Horn spent A LOT of the Saints game as the Nickel defender, Henderson has tape there as well from JAX. 

Donte' lined up inside, and outside at LSU, and even played off the LOS as a safety at times. 

I'm not to worried about scheme fits, these guys are all versatile, and TOP tier athletes at the position. 

Fine by me. I want em all.

Of course you can.

Schematically it doesn’t work out that well. All 3 of our guys excel on the outside.

I thought Horn played pretty well in the slot, given he is a rookie.  Heck, even for an older player I thought he was pretty good in there.  Thing is, man corners tend to be fine playing in the slot.  They are accustomed to shadowing their guy.

When you take a zone corner inside, you're asking him to chase a guy, not play a zone.  Thus, those types of corners tend to be the ones you go "he's an outside corner".  Jaycee, CJ . . . they are man corners.  They'll be fine.  I'm even optimistic that Donte can come around to it.

Good man corners can play inside.

Totally not based on anything, and ian thomas has played ok so far but if this is true and they were talking about a deal in training camp I wonder if thats why Rhule was talking Thomas up so much.  I feel like maybe he was the te they were wanting to move in the deal and maybe he was trying to increase his value a little with some hype.

I could see this.

But Arnold also had good training camp reports coming out almost everyday as well.

I think Tremble is coming along quicker than expected and allowed us to move a piece that hasn’t had much of an impact yet.

      Our Next QB: The Qualifiers

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, sure, he has made a mess of the football situation with his hires.   I'm just saying, he is often overused to take the blame of others who ALSO are bad at their jobs.    We see that often.  Not just with Tepper.  I mean, how many people did we scapegoat and try to give all the blame to before we admitted Matt Rhule was bad at his job.  Same for Fitterer.  Tepper's other pro team has gone to the postseason in back to back years now.  Think they set a MLS record this year too.  And they have barely existed.   Tepper is not crafting the roster and shaping the team.  Others do that for him.   The QB room is the way it is because of the big picture hires of David Tepper.  But on a practical football level discussion about why we suck at the QB spot and going forward, we got to talk about Dan Morgan.  He is the dude doing the bad job there.  I'm not trying to deflect any blame from Tepper.  I just can't stand how Dan Morgan gets the pass he gets from some and the narrative......Tepper is calling the QB room, and this weird Morgan mantra that he somehow is silently against everything he part of building (not saying that is you but it exists here)  I think with a good staff and QB,  no one would care about David Tepper.  I think Tepper has now limited his ability to get the good staff in the front office and sidelines.   In hindsight, the Matt Rhule hire.....might go down as the biggest error in Panther history.  Because it's all a snowball from that bad hire.
