Those of you wondering about Ian Thomas

Let's hope that carries over to the regular season because it's likely he'll end up #1 on the depth chart at some point in the season.

Indeed, and even if 88 stays healthy throughout this upcoming season, it's only a matter of time before he's #1 on the depth chart moving forward.

Really? How so? If Olsen is healthy, you don't take him off the field for Thomas.

I assume he meant future seasons, not necessarily this season.   Basically Thomas might be a long term replacement for Olsen.   

^ ^ Yep, he's being groomed behind Olsen, just like Shaq had been behind TD for the past several seasons.

Kid looks like a natural, am expecting him to be #1 when Olsen goes down with another injury this year. 

Oh yeah, he’s a much better blocker

I certainly hope Olsen doesn't get injured in his last season as a pro.

But, I agree with you. Thomas is a much better blocker and is more athletic after the catch. Though he made more than his share of rookie mistakes last season.

Olsen does have that vet savvy and great hands. Love #88 but not worried about the position once he moves on.

If we can just 

1. Stay healthy, especially Cam

2. And the OL can just hold up for a few seconds

 

This offense is going to be special

 

Cam having Moore, Samuel, Olsen, Thomas, and CMC out there!

    • Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own. 
    • I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan 
    • Something like 24 now. The first 6 minutes were fun, after that, oh man. It was cool tho, a near capacity, with both teams well supported.
