  1. Donte Jackson and Jaycee Horn have the potential to completely shift how our defense operates. They are fast, athletic, and have no trouble taking the best opposing receiver and dealing with them accordingly. Jackson looked a lot like a true No. 1 corner after the bye week once he finally rid himself of the toe problem that made things extremely difficult over the first half of the campaign. This year is a big one for Jackson, who is heading into the final year of his deal. Speaking to the media on Wednesday, his coordinator is confident the former second-round pick can make the necessary strides and become one of the league’s best next time around. Getting Jackson help was absolutely imperative this offseason.
  2. Rhule said the Panthers want Darnold to be more mobile in the pocket and make plays with his feet. That’s different than what the 6-foot-3, 215-pounder endured playing with the Jets, where he was considered more of a drop-back, pocket passer. “He comes from a different system (with the Jets) where they were kind of static, and we’re more of a move up-in-the-pocket, slide-in-the-pocket, throw-in-rhythm type of a team,” Rhule said. “We don’t really want him holding the ball. We want him to play in progression and play in timing. And that’s new to him.” Said Darnold: “If an edge rusher comes through or someone comes unblocked I am going to try to make him miss and makes plays that way.”
  3. I would love for Robby to have a great year but if his price is two high and we feel he is not affordable, Terrance Marshall, Shi Smith,etc are waiting in the wings, just hoping to showcase their talent and cash in on a big pay day.
  4. That would be great but afraid it will not happen.
  5. The Panthers are giving Moton reps at left tackle but will it become permanent? Coaching staffs move players around to different spots on the field which is what several guys are doing right now with the Panthers. The idea is to cross-train players for multiple positions so that they are ready and able to step into a different position if needed. Starting right tackle Taylor Moton has been taking some reps over on the left side over the last week or so but i will be surprised if they are teetering on the decision of moving him over there full-time. Of course, it would make sense to have your best pass protector at left tackle to protect the quarterback's blindside but as Rhule noted, it's not necessarily an easy switch unless you've had a high number of reps. Although left and right tackle are both similar, your feet are switched, your drop back foot is your left foot and not your right, and your angles may alter as well. It's something that takes quite a while to get nailed down which is why you rarely see guys able to play both tackle spots. When asked what would cause the Panthers to move him over to left tackle, Rhule responded: "If he's the best available." So for now, i am putting my money on either the veteran Cameron Erving or 3rd round pick Brady Christensen to earn that starting job. Trent Scott may also be in the mix as well.
  6. The Panthers are a team that likes versatile players, they have several. Arnold emerged as a red zone threat in Arizona last year. Tremble is part fullback, part H-back, part blocker, with the chance to develop as a receiver. Thomas showed glimpses last year, but the additions at the position might not leave many opportunities for him.
  7. I like your honest answer.You did better than me because i will start remembering more players names at different positions after the final roster is set and confirmed.
  8. Wait until the season ends and another question could be > ("How many players on our roster can you name without looking?")
  9. Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 defensive player of the year, certainly brings superior cornerback skills to the table . However, Gilmore turns 31 on September 19; he could be on the verge of seeing his abilities begin to diminish. Last year, the Patriots moved $4.5 million of Gilmore’s 2021 salary to 2020. Typically, that results in the player getting a new deal in lieu of playing for a reduced salary in the following year. And the Patriots seem to be willing to do something with Gilmore’s contract; however, if it was enough from Gilmore’s perspective the deal would be done. A trade presumably is on the table for Gilmore. A new team would have to be willing to pay Gilmore what he wants, too and to satisfy the Patriots with an appropriate trade offer.
  10. Great to see Robby Anderson return to practice for first day of mandatory minicamp. I was never anxious about his return, taking into consideration that Rhule has been Andersons coach since college and was one of the reasons he even made it to the league.
