Her name is Alaina Getzenberg, and it sounds like she's got a pretty good resume'

I’d like to say, hello, Charlotte. My name is Alaina Getzenberg and I am thrilled to be the new Panthers beat reporter for 

The Charlotte Observer. My path to arriving in the Carolinas may be anything but traditional, but I could not be more excited to help connect you to the Panthers and to tell the stories of this team on and off the field.

Football has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a fan, I’ve covered it, I’ve been disappointed in it and enthralled at the same time.

While I’ve always loved the game, what has continuously kept me invested is the way a team can connect to a city. And how that region can be brought together by team.

I previously was with The Dallas Morning News sports department. Prior to that I was with CBS Sports, where I worked on the television side of producing coverage of the NFL, including Super Bowl LIII. I covered the St. Louis Cardinals for a season for MLB.com. I also have made stops with the Washington Redskins and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review sports department. Eclectic, right?

I even covered Jared Goff in his final collegiate season when I attended UC-Berkeley. I’ve seen the NFL from a variety of perspectives and plan to use that experience to help deliver unique coverage of the Panthers to you.

I couldn’t be happier to be joining Brendan Marks and columnist Scott Fowler in covering this team for the Observer. I may be new to the Carolinas, but I’m eager to get going and work with this group to bring you the best coverage possible from dissecting this season’s impressive defense to the quarterback ... um, controversy(?).

The Panthers are so important to this region and I want to bring the stories of this team to you. Hopefully we help you feel more connected to this team. Let’s get going.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
