It's not a high light film, it's a scouting film.

The only thing that worries me about Ealy is that he stands up way to much. It''d be one thing if he was as strong as CJ, but to me he's much more of a speed rusher due to his quick acceleration of the line. Either he needs to gain strength or change his technique to where he isn't as upright.

I also think he needs to work on going 100% at all times. Against Matthews it looked like he was giving it his all, but at other times he looks like he's taking plays off. Being that his reps will be limited to mostly third down rush packages, I doubt he takes any plays off.

In not worried about the technique issues, or the lack of consistency like mayock pointed out. I would be concerned if he were drafted to start, but remember he's going to be rotating in with CJ and Hardy this season. He even will probably line up next to them and while the rest of the DLine is creating matchup problems, he will shine through. Also remember how the defense suffered in the absence of CJ. Kony provides instant depth and takes pressure off the two starters we already have to generate most of the edge rush on this defense.

I shouldn't have said worried but more or less concerned.

He needs some work but after hearing from him, I have no doubt he'll put in the time. It's also going to help with Hardy and CJ pushing him.

He can be a good player but he needs an identity. Either get stronger (like Hardy did in the offseason) so you can be a dual threat defensive end or change your technique and use your acceleration to be a speed rusher.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      Would Morgan or Beason have been HOFers' if injuries hadn't derailed their careers?  I was not a close watcher of the game when Morgan was in his prime but I thought Beason had a few seasons at close to Lukes' level of play.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Franchise QBs feast when things are rolling and the tide that raises boats when things are going sideways.  Bryce isn't that. He's a complimentary player, that's it.  When the defense and STs are on point, he plays loose and it shows.  When we are in a dog fight and things haven't gone our way, he struggles.  It's that simple. He's not a horrible QB, but he's not top tier either.  So the question begs, is this worthy of a second contract?  The answer should be no.  It definitely is my answer. Bryce will never be a QB that can produce wins largely on his arm.  That's a FRANCHISE QB, any other QB is simply a placeholder at the starter's position until that guy can be found.   At some point the excuses of lack of weapons will be a straw man.  Heck, it's nearly there now.  I mean if he doesn't look even better than last year will we blame it on the TE position?  'Well if Bryce only had a player like Kelce, Kittle or Gronk on this team...'  Are we really going to do that?

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By MHS831 · Posted

      When I arrived at college, I was 18, not too much younger than some of these draft picks.  It was not a huge school, but there were guys on the team who were 21, 22, 23....playing ahead of me.  I was seventh on the depth chart.  Those guys have been through a few seasons, were stronger, more knowledgeable.  I was a better raw player than some of them, but those other factors matter.  As I grew stronger, more familiar with the playbook, and learned what it was like to play in college, I gradually improved and with that, I rose up the depth chart.  It took most of my freshman year for the light to come on.  Had the coach thrown me into the starting lineup day 1, I would have probably failed.    And that was college.  So I agree with you based on my experience on a much lower level.  Frankly, I think that is why so many kids drafted to fill huge gaps bust.  The teams are desperate.  Anyone who looks to fill vacancies in the starting lineup through the draft is desperate.  You draft depth to develop.  For this reason, I say, "Let Walker start for a while."  Maybe Brazzell can be our WR 4.  Throw Hunter into a rotation and ask him to do one or two things.  Freeling needs some strength and he needs to work on run blocking.
