Rookie CB Munnerlyn turning heads at training camp

[Mainter]

I thought the coverage could have been a little better, but it was still better than watching the Olympics. Nothing like watching 300 pound linemen run a 40.

I imagine this will only get bigger and better.

[mattmoorefan]

yeah it could have been better...but it was still better than most other things on...my wife even got into it...but she was n0t sure what to think of Maurice Drew(?) runnig that 40 in his white semi-see-thru shorts.

"he should be wearing black spandex...not white...i can see his 'stuff' is jiggling all over the place."

LOL!

i still think the compepetition is between martin and wilson for the #3 job but Munnerlyn playing so well could mean the end of wesley..

Captain is real good at jamming receivers and chucking receivers,” said Panthers starting cornerback Richard Marshall. “He’s surprised a lot of the guys on defense. He’s doing a lot of good things… Sometimes Captain is teaching us on the jam and we are watching him. So we’re learning from him, too.”

“Oh yeah, by far,” Harris said. “He’s very good -- and tough. He kind of reminds me of Richard Marshall a little bit in just his aggressiveness.”

Considering Munnerlyn hasn’t even played in a preseason game for the Panthers that quite a compliment from a veteran like Harris

I guess we can thank the raiders for this pick..

:eek: I am so tired of these messed up topics.

It's really great that he's doing so well, I hope martin is too because reports out of camp have been very quiet on him.

Captain is gonna be a problem...i'm really hoping he makes the 53...Dude was a baller at SC. Those compliments are good looks 4 him.

Gamble, Marshall, Martin, Munnerlyn, Wilson sounds like a talented group. Im not sure they'll cut Wesley though, he seems like a Fox guy and is money on ST. However Fox could go with the talent>experience on this one and cut Wesley. I think the cuts are going to come out from the safety's, wide receivers, and possibly a LB.

Salley or Teal will get cut, and possibly a back up FS will get cut. Wilson could slide in at FS, and could stay on the roster as a corner or FS. If needed, Martin could play safety if we needed him to this year, but he will be the primary nickel.

I think Salley is on the way out. I've had high hopes for him since he got here but the injury bug took his chance, plus it didn't seem like he really impressed that much. In order to keep the guys we don't want to lose I could see it like this.

CB

Gamble

Marshall

Martin

Munnerlyn

Wilson

IF we are really tight for space and want to keep Wesley I could see the safety's like

Godfrey

Harris

Teal

Wilson/Martin/Wesley

Come to think of it I think Wesley is probably gone. There's too much talent to cut guys like Wilson or Munnerlyn and we already have to worry about DT and the WRs. I'm worried about back up SS though. Salley is the only one really close to Harris's skill set and Salley hasn't proven to be good.

I hope Munnerlyn makes the team. He's solid in coverage and he's a hitter. He is a smaller, quicker Marshall.

Munnerlyn will be our nickelback.

I think Wilson is good depth, but probably not the starter we're looking for. Get Munnerlyn in there so he can, like Godfrey last year, cut his teeth as a rookie and hopefully benefit from playing behind one of the better pass rushes in the league.

you know what, im probably calling this one a little too early, but on 3 CB sets I would like to see Gamble and Captain on the outsides, and Marshall on the nickel spot, but only for 3 cb sets. I havnt seen Captain play yet, but I think Marshall could do better as a nickel back. I guess were going to have to wait and see how things play out.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Glad to see a rookie that can at least attempt to live up to his hype. Hoping to see some big things from him in the future.

Cap would get destroyed on the outside. Too big of a mismatch.
