Observations from camp today...

- Ian Thomas continues to look like a legit NFL tight end. He has to work on finishing plays still, but man is there potential. He almost caught a nice TD at the end of practice but had it pushed out of his hands by Donte Jackson.

- DJ Moore got dinged up a bit today on a play, at which point I nearly passed out. Please no more of that stuff.

- Cam Newton gave a long motivational speech before practice. HE said he could decide to wake up and be Captain Munnerlyn, or he could wake up and decide to be outstanding. LOL

- I'd really like to see Tyler Larsen get work at starting left guard, but Amini still pretty much has that position entrenched.

- Cam and CMC are talking more now between plays than they used to. Getting that chemistry going even more I reckon.

- Byrd still is hot and cold. Had a pretty bad drop today in team drills. I don't think his roster spot is a sure thing but it is probably likely.

- Luke made a beautiful move on the ball today and deflected it away from Greg Olsen. The NFL refs in attendance called defensive holding, at which point Luke gave him an earful. Mid season form already.

- There were about 6 people lined up with Peppers jerseys on the fence wanting them signed, Pep smiled and walked by. I explained to the folks he is probably the most shy person on the squad. Don't take it personal.

- The secondary is still giving the passing game all it can take at this point. I am starting to think Donte Jackson wins that second CB role. He is improving at a good clip.

- I am seeing more two tight end sets than in recent memory.

- CMC continues to show his running is evolving. Much left shifty dancing, much more hit the hole fast and run like hell.

Amini has photos of Rivera--I dont see how you get better by getting worse at any position. 

Bradberry seems to be better--the new scheme and less blitzing will help.  Jackson is playing like a guy who expects a starting role.

Jackson / Bradberry / Seymour /  Elder / Doss / Munnerlyn  / Gunter--I like group.

 

QUESTION:  HAS HALL DONE ANYTHING AT ALL?

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
