I encourage those who don’t know much about Henderson’s game to read this. It highlights his strengths and how he fits in with the Panthers scheme. 

Like I’ve said, Snow’s scheme is dependent on having guys in the secondary that can cover. Henderson can do that.

Im so excited about this unit. If we make a playoff push is Horn expected to be available then or is he done till next year?

Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said earlier Monday that Horn was having surgery to repair the multiple broken bones and would miss extended time, but didn't rule out a return late in the year. But he said that wasn't anything they could know at the moment.

"With Jaycee we have to be really smart about bringing him back, making sure he's healthy and his return to play is done the right way," Rhule said. "I can't predict that right now.

"Knowing Jaycee Horn, his mindset will be 'I'm coming back to play.' If he's ready, he's ready, and if he's not, he's not. And we won't put him in harm's way. We'll let the doctors tell us when he's ready to go."

It really was an inspired trade, IMO.  If Horn comes back 100%, and CJ grows into his immense natural talent, we could have one of the top CB1/CB2 lineups in the entire NFL.  How many teams can say they have the 8th and 9th pick from consecutive drafts lining up together?

Its insane, right?  Hopefully they are working on extending Donte for 3 or 4 years while Horn and CJ are on their rookie deals.  That would give us 3 potentially stellar CBs for a very small overall investment.  Especially considering that Jax has already paid CJs signing bonus and all that.

I was thinking that same thing. Extending Jax for the duration of the rookie deals, even if thats a top contract would make sense. However you dont want his contract to impact resigning these guys.

I wouldn't be surprised if he's inactive.

Agreed but the main thing that would hold him back is learning the terminology and signals. There could be a lot of crossover with stuff he already knows. Schematically I don’t think we are going to really be doing anything he hasn’t done before at least as a CB.

This is the perfect scenario for him. He doesnt have to come in and lead. We have enough alpha dogs on this team. Let him be himself and be athletic. He has some serious ball skills.... in my opinion... better ball skills than Jaycee. 

Look at his tape against Jamaar Chase. His closing speed is special. Sometimes all a guy needs is change of environment. And the Panthers have always had a special locker room.

    • lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.
    • I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.  
    • As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
