Asked about Christensen, Rhule says the team sees him as a right tackle at the moment.

Also mentioned Taylor Moton as "a guy who can flip flop", which makes me think they're gaining more confidence in his ability to play on the left.

Getting a musical chairs vibe with that left spot.

I'd trust Moton at LT with his lack of experience there over anyone else on the roster right now. Not sure why Okung wasn't brought back, he might want to play for this team.

My guess is Okung wasn't brought back because they need somebody they can depend on for more than just half the season.

Darnold to Arnold is going to be a thing.  I can feel it.

You're right we didn't do hail marys, we did more hail mary kicks.  

 

Thats because we have not had a QB with the arm strength to throw a proper hail mary in about 3 or 4 years.

That’s a good ‘glass half full’ way to look at it.

I'm hoping for Arnold to take over TE1 and Tremble slowly move into TE2. I'm out on Thomas, the dude just isn't it. 

Yep, me too. I loved Thomas going into the draft and thought he had a chance to develop into the best TE in that draft. After a promising rookie season, I just knew we had our future at TE in the fold. Fast forward a few years and I'm just ready to move on.

I hope Robby has a great year and cashes in big in FA. 

I would love for Robby to have a great year but if his price is two high and we feel he is not affordable, Terrance Marshall, Shi Smith,etc are waiting in the wings, just hoping to showcase their talent and cash in on a big pay day.

Sorry, I was multi-tasking while listening and not able to take notes / write a summary, but I was very impressed by Haason Reddick's press availability yesterday. 

The maturity of his comments, his perspective on the team as a seasoned NFL vet, but someone who knows Rhule from Temple days.  Really a good listen (other than the audio issues that have been affecting ALL of Panthers recent player interviews.  Be prepared for huge volume swings between question and answer!)

Jonathan Alexander's write up for the Observer from Today's minicamp practice has more detail than the other recaps I've seen so far from today:

https://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article252161728.html

a few snippets:

Albeit two of the Panthers’ best pass rushers were wearing a red jersey and did not participate in 11-on-11 drills, Darnold was accurate. He threw two touchdowns passes — one to running back Reggie Bonnafon and another to tight end Ian Thomas. Both were inside the 10-yard line on situational drills.

Darnold also threw a 40-yard Hail Mary pass to Dan Arnold, though the defense was asked to back off. Still, the catch was impressive as he was able to keep both feet in bounds in the back of the end zone.

▪ On the defensive side of the ball, rookie cornerback Keith Taylor made the biggest play.

Will Grier’s pass was tipped, allowing Taylor to come up with the interception. The Panthers took Taylor in the fifth round of the 2021 draft. Defensive coordinator Phil Snow has been complimentary of the rookie this offseason.

▪ In the situational drills, McCaffrey served as a captain for the offense, and Shaq Thompson was the captain of the defense. Both were allowed to call timeouts if needed.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
