I expect him to play as long as Sammy Watkins plays tonight. Both are in the same situation, both have are lock number one receivers come season time provided they don't fall off the face of the earth in the next 3 weeks. Both need to see live action, so I'm saying Benji plays about a quarter, give him time to match up against a pretty great corner in Stephon Gilmore.

Oh and by the way for the people who say our secondary is weak, our secondary will be able to compete with a lot of our division. Kelvin Benjiman is just that good to be able to beat a lot of them. Our secondary will be better than last year, Melvin White a second year corner has gotten better, he is a lock, Antoine Cason is an upgrade over Florence, and Beniwirkeri can definetly take over the slack Munnerlyn had, if he keeps improving on his training camp performance.

I read that McDermmont also used a 2-man zone to blanket KB while pressing him at the line which opened up everything else...teams will have to pick their poison if they give safety help on KB and we all know Cam can spread the ball around pretty well....my point is KB is gonna help open up space for so many new activities and i "can't wait!!"

What actions for KB do you find most important for tonight?  What I would like to see is if he can make adjustments on a route to give DA a chance.  I believe he is going to be a catching machine but I'd like to see how he does in traffic.  He isn't a burner so I don't look for a lot of separation but please let me see one jump ball tonight.  I've been waiting to see him sky since we drafted him.

Minimum needs a half....

He is raw and we don't provide him with legit NFL secondary coverage in practice

You said the exact same thing about our secondary last year. Every time there was a mention of a receiver having a good practice it was the same thing. "Our weak secondary this, our weak secondary that". Sheesh.

Why is it so hard for you to give credit where it is due? Maybe, just maybe, Kelvin is THAT good.

I'd like him to play as long as DA does. Once they go to Webb and other dude I'd pull him.

Hearing people say he might only play 1-2 possessions. I know he has the starting job locked up, though we need to see what he offers in a real game. How long do you think we see him for? I was hoping for a good two quarters.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
