What’s been lost this preseason in the emergence of Samuel and Moore is our ole faithful Olsen.  Man if he can ball like this for 16 games we will have weapons galore.  

 

Good stuff.

Who threw that ball?

It's seems like getting a solid season from Olsen is almost gravy at this point.  And that's not a knock on him.

Just the fact that the roster has been filled out with a lot more capable weapons during the last couple of seasons where he has missed so much time.  The receiving corp is remarkable better than pre-2017, the TE group is more well-rounded (although I think Dickson was a better TE2 than a lot of people wanted to give him credit for), and CMC is the most dynamic RB we have ever had.

Olsen has repeatedly stated that he expects to play well provided he can stay healthy.  And the issue with his foot was certainly not an issue of his own conditioning, just bad luck unfortunately.

I don't think Olsen is going to be a 1K receiver at this point (although I'm not going to completely rule it out), but that in and of itself is a better thing for the team overall.

I am however excited about the potential and incorporation of 2 TE sets with Olsen & Thomas.

A 12 offensive formation with Olsen/Thomas/CMC/Samuel/Moore is exciting to think about.  That grouping can beat a defense on every level of the field.

What's interesting is that so many of us were saying that about Curtis last season, coming off his bad ankle injury. I certainly didn't count on Cutis to contribute a whole lot and then was so thrilled when he did.  I hope we'll have the same pleasant surprise with Olsen this year!

I think Hogan may be the most overlooked pass catcher of the pre season myself.

Probably to most defenses too worrying about CMC, Samuel, DJ, Greg, being the 5th option means you have a lot less coverage coming your way.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
