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...?"

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
