cornerback moves are happening

Young coming up, and another DB is being sought

 

The Carolina Panthers will attempt to patch up the hole in their secondary with not one, but two Band-Aids.

According to league sources, the team is planning to promote cornerback Lou Young from the practice squad while also adding a free agent corner. It's unclear who that will be and what the Panthers will do for a corresponding move, but that signing should be done before they start their pre-Giants preparations on Wednesday.

The only thing I take from this is that Tillman is probably way farther behind than anyone wants to admit. I fear we may find out that Tillman's knee hasn't responded at all to treatment, that surgery is the only option and he is being put on IR.

Please let me be wrong.

Or maybe the CB depth is so dire we want to save him for the playoffs. Who knows.

Hoping it's Melvin, I loved Mel and he made plays for us. Would help our depth greatly, and he'll be more familiar with our defense and players than anyone else we could sign. Excited to see what Lou Young has, he has tremendous upside and could turn heads.

Please bring back Melvin White.  I liked him a lot...he always had tight coverage, just struggled to get his head turned around to make plays on the ball.  Surely coaching can fix that eventually right? 

In the very near future, we're going to be like the Patriots where some of our best depth is sitting on the couch waiting for a phone call, and moves like bringing in Melvin White is going to be a regularity when responding to injuries.

    • Its really wild to watch this part of the community boil down the success of the 2025 Panthers to whether or not BY9 busts or breaks out. Ill take middle of the road mistake free game manager that distributes the ball and orchestrates the offense.  If we can get that with a D that doesnt put us in a 27 point+ hole every week the team can improve. Id love a deep post season run but honestly at this point Id be ecstatic about feeling like we could win every week.   Jake is never going to get a yellow jacket but damn if he didnt make watching the team fun.     eta: I think too many people are looking for an I told you so moment over their pre-draft "evaluation" of Bryce
    • I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.   
    • The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.
