I am looking to see what kinds of WR sets we try as well as looking at TE patterns. I want to see if Barnidge can catch a few balls. I also want to see if Carter can contribute in a game situation or just at practice. If Smitty is out all preseason it could open a spot for him at least through pre-season. I also want to see Goodson in a game situation as well as look at Robinson to see if he is back or not.

We will get to see right off the bat how we will be without Kemo against the run given they will run a lot. It will be interesting to see the defense. Last year I could tell alot from the preseason although things were vanilla and will be the same this year given we play the Giants in the regular season and won't want to give away any secrets. Still it should give up a glimpse into this year because Meeks won't be installing a ton of defensive things as we go. He likes to keep it simple so what we see is what we will likely get.

And I surely hope one of the backup quarterbacks will step up this year. Otherwise we need to go back to the drawing board and bring in some other guys.

On offense, I am interested to see if Jake has mentally gotten past the playoff fiasco. I am also interested to see tha battle for the 4th WR spot.

On defense, I am interested in seeing Charles Johnson, combined with how our DT's perform. The Giants are a very good running team. The 1st quarter will be a good measuring stick of where the DL is right now.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      By MHS831 · Posted

      https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/06/04/panthers-2025-otas-dave-canales-cornerback-free-agency/84016482007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=6840193aa1ae9c000185ac12 I have been curious about the position, wondering if Jackson, Horn, and Smith-Wade were going to be enough. The reporter asks a good question, especially in light of all the Jalen Ramsey rumors.  To me, the big questions concerned depth players Evans and Bartholomew.  As for the UDFA, I have been waiting to hear about Thornton and Reid, but there does not seem to have been a lot of urgency to draft a CB or bring in a free agent.  Morgan basically re-signed Jackson and locked up Horn.  A few highlights from the article: Canales mentioned Evans, Bartholomew, and Thornton by name.  He seems satisfied that Evans and Bartholomew are the key reserves.  Thornton, based on reading tea leaves about his comments, has flashed, but might be on the outside looking in.  Personally, in the limited action Evans and Bartholomew played last season, I was optimistic, and it seems Canales feels the same. He mentions that Smith-Wade is playing inside and outside.  If he steps up, that is good news.  It seems as though they really like Jackson because Canales seemed to focus on CB depth in his answer.  Coaches have to be careful answering questions like this one--If the coach mentions your name, great, but if he does not, it hurts morale.  If he says, "We'd like to upgrade the position" it can also hinder motivation.   Canales did not mention SDSU CB Mike Reid. IN RELATED NEWS I recently read that the Canales likes the battle between Ransom and Richardson for the other safety position beside Moehrig.  Not sure we will be upgrading that position at this time. Remember, the DBs play better when the front 7 plays better. PROJECTED DB ROSTER ENTERING CAMP CB: Horn, Jackson, Smith-Wade, Bartholomew, Evans--Practice Squad Candidates:  Thornton, Reid S: Moehrig, Ransom, Richardson, xxxxxx- I expect Henderson, Gifford, or Thomas (all UDFAs) will battle Scott for the final safety position.

      Getting an early start this year...

      Richardson availablity is hindering his development. I liked him as well and thought a good QB coach could help him.  I am glad they didn't take my advice. 😀
