GETTING TO KNOW …

Mackenzy Bernadeau, guard

Background: One of the final players taken in the 2008 draft when Panthers took him in the seventh round with the 250th overall pick. … Played at Bentley (Mass.), an NCAA Division III college in his hometown of Waltham, Mass. … Was on Panthers' active roster all season, but didn't play in any of the five games he dressed for.

What you need to know: With two backups (Geoff Hangartner and Frank Omiyale) gone from last season's deep and talented offensive line, Bernadeau is one of the Panthers' young players who might be needed if injuries strike. … Bernadeau won a strong man competition in the offseason.

BY THE NUMBERS

13 - Total runbacks for touchdowns by rookie Larry Beaver at Division III Wesley (Del.), an NCAA all-divisions record.

50 - Consecutive starts by rookie offensive tackle Patrick Brown at Central Florida.

51 - Career touchdowns by receiver Steve Smith, most in Panthers history.

OBSERVATIONS

Monday night's practice was held in relatively cool temperatures. That won't be the case Tuesday, when another hot one (mid- to upper-90s) is expected in Spartanburg.

Jake Delhomme had a rough couple of plays in the night practice against the nickel defense, sandwiching a completion between a bail-out toss out of bounds and a long interception by Chris Gamble.

Rookie defensive tackle Everette Brown excels at drills that require quickness and running. He blazed around a tackling-dummy slalom course during the evening practice. He'll rely on that speed and quickness when the season starts.

Linebacker Thomas Davis, who missed another day of practice with a sprained knee, was running on it without any noticeable limp.

QUOTING

“Everybody is in better shape than me.” Linebacker Jon Beason, who missed a week of practice with a hamstring injury.

    • I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme
    • You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.
    • It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
