Players who stood out today.

I was a bit distracted with the kids but some guys who stood out in moments:


Hartsfield - Just a football player. Closes quickly. Thick build. Plays the ball and tackles well. I’ve always liked him. Justifies a big role this year.

Brandon Smith - man I hope he puts it all together. You see the potential. Size, speed to power. He just gets lost sometimes.

Spencer Brown - looks better than Hubbard to me. Can he catch? Sold if he can.

Cade Mays - watched him finish multiple blocks and bury dudes. 
 

And the idea of Westry is great but the reality I’ve seen enough of. 

 

Feel free to add.

Barno and Brandon Smith, almost all of our WR who are competing to make the roster (especially Shi Smith I think cemented himself) and some of the end of the roster cbs looked solid in man.  Brandon smith has so many flashes.  He is all over the field, in both the good way and the bad way (he takes himself out of position with his speed and explosiveness sometimes) but if he can find a way to harness that and be where he needs to be and not take himself out of the play sometimes then he could potentially be a big time difference maker.

 

Edited to add Ricci.  Almost forgot to add him.  I know they use him as a fb/te but dude has hands and I wonder if he can compete to get some snaps in the regular season at TE since that's something we kind of lack in that position.

Barno and Tae Hayes were outstanding. Ricci had a better game as a TE than Ian Thomas has ever posted to date. Shi Smith looked like he should have looked last preseason, let's hope he can carry it over to the real season. 

I was impressed by Hayes.  He was all over the field.  Could be a nice depth piece for us.

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
