Not a whole lot coming out on Twitter this a.m.  - here's what I've seen so far:

A lot of the tweets are focused on the latest Make-A-Wish visitor to the Panthers:

What's up with Bene & the bubble wrap?

More to follow....

Jeremy is having some fun last week and this week stirring the Bersin pot...  but it does sound like Sunshine is geared up and making some plays....:

At this point, it's exciting to have any / all WRs balling out.... just means that much better competition and focus.

Looks like McClain is going to have to really stink it up at training camp to not make the squad.

Agree he's got an edge due to experience.  But do remember Bene is not out there in team drills as he is still recovering from injury.

Man. I love and hate that we have so many good WRs. I mean all of them have good stories and stuff to prove, and yet we can only keep 5-6. Nevertheless, it's amazing to think last year we had one of the weakest WR corps, according to the media, and this year we might have one of the deepest and strong corps in the league, with those who didn't make it starting for other teams.

 

That's a good problem to have.

Caught the tail end of Ron's post-practice comments via Periscope on Twitter.   Sounds like he's pleased with the development of the CBs.   One of the reporters asked a great question about the fact that we have WRs of all different types - small/fast, big / physical..., and Ron acknowledged that having such a big diverse group of WRs was helpful to the cahners' development.  (I believe it was here on the Huddle I first saw someone suggest exactly this about why we have 14 WRs going into camp this year.  Need a lot of WRs of different types for the rookie CBs to practice against...)

      Trevin Wallace - PFF Breakout Nominee

      You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.

      Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.
