Alan "Blue Balls" Ball leaves Panther offer on table

[TylerVagyler]

He's 6'2" and is best in press man. That's intriguing.

How many times did we press?

[ecu88]

Philosophy change? More pressure packages?

Off the top of my head, I don't recall us doing it much. But maybe we didn't because the staff wasn't comfortable doing it with the players we had?

Well worth a shot. Good player when healthy.

We have tall receivers in our division so this could help us. I'm not going to say he will start because I'm not sure but competition will be nice to have at the CB position. Since Gus Bradley is from Seattle maybe Ball learned some new things from him to get better. Jacksonville has some young CB prospects that have promise so the reason why he isn't with Jacksonville isn't because he sucks but because they have young talent.

Still trying to confirm @RavensInsider report about Alan Ball. FWIW, he was rated No. 10 in coverage by @PFF during last healthy yr in ’13.

Well, at least Voth is attempting to confirm.  Joe Person hasn't even heard the news.

Guess we should follow @RavensInsider for our Panthers news?

Awesome, and IMO takes away the risk/temptation to go CB super early in the draft.

Yup, #Panthers have agreed to terms w/CB Alan Ball. Has been w/Cowboys, Texans, Jaguars in 8 years. First reported by @RavensInsider.

We need gunners and he fits the bill.

Honestly, the guy breaks more Panthers news than anyone else.

From a Jags fan, I asked him if hes a good slot guy.  

 

"Not sure cuz he was an outside corner for us. He is good in press coverage cuz he's big and long, and he doesnt allow the deep pass. But as a slot where he isnt pressing? poo, he's gonna get abused."
