Play special attention to how Lou Young is looking.  I've heard he's been balling out lately.

STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES

STRENGTHS: Good-sized frame for the position and doesn't shy away from contact. He has a nose for the ball and goes after it in the air, matching up well with receivers to break up the play at the catch point. WEAKNESSES: Needs to clean up his tackling technique, too often just throwing his shoulder and getting lazy. After a sophomore season that put him on the NFL radar, Young took a step back in 2012 as a junior, struggling with off-field issues, injuries and maddening inconsistencies. Returned to a full-time starting role as a senior.--Dane Brugler

PLAYER OVERVIEW

A three-year starter at Georgia Tech, Young finished his career with 134 tackles, four interceptions and 12 pass break-ups while starting 34 of 49 career games.He played in 12 games as a reserve cornerback and special teams contributor as a true freshman before entering the starting lineup as a sophomore. Young started all 12 regular-season games in 2011 before being suspended for the team's bowl game due to a violation of team roles. He finished with 52 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, one interception and five pass break-ups.Young started nine of 12 games he appeared in as a junior, missing one game with an injury and finishing the season with 32 tackles, one interception, one fumble recovery and two pass break-ups.He returned to start all 13 games as a season, recording 40 tackles and two interceptions.

I think young Lou may have what it takes physically, and just needs to get the right mindset and consistency.

      Canes vs Lightning 7pm

      Lil Stanky 100% in the dot tonight... And our 2nd line has been our best offensive line this season. Maybe our 2C really was on the roster this whole time...?

      BREAKING: Panthers re-signing Nick Scott

      By flagfootballcoach28 · Posted

      That’s a grade I kind of expected tbh. I’m not a huge fan of NS, but he’s not as bad as what the huddle says he is minus the horrible game he had vs the Rams. I’ve always thought he’s often used as a scapegoat. The improved pass rush should hide his deficiencies a little bit better if he’s the game one starter. FS might have to be a position we punt on this year unless Thieneman falls to us at 19. The reality is, you're going to have a few average players in certain spots for a team with as many holes we had before free agency started. You can’t sign everyone.

      I am by no means trying to say he's a world beater. I'm saying it's trending in the right direction. Especially when measured against himself.i think the team feel the same way or else they wouldn't have picked up his option. Plus I think there is a new idea in the NFL about these young QBs. Teams give up to soon. Browns gave up to soon on baker same with the jets on Geno and darnold. Maybe they are who you thought they were in the draft process and they need more time to develop than you originally planned. Either way. I do think he is as capable as darnold is as far as you can win a championship with him. And something he does have that darnold doesn't is he is clutch.  If I need one more drive and 2 mins to go I'm betting on Bryce and I am far from a homer, just going off his game winning drives. He has that dog in him on the last drive.
