https://sports.yahoo.com/ranking-nfc-south-offensive... Ranking the NFC South offensive lines: How low do the Panthers go? Carolina Panthers Sorry to trigger you Carolina Panthers fans out there, but offensive line is the next spot up in our NFC South rankings. So just take a deep breath. Now, we know this particular position group has been a bugaboo here for much too long. But, in the second year of the Matt Rhule rebuild, has it begun to improve? And if the offensive line has improved, how low do they go in these divisional ranks? Let’s find out. Well, we didn't have to go too far to find out now, did we? And are you really surprised? Carolina's offensive front, as it's been for seemingly a lifetime, is still a major work in progress. We can start with the interior, with center 31-year-old Matt Paradis who did have a decent rebound from his 2019, but is very much a step below the rock he was in Denver. Then, at guard, we'll presumably be having a pair of battles between Pat Elflein, Dennis Daley, John Miller and possibly Brady Christensen (not exactly marquee names at the moment), all vying for starting spots. The most glaring weakness is at left tackle, where we'll see a picking of the poison between Cameron Erving and Greg Little. If Erving wins the job, which seems to be where this Sophie's choice is going, he'll be the 15th different starter on the blindside since 2013. Carolina's saving grace is right tackle Taylor Moton. And they know it. Moton's efficiency in both pass protection and in the run game is easily noticeable thanks to his power, slick footwork and overall athleticism. As a group, however, there are just simply too many question marks considering the inexperience of its younger players and the proven ineffectiveness of its veterans. Atlanta Falcons Atlanta doesn't boast much better of an offensive line than Carolina does. But at least they go to sleep knowing they have more than one spot they don't have to worry about. One of those is at left tackle with Jake Matthews. While he's not been amongst the very elite at the position, the former sixth overall pick has been a trustworthy presence for much of his seven-year career. The Falcons may also have a pair of keepers manning the right side in guard Chris Lindstrom and tackle Kaleb McGary. Lindstrom, whose selection infamously disappointed Atlanta fans in 2019, had a respectable 2020 campaign and McGary, who still has some room to improve, took a tangible step forward from his less-than-stellar rookie season. Rounding out the bunch, or at least favored to, may be 2021 third-rounder Jalen Mayfield at left guard and Matt Hennessy, entering just his second year, at center. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Continuity was apparently the theme this offseason for the reigning Super Bowl champions and their offensive line was no exception. The Buccaneers will be bringing back their entire starting line, one that doesn't really have an urgent weakness in any spot. Left tackle Donovan Smith's ascent has been smooth and steady, the interior trio of Ali Marpet, Ryan Jensen and Alex Cappa is quite reliable and right tackle and 2020 13th overall selection Tristan Wirfs was fantastic right off the bat. That front allowed a sack percentage of just 3.54 percent this past year, the third-lowest in the league. New Orleans Saints Head coach Sean Payton and his Saints just seem to be ahead of the vast majority of the league in quite a few areas. This is one of them. New Orleans currently rosters the best starting tackle duo in the game, with the consistently great Terron Armstead on the left and ever-improving and already top-level talent in Ryan Ramczyk on the right. Ramczyk is so top-level, in fact, that the team didn't lallygag around in securing their stud right tackle with a five-year, $96 million extension. (You're up next, Carolina.) While not on the level of those two particular teammates, center Erik McCoy has filled the starting duties admirably. The 2019 second-rounder has started and played through each of the team's 32 games since being drafted and has been more than serviceable. Plus, their pair of guards in Andrus Peat and Cesar Ruiz, despite some relatively lower grades at the hands of Pro Football Focus, do have the tools to improve and some versatility that could be useful in some potentially sticky spots. This is not only the top OL unit in the division, but one of the best in the game.

