Video of Bene's one handed pick from minicamp

Philly is the best route runner on the team, by far.

I was wondering for a long time maybe if I was just seeing things, or what... going back and looking at some of this dude's All-22 from last season and he just gets open like a damn boss.  Whether with straight up speed, or by running some absolutely beautifully crisp routes.  The fact that he was a rookie UDFA made it even more mind-boggling.  I've pretty much had to restrain myself from hyping him up.

A lot of the times the ball didn't even make it his way either due to Cam not looking his way, or the o-line got blown up so damn fast he didn't have a chance.  I bet we'll see a lot more balls thrown his way this year.

The fact that Zod has been talking him up all throughout OTA's and the apparent improvements he's made in the offseason...I think he's gonna blow up in a big way.  People are going to be asking this year, "who the hell is Philly Brown, and where did he come from?"  As hyped as everyone is about Funchess... he might be competing for 3rd right now.

I don't mind this so much. It's practice. To me, the play design sets Cam up to make a throw to a spot where the RB (Cotch) is moving his man (Bene) to. The defense is in Man coverage and Bene follows Cotch's route and happens to be in the spot where Cam is throwing. What they've learned here is to probably motion Cotch to that spot in the backfield and/or hold him in the backfield for a second or two to allow that out route by KB to develop without a DB coming underneath like Bene was able to do here.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
