Sunday 8/6 Practice thread

I feel like this is a double edged sword. Like on one end, it’s good to see the defense doing well. On the other end though, you’d like to see more fight from the offense. 
 

I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt because they aren’t scheming/game planning on offense. The Joint Practices will be a good test as well as what we see in preseason even if it’s vanilla.

The defense always seems to have the early edge every camp.  So that's not shocking.  If the trend continues after the next couple of weeks, then sound the alarm bells.  Reich even said yesterday that the offense is still doing installs.  I'll wait to see how the offense looks once the entire playbook has been implemented before getting too concerned.

Most fans are in a wait and see mode.  Ok, we got a new quarterback and a new coach.  That's happened before and didn't yield results.  I understand why people are being emotionally cautious with the franchise.  The changes look great on paper, but it needs to translate to the field.

The D is almost alllllways ahead of the the O on every team starting TC. 

O has much more moves and timing. Some on D - "you have zone 3" same as the last 5 years....

Not a lot of balls in the air today. More situational work. Bryce Young was 2-5 in 11 vs 11.

CJ Henderson picked off Bryce Young in seven on seven drills. Looked to be a miscommunication with Derek Wright

Several apparent vet days for Shaq Thompson, Hayden Hurst and Adam Thielen.

Miles Sanders is in full pads today after tweaking something yesterday. Frank Reich wasn’t sure what.

Frank Reich says Austin Corbett is ahead of schedule in his recovery from ACL surgery. But Panthers are not going to rush it and he’s definitely not going to be ready for Week 1.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
