Legitimate question for anyone who remembers: How did Lou Young do in the preseason?  I vaguely remember hearing some good things about him but IIRC, he also gave up some big plays in the preseason too, though.  Could be wrong

Would think the biggest thing about bringing in someone from the outside this late would be their familiarity with the system.  I am surprised there seems to be no interest in bringing back Melvin White.  He played reasonably well.

It's going to be very interesting... I know/hope they don't expect to stop Seattle and Arizona between the hashes with Finnegan. Especially as good as Seattle is at throwing up the seams. Maybe a lot more PT for Shaq? If he plays physical on slot receivers he could disrupt them on the line and give our pass rush plenty of time. Coleman is going to have to keep balling out of control.

We put a safety or LB on the slot receiver and Arizona/Seattle will torch us.

I wonder if Tre Boston will see more playing time with Bene out and especially of we play teams that spread their WR's out.  And Seattle definitely is doing that more it seems the last few games just like AZ.  Boston would inject some more speed and coverage ability in the secondary, even if he's not as good in run support as Harper.  Shaq may some increase- he has the speed to cover TE's in the slot and in tight to the line, but the Panthers like all teams usually put a safety on a TE out wide (of course Harper covering Graham was a disaster), so I don't know that it will be a huge increase for Shaq.

The Finnegan signing is becoming huge right now- hopefully he can play well down the stretch b/c he's going to get a lot of PT.  Still have to do something at CB.  Teddy Williams may be good as ST but I hope we're not planning to depend on him to cover Michael Floyd or John Brown.

Regardless of anything, the pass rush is going to go a long way to determining how far we go in the playoffs.  The pass rush was getting constant pressure yesterday even when we didn't get sacks.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
