I haven't seen any mention at all of OL stuff that specifically happened today by anyone.

Other than a few brief mentions of Brady starting at LT with Ickey rotating in later I didn't see much either.

Not understanding this charade at all.  Yall had all last season to try BC at LT and you didn't want to.  But now, with a widely-regarded franchise LT on the roster, let's pretend we're gonna a play BC over him!

Only grace I'll give the staff is Campen wasn't here last year, so he may want a look at everybody, but other than that, fug all that.

I'm assuming it's just familiarity for now. Brady at least has a year of seasoning while this is Ickey's first camp. I'm not going to stress about it much prior to even the first preseason game. It's mostly an observe and then practice type of situation for Ickey so far.

It's the same garbage he did last year.  Smh...  I really wish they would quit wasting reps on him.

Yeah Kunkel thinks Sam won the day by playing safer which I think is ridiculous. Baker also has never thrown to these guys in an actual practice. The only way he's gonna get timing and chemistry down with them is to throw to them at every level, figure out each guys idiosyncrasies. If it's anything like their current careers moving forward you get the same amount of interceptions from either guy, Baker will just throw twice as many TD's as Sam in the process

Agreed. If Darnold is content practicing like a backup then just give baker the reps

I don't consider the o-line placement a big deal until they put on pads. 

Or the d-line for that matter.

Yeah same. I also don't see the point in overreacting to the QB nonsense they have going on at this point. It'll flesh out soon. It's not going to stay like this all camp. And anyone who expected Corral to be getting QB2 reps at this point considering that they still have Sam and Baker on the team is fooling themselves. It might happen, but it was never going to during the first week of camp.

I know rhule hate is pretty common now but how has there been no evaluations yet? He’s basically saying they’ve wasted two days. Laziest Coach I’ve ever seen 

Of course hes going to say that to the media.  He has no reason to say anything else.  Also I'm sure all of this is recorded and him and mcadoo are going to rewatch things a lot closer.

And mentioned looking at the tape to get the evaluation in his presser today

People really do take coach speak too literally.... It's almost like they want to us to create a media circus and show the league our hand and eliminate any competitive advantage.

no coach ever in history said, "this guys is out on the field 4 minutes ahead of the other, he gets the spot." 

that's not a reason except amongst fans following tweets from media.

Maybe not, but give me a guy who runs up the hill at the end of training camp practices and encourages his team mates to do the same. We need that guy again.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
