Sounds like the team is going to see how Tillman's knee responds tomorrow at practice, and if they feel the need to place him on IR, then they will promote Lou Young from the PS.

they're not going to put tillman on IR unless his knee literally grenades in the middle of the field.

Question:  does anyone know how much turnover we've had in terms of DB coaches and schemes since McClain was last a Panther?

He was in the final cut down in the preseason with the team in 2011. So he would have gotten offseason and preseason work with McDermott and Rivera.

Steve Wilks(Secondary coach), Richard Rodgers(DB assistant) and Curtis Fuller(Nickel CB coach) didn't join the team until 2012.

Thanks. 

I think the only members of the defense with whom he ever would have played are TD and CJ... so, while there's a bit of Panthers' familiarity, not a ton... it's pretty dated.

[Offtopic PS:  Do you realize Luke is already the 3rd most senior player on our defense?  Wow...]

They know what they are getting. He was in previously for a workout (maybe multiple?) so who knows how much familiarity they have. Jon Jones said he was 1st priority after Bene went down.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
