Best part - we spread the ball around instead of just relying on McCaffrey to be our offense. Best opening drive I’ve seen in awhile.

I’m hoping Daley will fill in @ LG if Elfein can’t go. I think Daley plays more naturally on the left in fact he said so in a recent interview.

I have every reason to believe we would’ve snagged Sewell if the Lions hadn’t taken him one spot earlier. The selections of Christensen and Brown show the team is making efforts to beef up the OL but we have to give those guys time to develop. I believe both will be contributors this season. And I agree that the coaching staff - particularly Rhule - bears some responsibility for that but not for lack of trying to address the problem. For example, Daley told us playing on the left is more natural for him but he subbed on the right anyway. I feel he would’ve been better @ LG than Elfein and Brown or Christensen could’ve been plugged in on the right as they did in preseason but that’s not my decision to make.

We can’t plug all of our holes in one off-season. Next year’s draft is loaded with OL talent and particularly @ LT. I’d be really disappointed if we didn’t go heavy in the trenches next year.

Nice points. Chinn’s best position is SS where he can defend in the box and blitz but he struggles in coverage. I also don’t think it was a coincident that he got exposed a little after Hartsfield went out. Hopefully the Panthers can make the needed adjustments for the Saints.

I wouldn’t call their defense poor - they’re young and inexperienced - but we definitely made them look better than they are currently with spotty OL play in the 2nd half.

That was the right call but I think Darnold was a half second too late on the throw and the defender made a great taclkle.

We got playmakers. It’s our playcalling and blocking that’s not cutting it.

WTH does our O disappear every 3rd quarter? It’s been this way for years. And now our D is making a rookie look like Montana

He’s definitely missing last year’s weapons. WR’s not getting open and OL blocking not great either.

Agreed. It also provides stability at LS for our new kicker (whoever that will be)

Of this list, Melvin, Chandler, Smith and Bonnafon. Robinson could make it over Chandler but he could be gone also. Rhule stated a few weeks back that he didn’t have a great camp and he’s been injured. He played well against the Colts though.

Thompson and Thomas are likely goners. Maybe Thomas has some trade value but I just don’t see how he makes the 53.

Ricci showed me something this preseason. I’d let Thompson go in a heartbeat if it meant bringing Armagh back.

I think we’re an MLB and FS away from being an elite defense.

That’s what really stood out to me. He looks huge. We haven’t had a corner that big since Chris Gamble. He’s going to a QB’s nightmare once he gets some seasoning on him.

I agree to an extent but with a new kicker we may decide to keep the experienced player.

^this truly hate it for him but wish him the best wherever life takes him. Hope he has the chance to overcome whatever’s holding him back and becomes a real success story.

Yeah but some of his passes are not good either

Good question…our run blocking really sucks

Can’t argue that we crapped the bed more often than not but Panthers were in the playoffs 2013-2015. Lost to SF in ‘13, the Seahawks in ‘14 and the Broncos in ‘15 SB50.

Gentlemen certainly had his flaws but you can’t deny his successes here. After all, the Panthers reached the playoffs in back-to-back seasons and the SB during his tenure. You’re last sentence is spot-on. Here’s hoping what we’ve seen so far from Fitterer-Rhule regime is a sign of great things to come.

This nice breakdown

Thank God…and it’s damn refreshing to see!

This but what more can you expect from Dan Synder?
