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...?"

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
