I didn't stutter. I know "it" when I see it. He's too good of a football player and underappreciated route runner with sticky hands.

I agree with you since we have the coaches and GM we have. But if Hurney and Ron were still here, would you still say 100%? Lol! Ron would sit him behind a vet receiver so he could learn behind a guy who couldn’t teach his new puppy to chew a dog toy.....

Yeah, you can't publicly throw that much shade at a guy and NOT part ways with him. They were DONE with Teddy after he threw Brady under the bus blaming a late play call for him missing a wide open DJ in the endzone. There was a very distinct shift in the tone and message regarding Teddy from Rhule and company after that one and honestly it's tough to blame them for it. You dialed up a play that got a WR wide ass open for an easy TD, your QB airmailed it, then somehow still tried to blame you for it? Ouch.

True.  Teddy's play also fell off a cliff for the rest of the season.  That saints game was painful too.

Thanks for the write up. Keep it up!

I agree about Thomas. We're all hoping for an Olsen 2.0 but, heck, I'd even relish a Jenkins or Walls clone. Thomas ain't it. For a 4th year player to garner praise from the head coach about having a good offseason this early in the offseason ...... man, I'd start packing.

 

Okay. Sorry. Jenkins isn't the TE I was thinking of. It was Kris Mangum.  I couldn't edit my own post to correct it. 🤷‍♂️

I have really missed these write ups.  

Thanks for the comments and the pix.  Love what we're hearing about Horn, Shi and Tremble.  Cautiously optimistic about Sam.

Pretty sure I didn't know we had a guy named Sam Chandler on our roster.  It seems every recent write up by every beat reporter there's some guy where it's like "who's that? I've never heard of him, swear I've never seen that name before..."

Gone are the days when I could recite our full 90 man roster in my sleep.  I've got a lot of work to do to learn about these guys.  But thankfully I should be able to do some of that work by watching them in person at training camp!   Less than 1 month until I'm wheels up and on a plane to head Stateside for a 6 month home leave.  Very ready for a break!

It makes me angry that the Panthers' media team doesn't put a caption under each picture when showing photos from workouts. I looked at a few Patriots' photos last year because I knew looking at Cam in their garb would remind me of old Madden Franchises. There would be Peyton Manning playing for KC, Vince Young for NYG, and Sean Alexander playing for the Texans. Anyways, they would have the caption telling who was who under each photo and from two practice sessions I knew their roster better than ours. I would have to go back and forth between roster list and pictures when looking at Panthers' practice photos. Media team got to step it up.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
