Man, he really looks the part.  Great size for a CB.  Love the mentality too.  He should be a pro bowler early 

That’s what really stood out to me. He looks huge. We haven’t had a corner that big since Chris Gamble. He’s going to a QB’s nightmare once he gets some seasoning on him.

I'm really optimistic for this defense. I'm not sure how good we'll be this season, but I think we will be pretty good. But we have a window coming up to be a truly exceptional defense imho.

I think we’re an MLB and FS away from being an elite defense.

Well he wasn't exactly going against Montana and Rice out there, but I like the positivity.

Yeah, I mean Haskins couldn’t complete a pass on us hardly last year in the regular season.   He had like 2 INTs and a little over a hundred yards with all his WRs. 
 

Horn looks good.  But we have seen almost nothing from him yet.

The thing I like most about Horn is the video he put up on his YT account (I don't follow it, it was just linked somewhere) where he went to train with Xavier Howard and co. I think in Miami.

Anyway, he picked up their coaching tips instantly. That, coupled with his freaky length and athleticism, is incredibly exciting.

I don't think many people will be moaning about not taking Player X with that pick in a few years time. He's that good.

We were average in pass defense last year, it really wasn’t too much of an issue. Though interceptions certainly were.

We have good pass rush too, get to the QB quite a bit, but have trouble closing the deal. Which isn’t the worst. I call it up to experience.

Both those things will no doubt be improved.

Run defense…was atrocious. It was the reason teams got all those third down conversions. The chance was in their favor to get a first if they just ran in 3 times according to the average..4.7, third worst in the league.

When the opposing team knows this, and the fact you aren’t intercepting it, they’ll eat you alive with short passes and running it. And that’s what happened.

And it still appears we struggle against the run game. Fix that, and this is a legit defense without a doubt.

Being able to take other people's techniques and skills and molding it into your own is a skill a lot of people overlook. It's that willingness to continue learning is why Horn is going to be elite.

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      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.
