Charles Johnson moving to Right Defensive End

David Newton talks about a possible switch from the left defensive end spot to the right in the article below. Newton says that Charles has lost a step and that it makes sense to move him to the right side so he can go up against a less athletic RIGHT tackle. He believes this can help replace Hardy's production from the quarterback's blind side.

Unfortunately, Newton's logic is flawed since moving Johnson to the right means he is going up against a more athletic LEFT tackle! He clearly does not understand that attacking the blind side means you are going up against a left tackle.

Not a good thing, he's better on the left as he's been there pretty much his whole career. And idk if CJ lost a step, he lost all his damn weight and his strength. At least last year he did, don't know about how he's looking so far

Yeah hopefully if he's back to 100% he can be disruptive on that side. Maybe they think ealy and Alexander are better suited against the RTs and CJ can be crafty enough against the LTs. CJ and Addison against the LTs and Ealy/Alexander against RTs.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
