He got better as the game went on.  My concern for him this year is his play strength.  Early in the first qtr he got shoved back into the qb.  That will come over time but maybe not this year.  Overall he wasn’t that bad.  

But look at it this way.   He ain’t Speedbump McGee.  And for that I am thankful.

He is going to be fine in time.  Blitzing him and Daley during the first preseason game is a dick move by the Bears---OK, you fooled a couple rookies--hope the DC got a contract extension.

I was happy to see how vanilla we were on D.

He reminds me a bit of current Saints LT Armstead and how terrible he looked in his rookie year. Hopefully Little can turn out as well as Armstead has since then...

Same thing with Matthews in Atlanta, looked totally over matched as a rookie and was really good his second year. Especially considering he is from an NFL family that shows how hard it is.

Honestly, and this is in the same vein of "Rivera Iced Kicker to Help Bears Evaluate Him" or whatever....I prefer preseason Ds throw as much at him as possible.  I want him to see those blitz plays.  I want that experience in a game time situation where there is no actual pressure.

I'm no expert but he had a couple bad pressures but otherwise held up fine.

Not bad at all for your first NFL experience ever. 

We knew Little had the measurables to be an NFL tackle. Now it's up to him to correct what he needs to improve on.

Further, I don't see any reason Little shouldn't get the vast majority of snaps this preseason. Experience for him and rest for Darryl 

Has Darryl ever played LT before?  Shouldn't he get some reps in a real game just to see if we need to switch moton over to LT again before the season starts?

I'm sure hell play third preseason first half with the rest of the starters

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
