Do we see Deonte Brown on Sunday?

Rhule might be wanting Deonte to cut even more weight before he sees the field. Deonte has the agility of a dump truck, but he's about as powerful an o-lineman as you're going to see. Deonte might not be ready mentally to start as well. He might be one of those guys we don't see taking the field until next season.

Our defense is wild and it really tests the o-linemen mentally in practice. We mug a lot and we drop lineman into coverage, or LBs, or anybody could be rushing. It's mentally taxing for a rookie to deal with that split second decision making, and that might be giving Deonte trouble, and we know it gives Christensen trouble. The rookies might need more time baking in the oven.

I doubt his conditioning is up to where it needs to be to start a full nfl season.  They may work him in around game 6 or 7 if he shows he's a starter.

And I hope fans are aware of the rookie wall which we are going to slam into at some point this season especially with 17 games.

O-line takes a while to develop. Just because Deonte and BC don't see much time this year doesn't mean they aren't going to eventually get playtime. I'm a lot more interested in seeing Deonte play than BC just because he'd such a physically imposing player. 

Moton didn't play much his rookie year IIRC. I'm okay with slower development of O-line guys as long as the staff gets a chance to see what they really have before next year's draft. Didn't Norwell & Turner get slotted in fairly late in 2014 season and we went on a tear... Would be nice for a repeat scenario!!!

One thing to keep in mind as far as O-line activations is the question of backup Center with Elflein on IR.  It's been Tecklenburg the past 2 weeks. If we plan to have him as backup again he needs to be officially added to 53 since he's reached his limit of PS elevations.

Is there anyone else on our roster who can back up Paradis ?

      CBS does not think Bryce makes the leap

      By frankw · Posted

      It would be nice to see #9 prove people like this laughably wrong. That's why many Panthers fans myself included were wanting to see how much time he'd dedicated to his craft following the conclusion of the season but then he showed up and let everyone know he pretty much crawled under a rock. Somehow the Panthers social team though this was rather amusing after what we'd sacrificed for the rights to draft him It's interesting that we go from Levis being least desirable of the class and a complete and total meathead that would alienate himself from his teammates to being talked up as possibly emerging as one of the better young QB's entering the 2024 season. Man what a whirlwind the last 12 months have been for the people who fully bought the hype machine in the lead up to the 2023 NFL draft and did victory laps like they had their very own sports almanac from BTTF. Life comes at you fast folks.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      You either need to do waaay more drugs or waaay less drugs, your current intake is not right. Sorry I can not advise on which path to take.

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He's routinely a great watch.  Good content.  I like his optimism on Chubba in our scheme, allows us to bring in Brooks at an optimal pace relative to his recovery (who we got obviously to be our new guy, could become the focal point of this offense) The two news OGs will have no issue playing our offense coming from familiar schemes, one in Hunt being league top, is going to be huge for our running game more than anything.  I also liked him maintaining some optimism with Icky.   Seeing his page and commentary on our defense really puts in perspective how much turnover we have.  It should feel like a much different team (hopefully better) especially that front-7.  Jewell is going to be better than people expect, he was super unheralded for Denver and is just a smart closer who played against the Chiefs routinely well.
