Didn't lose any major free agents (outside of hardy), new ST coach, competition brought to the offensive line and a raft of new faces to the special teams and we arent even at the draft yet, hard to be real upset about the off season so far

 

But but but we didn't sign Torrey Smith, Randall Cobb, Bryan Bulaga, Jason Pierre-Paul, Alan Ball, Greg Jennings, Michael Crabtree, Hakeem Nicks......

from the comments on NBC:

"As a Dolphins fan I am NOT happy that now Miami’s special teams has lost one of the best special teams captains there are. I’d love to know who Philbin has in mind to replace him! You got a good one, Panthers!"

The special teams unit that they rolled out last year was horrible in all phases.. You can't worry about a pick for Hardy that may never happen. D.G is building this team the right way and not neglecting a glaring weakness. I trust his judgement.

Hopefully a senn type player. Can do whatever is asked of him

Honestly, the more I read about this guy, I find myself pondering whether he might actually be a Chase Blackburn replacement.

He's a high character veteran who I could see being penciled in as the backup middle linebacker along with his obvious special teams contributions figured in. Also noticed he sounds like a guy who is kind of a leader on special teams, not just a player.

Makes me wonder.

I thought I'd give you guys a heads up that signing Trusnik could potentially cost the Panthers a 3rd round comp pick in 2016 for Greg Hardy.  It does depend on the size of Trusnik's contract--if it's small enough he may not qualify, especially since he's primarily a special teamer.  But if he does qualify, they would currently only be eligible for a "net-value" pick that would likely not make the 32-pick limit. 

 

In order for the Panthers to get that Hardy pick back for sure, they would need at least one of the following five UFAs to sign elsewhere before June 1: Byron Bell, Chase Blackburn, Fernando Velasco, Garry Williams, or Kevin Matthews.  They could also get it back if Trusnik or Kurt Coleman gets cut before Week 10, but I doubt that thought has been crossed.

 

 

lol ok cool

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
