Foxaroney is rusty and needs TC also!

I like this part the best:

There's also the matter of rookie running back Mike Goodson, their fourth-round pick from Texas A&M. He's not a small guy (6 feet, 212 pounds), but he lacks the kind of inside pop Williams and Stewart possess. But his quickness and outside speed give them a new dimension. They're considering plays where he lines up as a slot receiver (they often split their backs wide in empty backfield sets), but mostly want to give him a chance to touch the ball.

“I think he's going to play a big role,” Delhomme said.

“He's sure running the ball hard. He's a talent. He catches he ball well. ... I think he's going to be another weapon.”

There are other minor tweaks, as well.

Delhomme's got a new quarterbacks coach for the first time since joining the Panthers in Rip Scherer.

Scherer's been putting the quarterbacks through a series of new drills to improve their footwork and mechanics. They'll zig-zag through cones before throwing passes, and then Scherer might lunge at them with a blocking dummy to make them get a ball out at odd angles. Mostly, it's something new.

Not sure. The article is about running the ball already.

Last year, they finished third in the league in rushing, seventh in points scored and 10th in total offense. It's hardly the run and shoot, but with their run, run and run some more style,

I think he is talking about throwing the ball down the field and passing the ball in short and shorter situations. But I could be wrong...

I don't know, but last year he and Jake both effed around and lined up on D. I think they both had INTs.
Yes. In fact, I still have a pic of it! :D

I sure hope the defense doesn't play like they did the 2nd half of last season. Otherwise, we'll be a poor man's Saints, put up a lot but still lose.

:party: Even though I'm sure he meant to say run and pass lol.

No, I think he meant that but was taking out of context. He was being asked about running the ball and said you also have to be able to throw and pass. I don't think he was saying those were the two things you have to do.

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

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
