CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Local home improvement company Lowe’s has teamed up with the Carolina Panthers to present the Panthers’ 2015 training camp at Wofford College in Spartanburg, South Carolina. As training camp’s presenting sponsor, Lowe’s will help bring additional fan amenities and enhanced grounds to Wofford College this year.   Joint practices with the Miami Dolphins on Aug. 19 and Aug. 20 highlight the Panthers’ 2015 training camp. The practices will be held in advance of the preseason contest between the teams at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 22.    “I have a tremendous amount of respect for Coach (Joe) Philbin, and we’re excited to be working with the Dolphins,” Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said. “The Dolphins do some things differently on offense, defense and special teams so it will be an opportunity to work on all three phases of the game in controlled situations with really good tempo. Our players will see some different looks, and it will be a couple days of quality practice for us.”   The Panthers previously held joint training camp practices at Wofford College with the Detroit Lions in 2000.   Training camp opens on Friday, July 31 with the Lowe’s Kickoff Party. Admission is free and offers fun for the entire family with special on-field performances by the TopCats, PurrCussion DrumLine, and Black & Blue Crew prior to practice in Wofford’s Gibbs Stadium. Fans can also enjoy special activities and some of the Spartanburg region’s most popular food vendors. The Kickoff Party begins at 4:30 p.m. on the Gibbs Stadium plaza with practice scheduled 6:30-8:30 p.m.   The Panthers are scheduled to hold 14 practices that are open to the public while at Wofford with the team breaking camp on Thursday, Aug. 20.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
