I know a bunch of people are going to give bell crap in this thread, but it's encouraging to see him and chandler are shedding weight to try and gain agility. I had no idea he was up near 345 last year, that would explain how sluggish he looked at times. 

 

Hopefully one or both step up and take care of our tackle spots for years to come.

Yep, sluggish feet and his knack for turning his hips was Bell's weakness the last 3 years. Losing 15-20 lbs should improve his feet which will also improve his ability to stay square to the LOS on his kick slides.

He said his goal was to lose 30 by training camp. 

 

That'd be pretty damn impressive.

Current caption:

Byron Bell, left, has slimmed down this offseason and believes he can play left tackle, protecting the blind side of quarterback Cam Newton, center.

Nothing wrong there. Was it different earlier?

To be fair, while David Newton wrote the article, he probably didn't write the caption. He may not even have chosen the picture. As a beat writer, he probably just wrote the story, handed it in and was done with it. Writers don't generally do web layout stuff. Plus considering he's met and talked to bell, Chandler and Wharton on more than one occasion, it's unlikely he'd make that mistake.

Chances are whatever web guy added the pic and caption made the error. Someone caught it and now it's fixed.

It did earlier in the day.  He changed it once he realized it, I'm sure.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