Moton is considered a future elite tackle, and many believe the Panthers would be crazy to let him go. We’re going to see over the 2021 season just how much of a jump he makes into the elite tackle many expect him to be. Whether he’s reached the top 10 tackles in the game is up for honest debate. It might be more fair to argue that he’s reached the top 15 tackle group. Pro Football Focus currently lists Moton as the 13th best tackle in the game with an 81.2 rating, just under Detroit’s Taylor Decker and just above Los Angeles Rams’ Rob Havenstein. Connor Orr of Sports Illustrated even claimed that Moton “established himself as an absolute necessity at the right tackle spot” and believes “he was a must for the Panthers to retain”. What’s generally agreed is the Panthers need Moton for their future.

Duke's Mayonnaise is a condiment created by Eugenia Duke in Greenville, South Carolina, in 1917. While it is the third-largest mayonnaise brand in the United States (behind Hellmann's and Kraft), its popularity was at first largely limited to the South. Duke's contains a higher ratio of egg yolks than most other commercial mayos, which makes it rich, creamy, and less likely to separate when heated. There's a wisp of tang from vinegar and a touch of paprika.

if you are like me and my family,once you try it you will buy it forever.

Thanks for the cap space information. We are in better shape than i thought.

If you’re interested in buying a car, then you’ll probably soon find yourself dealing with the process of negotiating a price. Although some car shoppers enjoy the act of negotiating, many more think that it’s one of the most difficult parts of buying a car. Fortunately, we have a few tips and suggestions on some things to avoid in order to make your negotiation go as smoothly as possible. Don’t Give the First Number In nearly all car deals, the salesperson will ask you a question along the lines of: “What are you willing to pay?” In our opinion, there are several reasons why answering this question with a dollar figure puts you at a disadvantage. Most importantly, you don’t want to tell the salesperson what you’re willing to pay because your starting price might actually be higher than the car’s lowest possible selling price. For example, if a car costs $15,000 and you tell the salesperson that you’re willing to pay $13,000, you might think that you scored a deal, but the dealer may have been willing to go even lower if given the chance. Let the dealer throw out the first number. If you’re asked what you’re willing to pay, consider replying by asking the salesperson for the dealership’s “best number.” This is a great place to start negotiating, and it will give you a better idea of what price the dealer will take in order to sell the car. Stay Calm Many salespeople use the strategy of simply letting the buyer talk. This works because a lot of people talk excessively when they’re nervous, and they might blurt out something that gives the salesperson an advantage. For instance, if a buyer says something such as, “I didn’t plan to pay that much … but I do need the car right away,” the salesperson may be tipped off that the buyer is starting to waver on pricing — and that they’re desperate to get a new vehicle. As a result, we suggest doing everything you can to stay calm and to try to refrain from saying anything that might give the dealership more power in a negotiation. Relax, breathe deeply and try to keep most of your thoughts to yourself. Don’t Lose the Deal Over a Few Hundred Dollars One big mistake that many buyers make during the negotiating process is when they reach a firm price and won’t budge from it — even if the dealer agrees to a price within a few hundred dollars. To us, this is a waste, especially if you’re negotiating for the car that you really want. Remember that a new car can cost upwards of $20,000 or $30,000, so it’s not worth losing a transaction over $100 or $200. You likely won’t even notice that money over the long term when it’s rolled into a monthly payment. Be Prepared to Walk Away We often see car shoppers who become a little too attached to one particular vehicle. To us, this is a big mistake. When you’re buying a car, you can’t get too emotional about one car at one dealership — or else you’ll lose the upper hand in the negotiating process. After all, if the dealer knows that you only want one vehicle, they’re much less likely to drop their price to convince you to buy it. If you do become attached to one particular car, don’t show it. Treat the negotiation like any other deal so that your salesperson doesn’t get the idea that you only want one specific car. Finally, if the negotiation doesn’t go as planned, we strongly suggest walking away and waiting for the next desirable car to show up

One of the biggest needs for the Hornets is a center but it’ll be interesting to see whether general manager Mitch Kupchak decides to use the best player available strategy or draft based on need. The class at the center position isn’t too deep. After USC’s Evan Mobley, who will likely be a top-three pick, the pool is slim. But there still might be some options at pick 11. Oklahoma State’s Cade Cunningham is likely to be the No. 1 pick by the Detroit Pistons, followed by either Evan Mobley or Jalen Suggs. After that, Jonathan Kuminga and Jalen Green are the likeliest to round out the top five.

