  And he had a TD.  Lately we know how hard those can be to come by
