Jared Allen made his Carolina Panthers practice debut today and was welcomed by the heat and humidity the south offers in September. 

 

Ron Rivera spent a good amount of time watching his new acquisition, and I have a feeling he was pretty impressed.

Allen is a physical specimen, that much is clear. He should immediately have an impact for the Panthers this Sunday against the Bucs. 

What I was not expecting was how quickly Allen seems to have taken up the leadership and mentor role left vacant by Charles Johnson (now on IR).

Allen was especially talkative and demonstrative with both Mario Addison and Wes Horton. Throughout practice, Allen would stop and chat or demonstrate a move of the hips or perhaps a hand movement. The little things that can turn an average defensive end into a good one.

After the media portion of practice, the Panthers defensive coaching staff seemed more than pleased with their new weapon.

Meh...pointy elbows.

 

 

 

 

Seriously though this acquisition is at the perfect time. He's excited, the team seems excited and we certainly are excited. We get a tough divisional opponent and then a little break. Things are set up as best they can for SEA with the thought that Luke should be back by then and the little injuries get some time to heal up.

If he makes some big plays on Sunday...forget it. I'll welcome that Huddle meltdown/love fest. In fact I look forward to it.

Could turn out to be Gettleman's best move so far. Honestly feel like he could have a really really huge year. And not just for a player his age, I'm talking pro bowl... He fits here better than he has anywhere else in his career. Soon we'll be saying "Greg who...?"

      Young nominated again...

      I can't help but think there are some here who dislike Bryce so much they would rather watch the Panthers tank than see Young succeed.

      Young nominated again...

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      You could have read the article. It's a PR thing the NFL and Fedex has been doing for over two decades to promote Fedex, the NFL and charity work. "Winners won’t just take home accolades, they also unlock impact. Every Player of the Week honor will result in a donation from FedEx to Feeding America for a local food bank in the winning players’ cities. Since the program’s inception in 2003, FedEx has donated nearly $3 million to nonprofit organizations, such as charities and children’s hospitals, in the name of winning players. This new chapter with Feeding America brings the program’s community impact to NFL markets." Everyone is making a bunch of assumptions about the parameters of the award and what being nominated is based on and then arguing over it.  It's whoever the NFL deems had a great game and then fans vote.  Everybody cheers and hungry gets eat.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      This year he is on par with Bo Nix which is better than last year.  Bryce barely beats him in YPA and completion % but has 1 less TD with a lower rating.  He is also one year younger than Bo.  Both players seem streaky and can win but still have a way to go in development.
