reading all this about our back 7 is getting me excited for the season.  So glad to hear Worley making plays.

 

I never understood why so many were calling him junk?  He's a mid round rookie that had to start right away and held his own the back half of the year.

He is going to be markedly better along with JB.  We got some horses on the outside now.  It's gonna be fun.

Some fans don't seem to understand the concept of player development. If a rookie doesn't set the league on fire in year one, they automatically consider them garbage. In fact, it takes most players a full 3 years to really get it all together.

Honestly, there's only been a handful of posters who remain seriously down on Worley.

The truth of the matter is that he started out last year looking like the hottest trash imaginable, but he steadily improved over the course of the season and managed to play some decent football by the end of the year. The arrow is definitely pointing up, but there seems to be a lot of revisionist history by some on how Worley is viewed.

Not only that but I play in a fantasy football league that has individual defensive players as well and he was a downright monster for me pretty much from the middle of the season on. I'm too lazy to look it up but I'm pretty sure he finished top 7ish in points overall in cornerbacks.

 

As teams went away from Bradberry and targeted Worley more, he stepped up and made the play way more often than not. If Mike Adams is as advertised I firmly believe our back 7 may be the best we've ever had this upcoming season. If we find a pass rush we're gonna be dangerous as we're making our Super Bowl push.

I was mostly referring to the well known Worley hater @nctarheel0619 who refuses to even acknowledge that Worley has any potential whatsoever and we should do what ever we can to replace him ASAP.

I'll leave that can of worms closed but that doesn't excuse anybody to pick on a rookie. Rookies tend to look like garbage (ex. L. Collins for New York). Cornerback is one of the hardest positions to learn and adjust to at the next level. You were one of the many posters trashing him instead of encouraging him. 

Do you remember his scouting report? High potential was written all over it. Great tackler, above average in 50/50 balls, very instinctive, solid in zone, etc. Those kind of CBs thrive in our system. 

Yep, we're not going down that road again. Multiple times I've provided you with a link to a search result giving you literally every post I've ever made on Worley, yet you stick with your same viewpoint on the matter. Just gotta laugh it off at this point.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
