And some of y'all like what you seen from Byrd and I don't know how, he had a couple drops that were easy passes but I might ned to watch the game again

Had one drop, the other was just well defended.  Even Funchess had a drop.  They're rookies, probably just nerves.  People's expectations are just too high on this board.  Just a reminder, Byrd is an undrafted rookie.  He's not going to come out in his first preseason game and get 100+ receiving yards.  Even Amari Cooper, who went 4th overall, finished with 3 receptions for 22 yards.  His and Byrd's stats were nearly identical.  Just saying.

Overall thoughts on the game.  Not going to be too critical since it was only the first preseason game.

[...]

TE:  Did Williams play?  Really liked what I saw from Lucas.  If he continues to play like that, then it might be time to say bye bye to B. Williams.

Nice summary...

Just FYI: Brandon Williams is still on the PUP list, and I think he missed most (all?) of OTAs too.  So he is on the bubble for sure.

Question: 

In the game summary by Bill Voth at BBR is this comment:  "CB Bené Benwikere, who missed the first week of training camp with a tight hamstring, was back in his No. 1 nickel role."

DID Bene actually play?  I don't remember hearing his name at all or seeing anyone make any comment on his play?   I was thinking he'd been held out due to his hamstring.

Turns out he did play, but I don't know how many snaps.  There's a picture of him in the Observer photo gallery.

Carolina Panthers' Bene' Benwikere (25) helps to brings down Buffalo Bills' Charles Clay (85) in the first half of Friday’s exhibition game. The starting and backup linebackers showed well during the initial outing.

I thought the team looked fairly decent last night.

I didn't like the lack of push in the running game from the first team but the protection was pretty decent. I see a lot of comments about Fozzy but to me he looked good. He just had no where to run.

Defense was avg but we aren't seeing the real D here. Star and KK make the world of difference.

Apparently Ron was not pleased with the second team defense. "Unacceptable and upsetting" he said. I'm not sure what he expected. They made the decision to prioritize special teams play over position depth. This is what happens. 

I think it was alot about having 10 penalties in 2 quarters of play and not tackling

This may deserve a new thread?  I'll let someone else post it, if so.  But the PFF grades for Friday night's game are out, and are pretty encouraging.

      Look at the WRs in recent drafts around 19

      By frankw · Posted

      Unfortunately you just can't get through to some of these folks. The most successful season in Panthers history our #1 WR was Ted Ginn Jr who had just as many bone headed drops as he did highlight touchdowns. We already have the highest paid OL in the league two years running. We need a balanced roster more than anything else clearly.

      Pantherswire hypothetical trade down 19-22

      https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/04/06/nfl-draft-trade-rumors-panthers-chargers-quentin-johnston/89484524007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=69d47a425bd91b00016ecfb1&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=facebook Saw this hypothetical trade down scenario on Panthers wire where they had us dropping from 19 to 22 trade with the chargers which also knitted us the addition of Quinton Johnston personally I would take this deal because the players available at 22 and 19 are largely the same you could pick up maybe a tackle or even one of those defensive tackles that we liked like banks.  Grabbing a wide receiver who could probably replace legate and be a deep ball threat would be just what the doctor ordered in my opinion Yes he's kind of a reclamation project similar to legette but I think he's shown he can play and has more big game moments than legette. I think it would be like getting two for the price of one really allowing us to feel more holes getting a wide receiver and another spot filled for nothing but two or three draft spots.

      I saw a mock draft where Monroe Freeling falls to the Panthers at 19 and if that happens they'd better rush their card to the podium.
