The gadget plays yes, but I was alluding more to growth as a route runner. He's look kind of lost so far and seemingly can't separate.  

We'll see how he develops there. Even if he remains just a gadget guy he'll be worth what we gave up for him. Having a guy like that out there that the defense always has to account for is a nice chess piece.

Atlanta's offense even with Ridder at QB will be very good this year, gameplan with HAVE to be stopping the run and hoping that Chinn can cover Pitts while Jaycee blankets London. 

I wouldn't say very good but probably better than you'd expect. They're gonna lean very hard on Bijan and run the style of offense that John Fox has erotic dreams about at night.

Ross Tucker said that for defense only look for individual effort from the unproven players. That a DC in preseason is not going to show you anything of what they intend to do during real games.

I'm not concerned about the scheme. I don't think we've seen much of it. What I'm concerned with is simple assignment football. Our gap discipline in the run game has been largely terrible and we've seen blown coverages by the starters in both games.

Evidence of competency. Downplay it all you want but what we've seen this preseason is concerning. Our OL hasn't slowed anyone down yet and our D is missing a lot of gap assignments. That's not a scheming thing. That's a lack of competency.

Our defense isn't as talented as everyone makes it out to be lol.

Shaq is still just an ok LB and we have nothing beside him. We have no NT. We have one 3-4 D-lineman. We still have no 2nd edge rusher. Our S are okay and we cannot stay healthy at CB.

Like I don't expect the week 1 team to look as bad as the preason shows but I'm not terribly surprised by what the D has shown me.

The one constant with the Huddle? Nobody underestimates Panther talent like Panther fans themselves.

Right? Frankie Luvu is literally right there.

Von Bell, Xavier Woods, Jeremy Chinn, and Sam Franklin Jr are just ok?

DeShawn Williams started for the Broncos last season on the DL for their 3-4.

Justin Houston just signed.

Folks don't have to believe that the defense will play up to their hopes and desires, but willfully dissociating from reality isn't going to help either. 😮

      You're saying the same thing as I said.  Until Jordan becomes an active part of recruiting and funding, this school will continue to fall way behind.  But to say Michael Jordan or the Jordan brand doesn't matter anymore, which is what you said, is flat out wrong.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      I have not learnt my lesson and will always want Uber athletic profiles. Sorry, Im a whore about it.... Im not the right guy to defend Kenyon, I just have a understanding with this years draft, numbers, and panthers roster. He is more of "upside/project" and we are talking 19th pick here too.  I know about the years of all the mock drafts with TEs in them and I did want Pitts too.... Look I love the current TEs on the roster too, just this guy should be better than any of them at their best.  Right now I feel OT is the correct target, but panthers as a org are trying to win in 2026 than 2027. So tea leaves and all, Kenyon would help this year. You can even say flex him to slot for most of the snaps and think of tmac on smoke routes with Kenyon blocking for him. I just hate BY is the shooter..... warren, I would say he's the better prospect even without his rookie year, *but he was late bloomer like XL if Im right, plus age was 25ish?? Bears picked love above him, mainly cause of recs.  You can make a case that Kenyon is not a TE, but a moving weapon for offense that can be in the backfield, on the LOS, slot, and even X.... imean he's got XLs combine on some numbers.... He would be better to a offense mad scientist type...is that Dave? or is that bevell?? I think the Panthers should have him as a 19 pick, with others...

      That's one of the best power play games I've seen us have in a while.
