They must think that Cockrell isn't going to come back. He is still working on it, but making progress.

I would say that once he gets that belief in his surgically-repaired leg, he's probably a shoe-in (unless he just can't get right physically).

Absolutely... I just hope his recovery doesn't go the Bene route. If he heals 100% ... I honestly think he's starter material. On the boundary that is. 

This is the first year that every position should be an upgrade in some form. Minus a couple of spots. And possibly the fastest we've been on defense in years. My expectations are close to that of the 2013 Panthers D (that year I liked watching the Offense play but I LOVED everytime the D took the field).  I think that's the year..whatever year we had prime CJ-Star-KK-Hardy.

Question: Why is Corn still being considered an actual option to start? Dude is still garbage and is probably still trying to turn his head around for the ball. I'm not sold on him at all.

He did have this bad ass one handed interception during OTAs last week

Captain Munnerlyn was a beast in the offseason too but you see where he is now. IDK, I guess his poor showing in limited snaps killed whatever hopes I had for him. Hopefully I'm eating crow come mid-season and he does prove to be THAT nickel corner we've been looking for.

I have never ever thought that Captain Munnerlyn was a beast at any point lol

I hope not.

I don't think Elder is a lock by any means to make the team. Javien Elliott was just signed and he primarily played in the slot in Tampa.

Bradberry, Cockrell, and Jackson are all locks, and I think Seymour has got a leg up for the 4th CB spot.

We usually only keep 5 CBs so there is only one more spot.

Cockrell and Jackson can both play the slot. Seymour is depth at the outside spots, and one of Elder/Elliott will probably end up as the 5th CB and backup nickel.

Gaulden can also play the nickel so we should hopefully be covered.

At least at CB, it's looking pretty good barring injuries. 

Safety looks like the only position left on defense with question marks

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
