Panthers training camp observations

Anyone notice that Green was wearing the black jersey today as the starter opposite Donte and not Apple, who was in a white jersey?

I'm all for giving plenty of guys a look there. Apple isn't very good. Green has been a total bust in the NFL at safety, but the guy has unreal measurables. Give him a look. Nothing to lose.

Don't be shocked if everyone is wearing a black jersey at some point during camp.

I have very low hopes for our linebackers. We are going to get murdered by TE's and pass catching running backs this season

Hell, we were getting murdered by receiving TEs even when we had great coverage LBs.

So whats the deal with Okung?  He left early again today.

I honestly don't think he wants to play.  I wonder if he realizes he has to be on the roster on the date of the first game played for his salary to be guaranteed. Because it honestly feels like he's actively trying to get cut. If he gets cut in camp he won't see another dime.

Someone doesn't consider House of Pain "Jump Around" as hip hop?

So funny that someone else thought the exact same thing when they read that, ha

I joked about that earlier but now its really starting to feel like that.  If he is really out of shape as someone suggested and testing the waters of walking by using the corona excuse things may roll to a head quicker than expected.

 

My theory as of now is that he had a scare last year, enjoyed not having to bust his ass all season and realizes he is 33 and looking for a way out.

They have him on a schedule to do work in the pool inside because he has back tightness. It’s a planned thing

He knows they won’t cut him, even if they should. I truly believe he is just chasing that 13M. Make it to opening day and then claim any of the numerous reasons he’s establishing now.
