Hard to point out individual players without looking the game over again but general impressions I had:

O-line: For the most part, the multiple units gave our QB's the time to throw. I was hoping for a little more with run blocking but considering our opponent, can't complain that much. I hope this was not a one-off.

Receivers/Tight Ends: Byrd is the clear winner here. 

D-line: Didn't really get to see the first unit but I heard they did well. What I did watch was sometimes good but I had flashbacks of the season opener against Denver when we had trouble stopping the run. A possibly major injury to Butler adds more concern if our depth is tested any further.

Special Teams: Didn't see Gano missing a field goal. That and the penalty on one return in the 4th quarter were the only blemishes I remember. Otherwise, they looked competent which is actually a complement.

Final note: The interception in the two minute drive was all Webb. Too bad because the entire sequence was going well, even the timeout usage.

Up: Byrd, fiesty speedster would definitely help us.

 

Down: Colin Jones, sick of us keeping slow/bad players bc "they're good guys". Holy poo he's slow.

Jones is one of the fastest guys on the team.

He may suck, but he's not slow.

I thought Cash looked bad out there tonight. He stood out several times and not in a good way. McCray played hard. The kid isn't afraid to hit somebody. Wilks will like that about him. He may not make the roster, but I'd bet on him for the PS. Kalil was very solid. Hell, the entire first team OL looked very solid.

I thought Cash did some good things, outside of the offsides penalty. He got pressure on the qb like two or three times with his blitzes, and he had four tackles and half a sack. He seemed a little anxious though (he likely would've had a second sack, but he lunged too early), and he needs to work on his feet/lateral movement so he doesn't get beat in coverage, but he did some good things.

I was pretty darn pleased with what we saw out of our first string on both sides of the ball. The D wasn't pretty once the starters went to the sidelines. Byrd looked very promising. Other than the errant throw that led to the INT, Webb looked really damn good.

Yeah an even that int may have been partially caused by a miscommunication rather than a bad choice/throw.

Stock Up: O-line, Benjamin, Byrd, Entire 1st team Defense, Harrison Butker

Stock Down: Gano - Not only did he miss his long fg, but the one he made was veering left as well. Meanwhile, Butker hit that 51 yarder straight as can be. It looked beautiful. I'm ready to cut Gano right now.

Agreed but just not ready to go into season with a rookie kicker....but assuredly gano looked shaky and the rook nailed his kick

If someone is going to be missing fg's for us I'd rather it be a rookie on a cheap 7th round deal rather than one of the highest paid kickers in the league.

Yeah, I was really disappointed in Cash last night. He actually looked better as a rookie.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
