I really dont see how he fits.  Last year we had 4 DTs on the roster during the season,  you would have to think it will be the same this year.  Right now we have Myles Adams, Derick Brown, Woodrow Hamilton, Bruce Hector, Phil Hoskins, PJ Johnson, DaQuan Jones, Daviyon Nixon, Mike Panisiuk, Bravion Roy.  That's 10 guys going for 4 spots. Is he better than 6 of them at this point? Derick Brown, Bravion Roy, and  Daviyon Nixon are probably shoe ins, that leaves 1 spot.  Not to mention we trying to get younger.

Adams, Hamilton, and Hector been cut. I also think you missed a guy "frank Herron" whom just got cut today to sign two of the try-out players. 

I mean its Brown, Jones, Roy, and Nixon will the clear lead. Hoskins and Panisiuk for PS. But Nixon could screw up and they bring a KK/FA to fill the void. Its nice to see the FULL rebuild only take 2 years, great work panthers.

Derrick Brown and DaQuan Jones would be the starters with 2020 6th round pick Bravvion Roy and 2021 5th rounder Davyion Nixon backing them up.

It's clear signing KK would give the group excellent depth.

They only carried 3 DTs for about half the season last year. I dont know what type of front Snow wants to run. 4 is plenty, 5 is too much. Plus dont forget Fox played some DT too. Most vets want to sign before the draft, KK is seeing that now. No room with Brown, Nixon, Jones, FOx, and Roy. If two get IR'd then call KK.

Assuming he is healthy enough to play at a high level I think he can do well as a rotational player where he doesn’t get a lot of reps to wear him down. Maybe he can also bring some leadership and teach our new guys how to be better. Nixon may take some time do develop so maybe we will be a lot better with short on the team.

So do we carry 5 DTs?  If not then what do you do with Nixon?

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
