Per S.Reed. took all first team snaps today plus had first team reps this past friday. Dolphin game will be interesting to see what transpires. Tre Boston may be warming the pines if this continues. May the best man win.

Harper is the one that should be riding the pine. Boston is younger and better. One weakness of Rivera is not fielding the best 22 possible. 

Why does everyone assume that Boston is better than Harper? Boston has not looked impressive so far this off-season while Harper finished the season strong and had a good perfomance versus buffalo

I wouldn't say this is a common occurrence with Rivera but I do think Boston should be starting. He was terrific last season. I bet we see a rotation and injuries do happen so I doubt Boston rides the bench all year

you can disagree with who he picks but I assure you that he thinks he is picking the best 22 and his coaching staff agrees. So it isn't his opinion alone and if he thinks someone else is better he will be putting him in then. To assume he would not do it to protect vets is beyond stupid given he started 7 rookies in a playoff game which is a record. John Fox maybe but not Rivera

I'm on board with this. If anyone watches the preseason games over with a DVR and takes advantage of the pause, rewind,etc. and looks closesly you'll see a million more times what you thought you initially saw. I was a Harper hater last year because I saw him being to slow to make a play like everyone else here and there. That being said, after watching the SS run support after he left the game against Buffalo, it made the idea of him being the starter much easier to digest. 

Physical attributes only take you so far. Knowing how to diagnose a play, where to be at the right time can more than compensate for lacking in natural physical skill set or speed. 

Also I am more convinced that Rivera is willing to experiment and be thorough in his analysis of who the best guys to be on the field are, after seeing him give players different opportunties to run with the first string in camp and the multitude of different personnel packages we saw against the Bills.

Nice! He's been one of my favorite pickups since the day we signed him. Excited to see what he can do behind this defensive front of ours.  Love the tenacity he plays with.  He can get frustrating at times (Eagle fans know that) but he can really turn it on.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
