Joint Practices.

Reading about all these teams doing joint practices with other teams. I got to thinking, this may actually be a good way to get this team battle ready. 

 

These joint practices have been picking up since 2011. Apparently they are, and have been, allowed for quite some time.

 

I think the value of these events is the competition kicks it to another gear. Some of the best teams are doing it. I ask why haven't the Panthers done this? We have arguably one of the best defense in the NFL, but our Offense could benefit from these practices against say an AFC team. For Example, what if we joint practice with an AFC South team? Tennessee Titans or Indianapolis Colts? I'd say they are relatively close by and travel wouldn't be much of a hassle. 

 

 

Our ones vs their ones.

 

Who wouldn't want to see Keuchly signal calling against Andrew Luck in Practice? Or  Cam go up against a different defense, which is underrated, both the Titans and the Colts.  Now these two teams are just examples. Not necessarily who I would think we'd practice against. Either way the possibilities are enticing. Heck, we could even be practicing with the Steelers, since the owners are buddy buddy. Yes, I hate the Steelers, but this is for the greater good of the team. Rivera could evaluate the team and individual players a like in a much intricate and detailed fashion. Also, Gettleman would have an inside track on the other teams talent and watch their waiver wire. Different schemes both on offense and defense would benefit this team. The veterans and the rookies a like. 

 

 

Rookies would get an earlier taste of the NFL and what it takes vs other teams, the speed of the NFL and if they have it or not and what they need to work on. Our QB would be able to get different looks and schemes. Even if they are vanilla in this section of the season. 

 

Our own division is doing it. The Saints, the Falcons and the Bucs have participated. Why not us? What would it take to get this going next year. I believe it would be imperative to the progression of the team. Instead of the slow starts, this team could have that in the past and have decent starts or even great starts. 

 

 

 

In conclusion, Iron sharpens Iron. I only see win win in this situation. About the only con I would see is probably the high tempers and fights against other teams. 

 

 

What say you huddle?

I like the concept of joint practices, if anything the vets of ether teams aren't wanting to look foolish to another team. Will make every single player work 100 percent, also this will def be the way to go if the NFL expands to 18 games in the near future. With less preseason games to evaluate talent, we will need some scrimmages with joint practices to help with roster choices.

well we should have been dirty sluts and had a joint pracctice week with New England....would have been great work for KB and our other WR's, and also our secondary going against Brady..... plus i would have loved the defense getting to destroy Lafell for a week! i can only imagine the fights that would break out though

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
