I can imagine how nervous the centers in the NFC South are right now--bet they are going to get the helmet eye protectors installed.  I mean, you would too if you were going up against a nose tackle names penis in i (eye).  OK--back to maturity.  jokes over.

Detroit Lions DT John Penisini, 25, retires after two NFL seasons

Penisini, 25, started in 12 of his 32 career games, registering 49 tackles, four tackles for loss, a sack and a fumble recovery. Detroit selected him in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Utah.

Does this suggest that Tuttle will not play Nose tackle for the Panthers?  I mean, on the roster we have Penisini, McCall, Roy, and Tuttle slated to play 1 position (NT).  We have Brown, Anderson, and Williams slated to play the 2 DE positions.  Is it possible that the Panthers want to move Tuttle to DE and will let Penisini and McCall (Roy to PS?) handle the NT duties?  I think that is the plan-

They won’t all make the team.

I thought same thing.  I think they gonna be doing a lot of workshop variations of lineups on the the front to see what works. I'm gonna let the mad scientist Envero work and put the right guys in the right place. Honestly we piecing it together I doubt the future at NT in 3 years is on the roster right now.

The reason he is slated to play DT is because the news release from David Newton of SI said, "The 6-foot-3, 300-pound Tuttle, who according to the team website is closer to 315 pounds, likely will play nose tackle for the Panthers, who are transitioning from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme."

While it could very well be true, Tuttle is a bit smallish for a NT in a 3-4.  When this was announced, they did not have Penisini.  So even though not all players make the team, you still have to put them in the right place.  I have heard no coach say that Tuttle was a NT, only David Newton, assuming that because we had signed Williams and the weight on the Panther website was listed at 315.  I am not yet convinced that Tuttle is a NT because David Newton read the website--does he not have any more connections than that?  He goes to the website and tells us what it says?

      F’ing David Newton

      I moved to Atlanta for work, in June 1995. Almost the same for a Panthers fan.  This was pre internet at least for me, and there was no coverage unless we played the Falcons.  As a Panthers fan I hated that because I was super excited we had our own team finally and I was missing it.  I remember going to a bar and watching us beat SF maybe in our first year. But not much chance to watch games.  This prompts me to bitch that an expansion team’s first year was better than anything Tepper has been able to assemble.

      I get what you're trying to say, but I have seen Tetairoa open a plenty and  Hunter Renfrow open a plenty, but Bryce just misses what are supposed to be routine throws. Bryce's arm isn't Mahomes' arm, and he certainly doesn't have the plus mobility (basically the backyard-ball mentality and athleticism to run around until someone's open) and ability to make throws off platform that Mahomes' does.  We also have at least two TEs that get open on the regular, as well as two RBs that can catch and get open as well. Not to mention that Jalen Coker gets open on the regular when in. I just ain't buying that he doesn't have enough weapons. Legette gets open at times as well, not to mention Tremayne. If Bryce would just time his passes better and do it more consistently, it would open up the offense. His issues, at least in my mind, come down to one main thing: his height. He developed consistently bad mechanics over the years to overcome his inability to see the field, and while he got away with it pre-NFL, in the NFL where guys are a little bigger, a lot faster, and more experienced with decidedly more motivation to consistently do their jobs, Bryce is coming up short.
