Panthers WR D.J. Moore wins his first (unofficial) NFL award As Carolina Panthers fans we watched Cam Newton win Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2011followed by Luke Kuechly winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2012. We know what it’s like to see talented first round draft picks make significant impacts during their rookie seasons. Well
Youth Greg Olsen Jersey , we can add another prestigious award to the list:D.J. Moore was named to PFF’s Preseason Week 1 NFL Team of the Week!While this recognition doesn’t quite measure up to the hardware Cam and Luke took home, it’s still a great starting point for Carolina’s first round pick. In his first NFL preseason game D.J. racked up four receptions for a team-high 75 yards. On those four receptions Moore showed off his trademark elusiveness by juking about 20 would-be tacklers (unofficially), weaving his way to extra yardage that seemingly didn’t exist. His PFF grade of 90.2 was second-highest among wide receivers and earned him the following praise from PFF:Moore’s elusiveness was almost shocking to see from a rookie facing his first NFL competition. Each of Moore’s receptions can be seen here if you want proof. On his first reception he showed his elusiveness on a wide receiver screen by jumping over an arm tackle, darting toward the sideline
Blue Devin Funchess Jersey , and picking up seven yards. On his second reception he showed his strength by dragging Lafayette Pitts about six yards and only going down after getting gang tackled after a 21 yard gain. On his third reception he showed his smarts by coming back for an underthrown deep ball, putting on the brakes and adjusting before the corner back could react. He picked up 32 yards on the play. The most spectacular play was his fourth and final reception. Moore lined up wide right and ran a shallow crossing route over the middle. He caught the pass about one yard past the line of scrimmage, hit the brakes, and sent the first Bills defender flying past him

Moore broke toward the sideline where he juked a second tackler, stiff-armed a third tackler, and was ultimately pushed out of bounds by the fourth tackler. He turned a short reception into a 16-yard gain. I had to do a double-take to make sure he wasn’t wearing No. 89 and the telecast wasn’t showing old Steve Smith highlights. In the end, PFF saw what we all saw: D.J. Moore looked really
Stitched Greg Olsen Jersey , really good in his first NFL action. Let’s just hope this PFF recognition is the first of many meaningful awards to follow. Why in the world are the Panthers favored yet again? A 6-6 team that has lost four in a row, is 1-5 on the road, playing a 4-7-1 team that has a winning record at home. Go figure. I’m done betting on Panthers ATS outcomes for this season though. If I was going to bet on this game though I like the Browns +1. Instead I will go with the over/under bet of 47.5.I expect there to be a good amount of scoring in this one as the Panthers offense will suddenly stop making the mistakes that has doomed drives. So I’m going with the over 47.5 in this one. I’m going to finish my three team parlay card with one college and one NFL ATS bet. I’m going to take Navy and the 7.5 points and then go with the Packers (-5) at home against the reeling Falcons. I think Aaron Rodgers is sick of losing and will break out of his funk in front of the home crowd. Last week I snapped a four bet losing streak so it was nice to finally get one right. The Chargers pick was a last minute winner for me after looking like it was a loser earlier in the game. That half point was the key. Which is why I like Navy at 7.5. I can see a 35-28 Army win. Keep Pounding!