  11. https://www.yahoo.com/news/robby-anderson-attends-panthers-minicamp-160826972.html Robby Anderson attends Panthers minicamp for the first time this offseason 1 / 2 Robby Anderson attends Panthers minicamp for the first time this offseason Jonathan M. Alexander Tue, June 15, 2021 After missing all of OTA’s earlier this month, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson returned to practice Tuesday for the first day of mandatory minicamp. He had previously skipped all of the team’s voluntary OTAs earlier this month. Anderson was the only uninjured Panthers player to miss all previous Organized Team Activities. Anderson said he felt at this point in his career, he knows how to get himself ready, adding that the program he was working on with his trainer was going well. He said the coaches and his teammates approved of it. “I was working,” Anderson said. “It’s not like I was doing nothing.” Anderson is on the last season of a two-year $20 million contract with the Panthers. Anderson made $8 million in 2020 and will make $12 million this year, according to overthecap.com. Anderson is the 27th highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL. Anderson had the best season of his career in 2020. He caught 95 passes, which was 10th in the NFL, for 1,096 yards and three touchdowns. It was his first 1,000-yard season in his five-year career. He led the Panthers in receptions and was second in receiving yards behind DJ Moore. Panthers coach Matt Rhule has not commented specifically on Anderson’s absence. Anderson is expected to again be a key piece to the Panthers’ offense this season. He reunites with former Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, who the Panthers traded for in April. Anderson caught passes from Darnold for two years in New York before joining the Panthers in 2020.
  12. Adding another blocking presence on the edge could help McCaffrey significantly. Tremble can cope with edge rushers seamlessly and absolutely thrives demolishing linebackers at the second level. This will obviously be tougher against more physical defenders who boast more experience. But Tremble has the sort of attitude needed to make the necessary adjustments and become an important part of the offense in Week One.
  13. There isn’t much to go off from a pass-catching standpoint thanks to the limited opportunities Tremble received in college. The prospect did show flashes of what he could possibly do and if he develops his craft in a professional environment, he will be the complete package we need. Tremble definitely fits the mold of what the Panthers are trying to build. His infectious enthusiasm is matched by ruthless aggression that is hard to stop, so we should be able to expect fireworks whenever he is on the field as a rookie.

  15. If Ha Ha makes the team he brings prior NFL experience to the secondary room, which would benefit the younger players. The gained experience helping him become a mentor would probably not have as great of an impact to the young corners as A.J. Bouyce but would certainly have some to a degree.
  16. Ha Ha had one good season years ago but has a long history of not making other teams rosters, so by all means let's be in a hurry to sign him to a big Marty Hurney type contract? I think not...
  17. If the team signs Ha Ha Clinton-Dix following his tryout, he’ll likely play a rotational role at safety while also serving as a mentor to younger DBs like Troy Pride, Jr. and first-round pick Jaycee Horn.
  18. I would hate for us to sign Ha Ha and then discover Ha Ha has become a laughing stock. Pun intended Ha Ha
  19. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/29804037/cowboys-release-safety-ha-ha-clinton-dix-adding-free-agency-sources-say Cowboys release safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix after adding him in free agency Sep 3, 2020 FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys released veteran safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix on Thursday. In March, the Cowboys signed Clinton-Dix to a one-year, $3.75 million deal that included a $1.25 million signing bonus. The team also guaranteed $1 million of his $2.25 million base salary, but the move frees up $1.5 million in cap room. Clinton-Dix opened training camp working with the first-team defense but was quickly supplanted by Darian Thompson. Clinton-Dix spent parts of five seasons playing for Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy with the Green Bay Packers before being traded to Washington in 2018. He played last season for the Chicago Bears. Cowboys' Aldon Smith, who'll play in first NFL game since 2015, shows off The Cowboys were interested in Clinton-Dix because of his ability to take the ball away (16 career interceptions), but he did not perform up to expectations in camp.

  21. Saftey Ha Ha Clinton - Dix has never been amongst the best at his position, outside of his 2016 season. He has, however, been a consistently good player, just not out of this world. That's why he has had at least 78 tackles in every season. That's also why he has at least one interception in every season he played.
  22. Those are great creative works of art. It always amazes me about the talent some people have creating works like this.
  23. Starbucks is hardly the only company struggling with supply issues. Earlier this spring, ketchup packets became hotter than GameStop stock. Automakers have slowed production because there are not enough computer chips for their vehicles. And homeowners are waiting weeks, if not months, for major kitchen appliances.
