Thanks for this. I recorded the game while I was at work and for some reason it went to Troy aikmen a football life and I want to vomit

Fock dude, that sucks.  Pretty good first half to be honest, I'm sorry.

 

How you been?

He obviously wants to break one big. Its interesting to see them running him between the tackles, which he's "not supposed to be good at." Pretty strong first showing. It takes time to build that chemistry with the o-line blocking as well.

But I also like that Christian took what was in front of him...bouncing everything for positive yardage. The big plays will come, but alot of rookies see nothing there, and try to make a big play instead of taking the positive yards. Impressive first start.

Panthers giving DCs something to think about. Can't wait till a foolish DC stacks the box and McCaffrey moves to the outside

He's bigger than the highest paid RB in the league so I'm not sure what this size argument is attributed to. Personally, I believe that CMC needs to out touch Stewart this season. I'm fine with Stew taking short yard carries but between the 20's, CMC will help this team a lot.

Find ways to use Stew and CMC in the backfield at the same time and you will have a winner.

Shula is doing the right thing here. I hope he gets some great up the middle runs in during the preseason to give DC's something to think about. To be most effective in other areas, he needs to be a big threat as a traditional rb.

He will be running between the tackles during the regular season too. He's just as good at that as he his in space, IMO. A couple of those runs would have been either losses or no gain for a lot of RB's but CMC found a way to squeak out a couple of yards anyway.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      By TD alt · Posted

      Brian Baldinger on NFL Network (per Tim Weaver on Panthers Wire): "I feel like they're building a monster on that side of the ball right now and I think that's how they have to play," Baldinger stated. "They have to play like they can shut teams down this year. I think it's on them to really guide this team right now." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/05/22/panthers-nfl-offseason-defense-brian-baldinger/90215555007/   So, do you believe him? Today, May 25, I do believe Baldy without any evidence otherwise. I think it's much more likely for our defense to take another marked leap (right into the top 10) than our, basically, bottom-third offense. In my mind, Lee Hunter is a literal and figurative huge addition up front, and right behind him is perhaps our biggest exclamation point on defense: Devin Lloyd. Lloyd's experience and track record of solid production should be the anchor of our defense that should help lift the floor of the entire unit. No more getting gashed on runs, eh? But, as important as Lloyd will be, the most prolific addition to the defense could be Jaelen Phillips.  In my opinion, whether or not the Panthers can demonstrably show that the defensive squad, and perhaps the team in general, is actually ready to assert itself as a perennial postseason presence lies within its ability to credibly rush passers. Phillips was paid handsomely to produce results. Now I know that most of you are probably thinking that sacks are the key. Moreover, I'm not one that is even going to tell you that his pressures are the key (you know, since Phillips's pressure rate has been highlighted over perhaps pedestrian sack numbers). The key, at least in my mind, will be the marked growth of Nic Scourton and/or Princely Umanmielen. I really do believe that they are the understated X factors that the "success" of our season may depend upon.  I'm not worried about the interior (perhaps over-optimistically so). I'm also not too concerned with our corners, as they are quietly one of the best duos in the league. Sure, the safety position has more question marks, Trevon Moering is an exclamation point, and Nick Scott, though less of an exclamation point, still has plenty of experience. With the infusion of youth, size, length and energy, I can see a good mix that will result in positives from the DBs once Ejiro Evero figures everything out. And, we should all know, a credible pass rush provides the defensive backfield with opportunities to shine, and this is but another reason why I believe that Scourton and maybe Umanmielen will be key to taking up residence in the postseason. On an off note, and as a reminder, if the defense is doing its job effectively maintaining momentum with field position, if not outright laying down the pathway with short fields and such, this should make it easier for Bryce Young and the offense to effect points on the board in terms of TDs. Where the defense goes, the offense will have every opportunity to follow.
