Coach Simmons has done a great job with the secondary.  I was totally impressed.

Horn:  We have a #1 CB--a lockdown for the first time maybe ever.  Still, loving his swag so far.  We have an alpha male at CB now (see Sherman, Richard--only a better athlete)

Jackson:  Playing so much better (so far) than last year.

Hartsfield:  From undrafted free agent to a solid nickel.  Good athlete and we are tapping into his athleticism at the nickel spot.  I am pulling for this guy.

Thomas-Oliver III: Perhaps the most improved player on the team from last year (if you do not count Hartsfield).  I have been very impressed.

Taylor:  I watched some Washington tape--blah.  They have him giving less cushion and planting and meeting the WR when the ball arrives.  He has been solid and is going to be a player.

Chandler:  Has been balling. Seems to understand the game.

Robinson:  A nose for the ball.  Reminds me of a Safety version of Josh Norman.  Hard headed as a rookie, in the dog house, but when the light comes on, it will shine brightly.

Chinn: May be much better at S than I thought.  Man he is all over the field.

Burris, Franklin, Bouye, Melvin-I did not see much from them, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

This group is the most improved unit on the team from last year.  Hats off to the coaches.

Considering how bad our secondary was just a year ago this is quite impressive.

I really think Taylor is going to be another steal from this draft.

They are definitely much better.  The quality of the depth is going to be tested early on.  If they get a few injuries in the group it might start to resemble last years.  But I'm hopeful going forward.  Just have to avoid injuries and gain much needed experience.

MHS you finally seen the light on Hartsfield? I told you in most of your 53 rosters to include him. The staff loves him, he started over Corn towards the late part of the season, and all he does is make plays! Hes a dog and I heard no matter what is asked, Harts will step up. They even played him some at RB last year, hes also got everything you want for numbers in a DB. Rhule even said he was the best RB hes ever scouted in college. He plays ST with same energy as well. 

He was part of the reason Ive been saying for months- Safety spot is just fine, dont worry. 99% huddle didnt agree. Im mad about Krob getting hurt, cause I thought he turned the corner, still hope hes able to play this season. My guy Sam Franklin is an TD clone. Burris is better than huddle thinks, hes like Chinn in that hes always around the ball. Chandler would be fine as the #4, sucks he in a numbers deal....but maybe fit for PS. Safety is GOOOOD, maybe peeps will start trusting them like I have since Feb. 

CBs have maybe the most talent in panther history, them just got to jell and build up the rep to match the talent. Horn will have to get though some rookie pains, I HOPE FANS WILL TAKE IT EASY ON HIM.......I HOPE. Djack ego is starting to match his play. Bouye is a good vet for this group and still has the skills. I like Taylor, just hes a rookie. STO is fine #5, no issues with spot duties this year. 

LB and OL have had all my attention. Backup DL is now a new deal for me, Jones and Brown MUST STAY healthy or LBs will get exposed BADLY... QB is another deal, Sam is a rookie in my eyes...as a favor to him and my health.....ted talk over....

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
