Also, Hurns is actually a dang good receiver. With a good QB, he'd be picking up big numbers.

We play in a division with Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Desean Jackson, etc. If he can't guard against a Henne/Hurns connection, I can't even imagine him guarding said players. Hopefully he steps it up in the regular season.

I'm willing to bet there's some rust as well.  It's still preseason.  Worley and Bradberry got better as the season went on.  With Bradberry already in form, we can hope it doesn't take until week 8 for Worley like it did last year.  I'm still optimistic though.

And the fact there's zero game planning for these games.  It's difficult to say as an observer what should've happened not knowing their assignments.

Complaining about a 2nd year corner who has made huge improvements in his game before week 1 of his second season. Some people live to be the i told you so's instead of letting things play out reasonably.

I've been up and down on Worley, but he definitely stood out last night on a few plays and not in a good way.

While we might see Bradberry break out this season, I expect we might need another season for Worley to get it all together.

He was never out of position. His technique needed a bit refinement in staying with his man, but hip flexibility has been an issue since last year. 

On that one big play, Worley didn't drop his hips enough and turn, leading to that wide open reception. He had some nice run plays and covered okay, but I would say it wasn't his best game by any stretch.

Hope that fixes by season start.

That big play was a great throw and catch too.

He will get better or get benched. It's not like teams are going to test Bradberry. 

He will get benched, and teams are going to test Bradberry often. Julio Jones v Bradberry is not a match up Bradberry can handle. The CBs are the weak link to this team and are likely going to cost the Panthers in the 4th quarter if the Panthers offense can not jump ahead by a few scores. Bradberry is outmatched against every NFC South team.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.

      Haha!!! That's true. Also carry Tomahawks, ballistic missiles, fighter jets, VSTOL aircraft, etc., but none of them clog up the crappers.
