Hopefully Shi jumps Saunders. Another one of those random Rhule fascinations. Higgins also should be in the top 4 or 5

So I’m probably one of the few people that like Saunders. He’s slower but runs pretty good routes, he’s just not as athletic as some of the other slower wide receivers out there (Jarvis Landry).

However, he’s a PS squad player this year imo. Moore, Anderson, Marshall, Higgins, and Zylstra are locks for me. Roberts and Smith would be my bubble guys.

Ickey going through some drills, probably want to force the DE up field a little more but his footwork looks pretty solid for a young LT.

He's going against Austin Larkin here I think, who from what I remember isn't necessarily all that powerful but is lighter and faster (he'll need to practice against that body type as well as against bigger guys).

What I like here is that one, Larkin doesn't outrun him and two, his initial square up was off a little but he successfully made up for it.

True but unfortunately it’s near impossible to check down from your 20 yard line all the way to the opposing teams end zone.

Start Mayfield in between the 20’s and let Darnold take over in the red zone lol?

You laugh now, but you remember who coaches this team, right? 😕

You are correct, I was going to come back to this post and say the same thing. Larkin has no power but is one of our faster DE’s. I like that Ickey’s foot work was smooth throughout the entire rep even against a faster DE.

Also, as they come around you can see that Ickey has that right arm tucked in. A lot of young T’s would have moved that right arm toward the shoulder which would probably draw a flag for holding.

Yeah that's what i'm rolling with too. Shi needs to figure out his special teams role to get an active spot

If he has a good preseason returning kicks/punts then he’s locked down a spot, I would think. At the end of the day Andre Roberts is 34, you don’t cut a guy who is showing promise (Smith) for a 34 year old special teams player. Roberts is good but he’s not Devin Hester, I’d lean more towards keeping Smith for the future.

    • I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes. 
    • Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.  
    • Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
