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.

      Daniel Jeremiah mocks KC Concepcion to the #Panthers 👏👏👏

      By Basbear · Posted

      The truth is @CarolinaLivin posted it and I took notice at the names and drove into the rabbit hole, just happen it lead to Plebbit. One of my favorite draft gurus loves KC, just that he's around other panther WRs that have struggled..I mean Im about the only XL supporter leftd. Im like 50/50, but honestly haven't done enough to feel strong either. The drop and zone stuff is not what I like the weakness to be, but he is explosive, play all 3 WR spots, and does have playmaking skills which is rare. Right now I wouldn't be upset if panthers used the 51st. Months ago I told the huddle to prepare for a early WR selection.

      Is Chubba on the Trading Block?

      I appreciate the optimism but there's no way in hell anyone is going to give us a 2nd or a 3rd. We'd legitimately be lucky to get a 5th. Logically it really makes no sense to move him this season anyways. We do know he is a high character guy and should be extra motivated to bounce back from last season. See how it goes and revisit next year.

      First Round Poll: Position Drafted

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I would add that it is probably likely that you need a T during the season--I am wildly speculating that they like something about Forsythe.  However, that is not enough.  We need 4 players who can play OT in the NFL---we have 3. That suggests that we are going to add an OT at some point.  Perhaps related, but probably a pure depth move: Brady Christensen is an interesting situation. He is likely to miss the first 2 months of the 2026 season, and he will be 30.  He can play all OL positions.  That would give depth when it is usually most needed--the last half of the season.  With his injury, I doubt his phone is ringing much.  I think I would offer a 2-year deal (1.5 if you want to be realistic) for the vet minimum.
