Speaking of rookie guards, I have a feeling that we will see a lot more of Nash Jensen's name being mention in the next game. It seems like they really love his potential and really trying to rotate each game to give everyone a fair shot at the starting guard position. I honestly hope he develops into a Andrew Norwood type story .

I think they’re going to give Zavala every opportunity to win the RG spot until Corbett returns, but if Jenson develops as a solid depth guy, that would be huge.

I think we might have 2 UDFA O-linemen make the 53, especially if Cam Erving is out for an extended period of time (even though he shouldn’t make the team regardless). 
 

Nash Jensen is the name we hear the most but an under the radar guy who held more than his own with the second team offense at LT last game was NC A&T rookie Ricky Lee. Just going back and watching some of the game, I thought he was pretty solid in pass pro and held up in the run game. He looked a lot better than Jordan and Erving have. I could see them trying to stash him on the PS but he’s put out good tape this preseason so I’m not so sure he wouldn’t get picked up if they risked that.

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
