Peanut Tillman on the assist from Josh Norman

[Jeremy Igo]

Peanut Tillman snags an INT off an assist from Josh Norman. (Vine from official Panthers account)

 

 

Devin Funchess has to fight through that coverage from Josh Norman. Funchess had a good day yesterday, but ended on this less than stellar note. 

Bright side: The Panthers corners seem to be much improved this season.

Great clip. It looks like he attempted to attack the ball at the highest point, but maybe mistimed his jump a tad.
 What are J NO and Peanut doing on the same side?

[The Huddler]

This just shows the differences between our two big recievers. While Funchess is mighty talented, he brings more of an elusive, yac type of game to our offense. 

 

Benjamin would have come diwn with that football. Those long arms and his physically dominating demenor is incredibly unique. Not saying funchess cant go up and get it, but im glad we have two big guys who bring a little something different to our offense. Really makes us versitile, and simply do whatever the hell we want to that defense considering if we can pound the rock and let Cam be Cam. 

 

Have a good day folks.

Guys making plays in TC is always bittersweet IMO.  Glad to see guys making the plays, but discouraged for whatever side of the ball failed at their job.

I will say I'm getting more and more optimistic about Peanut playing a bigger role than expected and contributing more than originally expected too.

This exactly. I would really like to know why in the world both corners are covering Funchess. It really does look like he jumped a second too early as Cam put a little more air under that throw than what he usually does.

Cam short armed it a little, but like many said, Funch has to fight through that.

Was Peanut playing FS on this play?

Love what Tillman brings to the Panthers secondary.  That veteran leadership was sorely missed last year.

[h0llywood]

Tillman and Norman! There will be a lot of punched balls this year.

on a side note. why wear knee pads at all? Seems like no one really wears them correctly or wants to wear them.

[PanthersAlv]

HA!

That happened right in front of me...

Showin a rookie whats up.

[PhillyB]

i can't fuging wait to watch this secondary steal peoples' balls

More importantly, the white pants look good with the blues.

I said in another tread that i want norman to bring funch down a notch in TC.  Let him know that pure ability will get you only so far in the NFL.  This is good for him, get in the film room and fix it.  

I dont see him taking KBs #1 spot but he will be a solid #2 reciver by the time the season is ready to kickoff.
