Panthers Sign LB Jason Trusnik To A One-Year Deal

Just hoping he can be as versatile and impactful as was Jordan Senn. Senn was the captain and heart and soul of a Panther special teams unit that made our special teams unit one of the best and most dependable units in the league.

We needed this signing and Gettleman got it done. we need solidarity in all 3 phases of the game. This signing with the addition of upgrades across the lower end of our roster show how important every member of our roster truly is.

no weak links regardless of what may occur to our team's roster from top to bottom...we need all of our players to be able and ready to execute and step in when needed

best STs coverage unit in the league?

 

Heres the thing, everyone is thinking all of these players signed will make the team, and some will, but not all.  What I believe they're doing is they are bringing in lots of guys who are talented Special Teams guys who want to get a chance to make an impact in their regular positions (LB, Receiver, RB, Safety).  What will happen is they will all get a chance at their regular position and should they perform as well as other guys vying for a roster spot, they will make it based on their ability to play special teams as well.  Boykin is a perfect example, if he performs as well in camp as cotchery, bersin, or Hill, he will make the roster because of his ability to help on special teams, if he doesn't, well he will get the axe and won't cost us much.

curious about the usage of the word "an".

MLB is pronounced "em el bee", making an the proper word to use. If it said middle linebacker, they would use " a" instead. Same reason we say "an hour" instead of "a hour".

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
