Captain Morgan

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 2m Right tackle Taylor Moton said he feels the offensive line can be a strength this season. He wants to be a better leader this year.

Joe Person @josephperson · 13m DJ Moore says he was able to "share the glory" in terms of treating his family members after his signed his contract extension. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 12m DJ Moore on re-signing with the Panthers: "Charlotte is where I want to be. I'm just glad we got a deal done before all the craziness."

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 17m Matt Rhule on how he's tried to improve: "The biggest thing I've tried to do this training camp, these OTA's is really focus on players and my relationship with players. Going golfing and to dinner. Those things helped me have success in the past."

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 17m Rhule also says Terrace Marshall is working hard, showing up at 5:30 a.m. every day. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 18m Matt Rhule: "I thought Sam (Darnold) was outstanding today. It was probably his best practice since he's been here." He notes the deep pass to Terrace Marshall. Joe Person @josephperson · 33m Practice wrapping up for Panthers. Sam Darnold had a good day throwing it. Johnny Hekker had a good day punting it.

here we go Joe Person @josephperson · 9m Rhule says he believes a veteran QB would have time to learn the offense and get ramped up if he's on the roster by training camp. Joe Person @josephperson · 12m Rhule still keeping the door open to the possibility of a veteran QB. Says he and Scott Fitterer are going to sit down after minicamp next week and evaluate all the positions, incl. QB.

Joe Person @josephperson · 5m Matt Rhule says S Xavier Woods has been excused for most of OTAs due to a family situation. Ian Thomas has been out after getting kicked in a practice last week. Rhule mentioned high ankle.

welcome back Jaycee Sheena Quick @Sheena_Marie3 · 1h Jaycee Horn picks of PJ Walker to open up OTAs.

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 11m Matt Corral scrambled for about a 10-yard touchdown on a 11 on 11. He definitely have some wheels.

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 3m A huge hole for opened up in the Panthers offensive line, allowing Christian McCaffrey to run untouched up the middle for a 60 yd TD. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 4m I can see easily Terrace Marshall having a much improved year, if Ben McAdoo can figure out a way to better incorporate him into the offense, which I do expect. He has all the tools and the potential. Big body. Good speed. Nice hands.

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 55m Final week of OTA’s for the Panthers before minicamp begins. No sight of Robbie Anderson or S Xavier Woods . Woods recently had a baby. Joe Person @josephperson · 46m No Shaq Thompson today. Joe Person @josephperson · 58m Jeremy Chinn is back. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 24s Y’all, Sam is dealing today. It is only OTA’s, but he has had a good day. I’m just saying.

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 23m Matt Corral is back. He has been back the past few days after missing a couple of days for a personal matter. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 13m Dont’a Foreman is a big dude standing next to Corral. Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 41m Jaycee Horn just picked off PJ Walker in 11 on 11 drills. Joe Person @josephperson · 41m Panthers beginning practice running two-minute offense with piped-in crowd noise.

Jonathan M Alexander @jonmalexander · 9m Both Sam Darnold and Matt Corral have looked pretty good in the two minute drill. Now mind you, there is not threat of a hit. But both have been accurate with their passes.

It's something to look forward to...the question is how much access our media will have. But at least it's something. After that, I don't think there is anything till training camp.

dude made over 80 mill, good for him

We had a 3rd round grade on BC as a tackle, 2nd round grade as a guard. Jordan was terrible, so Ickey and BC, entering his second year, should be a formidable left side for years. Corbett and Moton should handle the right side. Corbett is under contract for the next 3 years. I was hoping we could spend a second rounder this year on a center, but we have big needs on D at DT, Edge and Linebacker....and we don't have a 3rd rounder. However, the future of the OL is bright...about the time Moton's contract expires (2026) we'll be signing Ickey long term and looking for a rookie right tackle. And RT is much easier to find than LT. If Bozeman can be the guy at C, we could sign him for another year or two (he's cheap...my fear is he will suck) we could get an anchor at C in the draft in 2024. "The Panthers added new interior starters in guard Austin Corbett and center Bradley Bozeman. Taylor Moton remains entrenched at right tackle, leaving one open spot — left guard — on Carolina’s reconfigured O-line. Christensen stands to battle 2021 left guard starter Michael Jordan for the gig, per Person. One year remains on Jordan’s rookie contract. Although Christensen was an All-American left tackle who generated Pro Football Focus’ highest single-season tackle grade in the site’s short history grading college players, it appears a best-five-blockers-type plan could produce a quintet featuring the 6-foot-6 lineman alongside Ekwonu next season." https://www.profootballrumors.com/2022/05/panthers-eyeing-brady-christensen-at-guard more at the link.

honestly, those kind of numbers surprise me, but I know they are becoming the norm as the salary cap increases each year. Brian will be our highest paid player in franchise history at 24 mill a year. He's also only 24 years old, so his prime is ahead of him. Maybe he'll out-perform the contract.

wow, Ham to the Lakers

think he's from Charleston...he might want to come here.

we'll probably be looking at LBs an DTs....no pass rushers worth anything will be let go because they're too valuable. Rhule said he wanted a LT, QB and pass rusher, and we got the first 2 in the draft.

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR · 1h With the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery set to take place soon, below are the @hornets possible outcomes tonight and the likelihood of landing each selection: 1: 1.00% 2: 1.11% 3: 1.25% 4: 1.43% 13: 92.88% 14: 2.34% Charlotte has a 4.79% at a Top-4 draft pick.

anything higher than our current pick. #1 would be nice. We have a 1% chance of that. Not that I know much about it, but found this... "Once the first four picks are established, the remainder of the teams are selected to figure out positions 5-14 in inverse order of their 2021-22 records." Read more at: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/charlotte-hornets/article261483747.html#storylink=cpy so unless we get incredibly, and I mean incredibly lucky, we'll be picking at our normal spot.

could we improve our position like we did two years, getting LaMelo? Probably not, but possible.

man that's like cutting a first round rookie after one year
