So what there are 31 other teams in the league. His spot here is probably gone, but he could try to show some sort of effort if he wants to get picked up by someone else. 

I guess he is ok with being out of the league and is happy with the money he has made already.

I doubt 31 other teams are watching our practice to see how hard Ian Thomas jogs around the track.

Zods not paying too much attention to the lines other than lineup until pads are on.  Which makes sense

Its early.  

Sure, but Daley being the best LT early isn't a good sign. No one here, nor any expert expected that.  It's definitely a cause for concern. We need everyone to get healthy and some a positive sign there.

Yeah, I found that odd, did he even play LT much last year?   Even Scott had a few starts there.

Maybe this is the best time to give the  lineman a chance to get try the motions and feel for the other line positions.  Daley at left, Moton at left. 

What better time to experiment with different people in different places?

If not now, when?

No but the Carolina coaching staff sure sees it.  And coaches are a big fraternity who are networked with each other.  So you don't want to have a reputation as a lazy guy or poor worker.   It could affect whether another team takes a chance on you or not.

I guess he sees the writing on the wall.  Its too bad, I had such high hopes his rookie year.

Or he thinks "that's a College punishment and this is the NFL" - only Rhule is going to run a tight ship so he'd best get used to it.

I'm sure he was thinking it was beneath a pro...and then he didn't handle it professionally.

Don't think Daley played much at all last year.

If I recall correctly, he was hurt for most of it.

Yeah, he started a couple at guard, I thought. I don't remember him playing tackle... ah well...too lazy to look up.

- The defense feels like far and away the more cohesive and aggressive unit. They are well ahead of the offense when it comes to swagger, and it isn't close. The offense could really use a vocal leader stepping up.

 

Ironically, I'd look for Robby in this area. 

DJ and Marshall are just quiet

Moton, CMC are more lead by example types.

Anderson would be the talker. And possibly Darnold by training camp.

To be fair, at this time of year the defense should look better than the offense. And that's even true of teams that don't have a new quarterback.

Absolutely.  Defense almost always outshines Offense in early season camps, regardless of the team.

Offense is a big dance where everyone has to learn the steps.  That group coordination takes time & practice.  Defense is far more "read & react" which favors raw athleticism.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
