With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB.

I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL

I didnt like the Beason pick or the Kuechly pick at the time. Thought we had other more pressing needs. Certainly would like to have an ILB of that caliber on this team, though. It's definitely ironic that in a year where we maybe have the deepest WR room in franchise history, we probably have the weakest inside LBs, a position historically we've been strong at.

Well, you do have to also consider that they are pretty well set on who the starters are. It's the cut line and reserves they are evaluating in game 3. I would guess that is the reason.

I have to assume it is some trolling job. We can't actually be that stupid......right??

Would have made more sense if they called plays week 1 or 2. No point in calling plays for your 3rd and 4th stringers that are playing Thursday

AR was one of the most obvious and clear busts I have seen in years as a first round pick. The fact that we had a contingent pounding the table for him in the Huddle is scary. He doesn't have an ounce of NFL QB ability in his body. He is just a guy that is a great athlete that can throw a pretty long ball once in a while. He is literally a CFL caliber player as his maximum ceiling.

I would imagine that would only be for obvious pass rushing downs where the NT could hopefully shoot the gap (or stunt with the DE) before the IOL can figure out blocking assignments. I'm grasping at straws though

You are missing that they literally don't have to trade him. He is under contract and they can franchise tag him for two years if they so desire. Why do you think the sports books have the odds heavily weighted towards being a Bengal? Any of this seem familiar? Maybe.....Tee Higgins? The fact that they are leaking this unreasonable ask is basically telegraphing that they don't really plan to get rid of him unless someone is stupid enough to meet their ask price.

Canales is serious about considering himself a developmental coach. That includes staff development, evidenced by the preseason operation approach I understand what his intent is. It makes sense I also disagree with it being best practice for this #Panthers team in this moment https://x.com/rickyboboddy/status/1957846538819965138?s=46 i have to say… i do agree with this take.

Yeah, natural physical ability. That's what people mean when they say "talent" in regards to football.

100%. If Sam Howell was such a hot commodity, why is he a 4 year player on his third NFL team?

Yep, I was pissed we drafted Beason that year instead of Olsen. I wanted Olsen. Fast forward a couple years and we end up with both and both were great players.

You mean body/size? Because there isn’t much talent there. Everything AR has is purely physical.

And trading a top 5-6 at position salary for a 5 year rookie deal.

some details on the fights Joe Person @josephperson · 1h Ikem Ekwonu and Jaycee Horn just got into it pretty good. Ekwonu pushed him and Horn swung. Mike Kaye @mike_e_kaye · 1h We’ve got a scrum between the offense and defense, Moehrig hit the back of Ewonku’s helmet after he got into it with another defensive lineman. We already back to drills though… Alex Zietlow @alexzietlow05 · 1h Scuffle! A big mass of #Panthers players physical after the play. Tough to see who started it, but Jaycee Horn, Tre’Von Moehrig, Ickey Ekwonu all involved. Dave Canales was seen smiling from afar. This practice needed some energy, tbh. Joe Person @josephperson · 1h Temper still flaring after practice between Ickey and Jaycee Horn, and Chuba Hubbard and Nick Scott. Austin Corbett did his best to keep the peace. Darin Gantt @daringantt · 53m Canales joked that he may have pushed the team a little hard. Last padded practice for starters. There was some pushing and punches thrown late.

AR should never have started as a rookie. He was always a 1 to 2 year project with a very high ceiling. I wouldn't write him off yet, but he needs to sit for a minute.

I don’t think you needed to be a UF fan. Dude had bust written all over him.

Martz didn't value the tight end position so he saw Olsen as expendable. Gregg came in here as a first round draft pick who was underused and immediately started connecting with Cam. Honestly I wanted to draft him in the first round when he went to Chicago.

If you could give Bryce the talent of AR you'd have a surefire HOFer.

This is good news! He made a huge leap last year.

Anyone that was a uf gators fan knew Anthony Richardson was going to fail. Super athletic and talented. Terrible accuracy, makes terrible decisions, but every once in a blue moon will make a jaw dropping play. With all that said , B Young hopefully does well this year but may be joining him soon.

I watched Seattle play KC. Their online was deadly. Running at will against KC starters.

Ooo. I didnt know that Hansen had called week 2. Now I gotta watch both again and see what the "core" plays are that they both called and if they had different styles/tendencies based on their specialization(s).
