Carolina Panthers rookie camp


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Rookie Camp is this Friday and Saturday.

A first look at the rookies, drafted and undrafted, and also the guys invited to try out.

I remember Kelvin's rookie camp vividly, will be interesting to see how Funchess performs in comparison.

We have a few solid weeks of actual Panthers news until the 6 weeks or so of dead air before training camp.

I'm trying to temper my expectations, but in regards to the offense, you cannot deny that Funchess was drafted into a pretty ideal situation all things considered.

 

He will be working not only with one of the better WR coaches in the NFL in Ricky Proehl, but a savvy veteran in Greg Olsen, and Kelvin Benjamin who at one point was a ROTY candidate last season. Not to mention he will be getting some much needed reps with Cam Newton. Add in the addition of OT Daryl Williams, and there is plenty to smile about moving forward.

Yeah the practices are closed. I'll be there to provide many pics and observations and extended coverage to the all pros.

 

Guessing they'll still have at least a small crowd gather just to watch them walk to the field.

Usually a hand full of folks. Mostly autograph hunters. Always wonder if the items go right to eBay.

 

I got Clausen's for my buddy's teenage daughter back in his rookie year.

 

I've never sold anything like that on eBay.

 

(heck, I've never sold anything at all on eBay)

Funchess has slightly more speed but much less physicality than Benji and, sadly enough, worse hands.

The Huddle needs to temper their enthusiasm for the dude. You're prob gonna have to give him more time than Kelvin.

That being said, I love the insider updates.

    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
