Panthers Training Camp Thoughts and Musings - Monday Edition

One thing we know about the OL--somebody who is drawing a pretty decent check is going to sit or get cut. 
LT:  What do we have, 6 people who could land the gig? (Moton, Christensen, Erving, Scott, Little, Daley)

Darnold may have some trauma he is fighting through--more than his California surfer dude approach is letting on.

TE is more important than we realize... I like our TEs right now--potentially speaking.

A few padded practices will sort out the OL.  It's hard to get a read on the offense until they sort out the missed routes and miss timed throws. It will take a while for it all to start clicking on the offense.

It may be that Darnold is one of those Rhule is targetting with that ass-chewing. If Zod is calling him out for holding onto the ball too long, you know the coaches have seen it and discussed it at length among their meetings.

This was a reclamation project at QB. It's going to take more than a spot of paint and some landscaping to make him viable again. Hope Rhule can get Darnold repaired before September.

How do you weigh the variables?  How much of Darnold’s issues are because of good coverage?  Bad line play?  Indecision?

I am hoping he just doesn't know the playbook well enough yet and is slow on his progressions. If so, that will get itself worked out with reps.

thought today would be a padded practice, as historically it is. But apparently Matt Rhule felt differently

I think only 3 teams have had padded practice. Saw that 29 are scheduled to tomorrow.  Definitely something to do with CBA, not just Rhule.

I would think it’s some what expected with a young QB in a new offense. Hell Brady looked rough early in Tampa (relatively speaking). He started off with a QBR of 40.3 against the Saints in week 1, 44 against us in Week 2.

I'm surprised to see Erving starting at LT, thought they'd roll with Trent Scott. Bet he gets some looks with the 1st team at LT very soon.

Scott did pretty good last year in the 4 games he started at LT, 2 of them we won.

Scott started in the Bucs, Lions, Packers and WFT games.  Bucs and WFT have nasty fronts too.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
