I will gladly eat crow if it happens. Liking what I'm hearing from him at camp so far.

By the same token, if he isn't the second coming of Deion Sanders in his rookie year, people shouldn't panic.

Defensive back is not one of the easier positions when it comes to the college to pro transition.

I haven't noticed anything nearly like CMC last year. He has looked like a fast cb, nothing spectacular.

To me, the difference between Jackson and other CB's isn't only in his speed, but how he makes up his size disadvantage with his physicality at the point of contact with the ball. If Tillman would come around to meld the punch with Jackson's play, he could be a top tier player. With his speed, he will likely be much closer to the point where the ball meets the receiver more often than others meaning with some tenacious play, he could be in for a nice rookie year.

Huddle: "Wow, Jackson is having a really good camp overall."

 

*gets burned by our first round pick stud wide receiver once or twice*

 

Huddle: "HE'S A fuging BUM! STOP BEING OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUR ROOKIE CB! WE ARE ALL DOOMED! HE'LL BE OUT OF THE LEAGUE BEFORE PRE-SEASON AT THIS RATE!"

Pretty much this. Due to the woeful state of our secondary last year, I'm willing to latch onto anything positive regarding that unit right now.

that's the team spirit...go panthers!

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
