which in turn gives me hope that we arent married to BY for 2 more years

That's what I hope.  I think based on the little we have seen from Canales....a young Jake Delhomme is a better pairing for his O than what Bryce brings.   Which is why Baker rebounded with him.  Seattle, Bucs.  All about the type throws Leggette is a fix for.   It's chunk plays.

did he "rebound" or did he just revert back to his norm after getting away from this terrible franchise?

to me those are basically the same thing.  Baker just went back to being Baker.  Carolina was the anomaly for him.

XL has great hands, that’s what I learned. Almost all the deep passes that were in his vicinity were caught. Screen passes aren’t his forte though. He needs to be fed crossing routes and deep shots. He’s deadly on those crossing routes if he’s hit in stride…hope Young learns to do that.

I think he can do screens well, the blocking was horrible and it would get blown up before it got started.  The clips that had good blocking he did well on

How the hell did Rattler get drafted? Legette could have had 200-300 more yards with a good QB. Rattler has no anticipation on his throws plus terrible placement the ball ahead of the receiver. Legette has to wait on so many throws.

And the QB before Rattler was worse! People are like well he only had one year of production. Analysts and malcontents always move the goal posts when they want.

Rattler was like going from Clausen to Delhomme.   And the pass game was weak with Rattler.  But the Gamecocks weren’t a SEC during that window before Rattler.

If he can get the corner he has the jets for it, but he doesn’t have quick change of direction for getting around people if they get to the backfield

See, I think Leggette is better suited to play w/ a Rattler.  Rattler gambles, has an arm and plays aggressive. 

Bryce wants players to be Bama college open or he is going safe more often than not.  Leggette is a let me try to make a play WR.  

I disagree. For better or worse Bryce likes to throw floaters to predetermined areas regardless of what the reciever is doing and bringing those down is XL's bag. I wanted Ladd but I think this was right call. Burners and slot recievers are a dime a dozen but legit jump ball specialists are not.

I know we're in the hopium phase of the year right now but this is all over the game film that every defense we face is going to be waiting for. If Bryce keeps doing this sooner or later we are going to be stuck arguing over why this or that receiver sucks because they can't bail out Bryce all the time. Legette would just be next in line. Bryce is a first overall pick. He's got to figure out how to get some more torque out of his arm. These yarns about his frame and this and that just seem like an excuse to justify him not wanting to lift weights. He's got to match the output of his offensive counterparts who have been putting in the work.

i think part of his game prep is memorizing where everyone is supposed to be at any point within a play and then counting on them to be near there...that's what i recall anyways, could be wrong there. but what i remember is he throws where people are supposed to be so they just have to be near there and able to make the play for the ball when they aren't in perfect position for the catch.

that makes guys like XL more important for bryce. Diontae will help because he can shake loose of coverage. i think that Coker does some of that as well.

Well, agree to disagree.  I think big play jump ball WRs like Leggette are best paired with downfield gunslinger types.  A Jake Delhomme.  They want to make plays downfield and take risks.  

that’s not Bryce. Bryce occasionally throwing a strategic floater or to someone legit open isn’t the same thing as the just  letting dudes try to make a play mindset. 

I don’t think the Panthers have ever accepted what they drafted at QB.  And there coaching hires and front offices reinforce that belief for me.   I still think they are setting up a bad marriage again for Bryce.

Frank, you know what I think about Young’s arm (subpar). 

I don’t understand how weight lifting helps get velocity on a throw.

Maybe lower body stuff combined with streamlining and tightening up his mechanics?

      TMac to finish up Feels good after pads came on. Physicality is a little different, playstyle is a little different. Refs let the players play, so he has to earn his stripes to get calls and just has to be better playing through contact. Focusing on staying confident and listening to coaches. Not much has changed for him, still trying to be his authentic self. Was asked about boxing practice he was seen doing. He's done that since he was a kid because his dad was a boxer and taught his siblings. Was the youngest and got beat up the most, but now he's the fourth of sixth children. Boxing helps with his cardio and being reactive with his hands to the ball + DB. Admits to struggling the first couple of days, hats off to the DB corps for making him better every single day but had his best day on Wednesday. Even the best get got. Just have to remain confident in preparation and abilities. Confidence will take you only so far, and that's where his resilience plays a factor. XL is authentic and great to have in the room. Can rely on him to be the same guy every day. They make each other better. Everybody feeds off of each other and when one person wins they all win. Happy to be a part of the receiver room. Was asked about how he was laughing harder than everybody else at XL getting his feet in the water off the back of the boat: "Man he needs to be stopped bro... He can't be serious but he was serious. It's all good." Playing against the increased amount of press he's facing in practice is helping him get more physical. His job is to catch the ball, so if it touches his hand he has to come down with it. Only catches with one hand if he needs to, but that gives the QB a bigger catch radius. Had a pregame routine where he did a 360 one-handed catch, but doesn't do it anymore. Working on being a pro: Getting into the facility early and getting treatment, eating better, etc. Just wants to win re: rookie goals. Anything he can do to help the team win. "I'm looking for to the season man and keep pounding."

      DJ Wonnum up next Felt the defense came out ready to work at all levels and took over practice. New standard around here. Young guys have to know they're coming in to work. Last year was not the standard. Nic and Princely are fun. Different personalities but loves what they bring to the room. Sky is the limit for them. Nic sits next to Wonnum, Princeley sits next to Jones II. Allows them to be better mentors. Feels great and ready to go Incoom's athleticism allows him to bend and get low even to compensate for not being the biggest guy. Can set the edge. EDGE guys are helped when the ILBs can get home because it allows them to be a little more free while still in scheme. DB being back means his dominance is back. Can set the edge from the 3 or wherever he's at to make the runs bounce to the EDGE guys. Winning mentality and standard this year. Championship level from practice to how you live off of the field. Accept greatness and excellence with guys wanting to come to work every day. Not settling for anything less. Been in guys' shoes that are fighting for roster spots so he knows how to address them. Remembers not knowing what's next, especially as a rookie. Have a clear mind and ask the older guys a lot of questions. Has a good relationship already with Pat Jones II due to knowing each other and talking football all of the time. Can make hand gestures and know immediately what to adjust. Taking care of his body and excited to start the season. Getting it acclimated to football again by being able to tackle and bring players to the ground. Didn't know they were playing live tomorrow. Don't tell me it'll be "thud." Browns next week will allow them to hit somebody else and get a feel of what a different team is doing. Also allows the team to see where they're at on offense and defense. Ready to play football. Not worried about the QB matchup for Cleveland, going to play hard regardless of who is back there.
