Alot of people, including me, thought he had a shot at making the 53 man roster this year but was cut. I thought he had a very good preseason, and had a chance to make an impact on the team this year.

NFL.com is reporting we added him to the practice squad yesterday. I havent seen this reported anywhere else, and it isn't on the panthers website. Has anyone else seen this? Does any think he might get promoted to the 53 man roster anytime this year?

Meh if we ever hope to stop the run we'll need a 5 man front consisting of Brayton, Lewis, Harris, Marlon Favorite, and Peppers.

The 5-2 at one time was a widely used D scheme. Of course the reason it isn't used today is a good passing game will eat it for breakfast.

I thought i saw a couple downs where we actually ran a 5 man front against the boys. But that might have been Davis blitzing.

If you want 5 men on the front a more likely formation would be the 4-3 under or over where one LB lines up on the line standing up. You can either blitz him or drop him back into coverage. IMO TD would be awesome lining up at the line every snap. It lets a coach be a little more creative while still using the same base D. I would really like Fox to get creative and throw out a 3-4 look every once in awhile. If nothing else it makes others teams gameplan for one more thing.

And lets face it our D can't look much worse (although they did play a decent 1st half).

They also maybe be wrong..They said we had Jleman on the PS when he was with the eagles.

This is what I was thinking. It doesn't say we dropped anyone from the ps, and the panthers aren't reporting it on their website. No beat writer has reported it from what I see. I think they may be wrong, but I don't know. Was wondering if anyone else heard anything about it.

Did Leman play ST in the preseason. It seems that as good of a ballhawk and tackler as he was on D he would excel on ST.

yeah..he did ST..but the panthers did not get him because they felt he was not fast enough for this defense and did not have enough position versatility.

Yeah our killer ST doesn't need a guy that has a nose for the football, good tackler, and is cheap as hell.

      It's crazy with how much winning was going on when we had a little cool off period that we're still just a couple games out of 6th. Moussa is getting better every week and Coby is getting comfortable. Would be nice to get to 6 but I think this team is a lot more stacked than the last couple play ins. I can't remember the exact rules but if you're 7th seed and win the first game I think you automatically move on and don't have to play the second game?

      I think it was a thing for sure. Panthers weren’t too many people’s first choice. Or 5th choice.  2022 and 2023… coaches fired mid season. Consecutive years. You want any of that?  He has definitely overseen a rehab of how the Panthers are perceived. Because we are a place that is seen as up and coming. And just the little thing of he accommodated Theilen so graciously, that gets noticed. It all adds up. Dan is doing a lot of things right, probably most things.  Needs a good draft.

      K, I think that is dumb, but you do you. I didn't find anything online that made him out to be a dislikable person. I am certain the Panthers would have cared so much if they lost your fandom if they hired Sean Payton. But bet you would have come crawling back if Sean lead us to a Super Bowl victory or Golden leads UNC to a champion ship. It is easy to say you are gonna leave a team if the hire someone you dislike when the chips are down. But people like you tend to come crawling back once the team finds success.
