Well, this should disturb Panthers fans everywhere. Remember on Sunday when Jake Delomme threw a touchdown pass to Steve Smith that was nullified by a penalty on guard Mike Wahle? Head coach John Fox admitted that Delhomme didn't actually mean to throw the ball to Smith.
Said Fox: "It was a screen. They covered it pretty well and Jake was trying to throw it away and it happened to fall into Steve's hands. It wasn't the O-line's fault."
So... our quarterback doesn't know how to throw the ball out of the end zone? Really? Maybe Ski's right about QBs named Jake...
Wahle was flagged for being an ineligible man downfield on that play. Of course, he would be downfield on a screen, busted or otherwise. Kind of a shame, though -- it was actually a nice pass, even if it was completely unintentional.
Speaking of Wahle, he injured his shoulder in Sunday's game and will be re-evaluated by doctors on Wednesday, as will DeShaun Foster, who hyperextended his elbow and had to leave the game in the first half. Wahle is one of the few linemen on the team who has remained healthy all season. Losing him now would be a big blow to an already struggling offense.
