"That is all for this week. Next week mini camp begins. Those are the first mandatory practices of the year. "

 

Will KK be there?

If Byrd gets by one defender, he is gone. I think he is faster than Ginn at this point. 

That's like saying he's faster than the speed if sound.

Worley getting first team reps and Marlowe in a lot as well--I like this. They're two secondary guys I'm keeping an eye on this year.

The kid is a monster. 

 

Holy moly. I can't wait to see this kid in pads. I liked Edwards a lot, but it looks like Butler is the future, for sure.

Butler looks insanely explosive and agile.

So, I just got a chance to watch the short video Bill Voth posted from yesterday.  WOW.  Just incredible how fast Butler moves.  I mean that is scary.   To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if seeing Butler has influenced KK in wanting to push hard now for a contract, because, the more time he gives DG and our coaches the chance to see Butler, the more worried he's going to have to be about Butler threatening his job!  

The combination of KK & Butler together on our line in a NASCAR package.... that has got to be a truly terrifying prospect to Olines and opposing QBs everywhere.

I've now watched Ron's post-practice comments from yesterday:

I laughed out loud when Ron was asked, given his recent TV appearance, and Cam's series on NIck, "who's a better actor, him or Cam?"  Too funny.   For the record, Ron thinks he's better than Cam...

Ah the offseason...!

Totally. It's a marvel to see such a large human move so incredibly fast.  In that clip he looks like a legit freak of nature that was built in a laboratory.  He and KK together would be monstrous and honestly gives me chills just thinking about it.

That's also a great point about Butler pushing KK.  What he's seeing is a younger and (at this point) hungrier version of himself.  I hope it puts a fire under both of their asses.

KK Short should not be worried about Butler pushing him out of a job. If Short isn't handsomely paid by the Panthers, he will be paid by another team.

Yes, I will be there all three days. It is a mini camp for me to, trying new things for the real camp in July.

You're just going to drop it like that?  I mean...you know...details man, details.
