Snow said he wanted another S--we have CBs out the ass.  Is there a chance they convert this "ball hawk" to S where he is facing the LOS?

 

There must have been no S from Baylor. What a Fhule.

Another Temple/Baylor guy.  We all know that Fitt took over this year because those losers be gone and you know, you can see it in their eyes and stuff.  Glad that Reddick guy hit the bricks.    Looks like one slipped through.  This pick is Rhules, cause I liked the other picks and I don't care about this one.

Just out of curiosity, how many 7th round picks have you cared about over the years?  For me, the answer would be exactly one, and then we stupidly traded the player to Kansas City.

Sorry. I should have added the /sarc tag.

Not sure I agree on that. He’s not CMC taking handoffs. If you are trying to pinball back and forth that much, you are going to take a viscous hit. That gives the coverage team time to get to you or for any seam to close. On a return, you are trying to find and hit the open seams and get through or around them as fast as possible. Maybe one cut to make the first guy miss, more on punt returns, but on most great kick returns it’s about speed and finding the right seam. You don’t see much of any juking on kick returns and there is no first guy in your face like punt returns.

I’d think punt returns need more of the juking at the start and honestly probably require more experience to know when to field the punt, when to call fair catch and be able to go from looking up to finding an opening. Kick returns seem like a simpler learning curve that requires more speed and vision than any type of juking.

You've got a point there.But experience tells us agility may force miss tackle.We will see in training camp.

Day 1, I’m working with him on returns. No idea if he was ever considered but that straight line speed is huge in returns. He didn’t have a ton of interceptions but he showed some ball skills on the highlights. He can get his position work, but give the man some return practice as well. I’d tell him go find your K/P at Baylor and practice with them before camp. 

Kick returns perhaps.  On the punt team, seems like he might be a good candidate for gunner.

As previously mentioned, Barnes used to be a WR before converting to CB. Someone here mentioned before that sometimes that’s an indication of poor hands (not always but sometimes)… that could be a reason why he doesn’t return kicks or punts.

He was already a gunner so I’d say that it’s more likely that will be where he earns his keep and the Panthers will continue to search for kick returner/punt returner.

Why?

It was sarcasm.  The post below it  I said I should have put the /sarc tag on.    We loved Robby two years ago, we loved Reddick last year.  The derision on Temple/Baylor picks is just more Rhule hatred.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