"Hubbard’s straight-line speed can make a very effective 1-2 punch between him and McCaffrey. Hubbard can be the trenches back finding his way inside zone reads."

It wouldn’t be an overstatement to proclaim that the franchise’s success for the next few years could lie on Darnold’s performance.

Teams usually deal with the backup quarterback position in one of two ways: Invest in young talent to push the incumbent starter to a higher level of play and potentially usurp the starter down the road or hire a veteran to effectively be another coach with a clipboard, providing mentorship and game-management advice. It also might be the best job in the NFL. The backup QB is the player who sees the least amount of time on the field and has an infinitesimal chance of injury while still cashing a hefty paycheck.

A full offseason will help Brown better prepare for his second season, while the addition of edge defender Haason Reddick should give him more one-on-one blocking situations.

Considering the main problem people had with Brown was that they were unconvinced in his potential to generate pressure, it was somewhat surprising to see this area of his game thrive the most. He recorded two sacks, eight tackles for loss, 12 quarterback hits, and 34 pressures during the season. This was especially pleasing and a great foundation from which to build.

https://www.yahoo.com/.../panthers-dt-derrick-brown-named... Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown finished his rookie season on a strong note after dealing with some penalty issues early on. Brown still has a lot of room to grow as a player, but he’s demonstrated enough power and potential to prove he’s good enough to stick around. It should come as no big surprise that Pro Football Focus has named Brown among their 2021 second-year breakout candidates. “Derrick Brown put together a sneakily impressive rookie resume, grading out as the second-best rookie pass rusher (72.5) — behind only Chase Young. Brown actually led all rookies in total pressures (34) through 15 games before Young passed him in Week 17. The biggest problem for him was an inability to turn those pressures into sacks, which he also struggled with in college.” Brown only posted two sacks in 2020, but tehy can be tough to come by. However, the addition of OLB Haason Reddick should free up more opportunities for Brown, Brian Burns and Carolina’s other pass rushers.

I often wonder if sports writers sneak a look at other writers article and base their own articles on them. I suppose that would be a form of plagiarism when you are using someone else's words or ideas without properly crediting the original author.

I have always liked Gardner Minshew and would be a happy camper if we could afford to sign him as a backup to Sam Darnold.

And your opinion is???

How many Huddlers are willing to keep both PJ Walker and Will Grier as backup quarters and how many would like to see another quarterback brought in to backup Sam Darnold?

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/panthers-p-j-walker-ranked-184508601.html Panthers’ P.J. Walker ranked No. 25 among NFL’s backup The Panthers gave up three draft picks to the Jets for Sam Darnold, who projects to be their starter in the 2021 season. Darnold comes to town with plenty of questions about his game after a rough three-year run in New York, even though he has a lot more help here. Worse, if Darnold continues to struggle or gets injured, it’s not like Carolina has a ready-made backup plan at the sport’s most important position. P.J. Walker started one game for the Panthers last season while Teddy Bridgewater was out. While he technically earned a win, Walker had little to do with the victory – which featured a shutout for an invigorated defensive unit against a Lions offense playing an injured Matt Stafford. Walker didn’t do much to impress in that one start or his other random reps. At the end of the year, he had five interceptions to go with just one touchdown. Heading into 2021, it’s only fair to rank him near the bottom of the league’s backup QBs. CBS Sports has him at No. 25: Walker has athleticism, but his biggest issue appeared to be a relatively slow processing speed – a fatal flaw for many young quarterbacks who star either in college or in lesser professional leagues. As it happens, it’s the same problem that’s plagued QB3 Will Grier during the limited action he’s seen since getting drafted in 2019. If these two don’t show significant improvement during the preseason, the Panthers should consider replacing one of them with a veteran who can also help Darnold along in his development. Josh McCown should be at the top of that list.
