Help me out here--So Tremble thinks he is good to go today, but maybe they have decided to give him a week.  We have Sanders and Matthews who can play this weekend, and we sign a guy from another PS (Swinson) and put him on the active roster.  Tremble returns week 2 and Thomas returns week 4.  We really don't need the new TE after week 1.

This new TE does not know the offense--how effective can he be week 1?  Furthermore, we have Phillipe Franks on the PS and he probably knows the offense.  What do we do with Swinson after week 1?

Was Thomas placed on IR??

There maybe a couple IR erereresssss (new) 2morrow with the first injury report. Something is going on with the TEs..

The new TE at a glance seems like a blocking specialist. 

There's huge ??????? going on with the CBs, OLB, and TEs. Just looks like they could not get CBs to try out here and claimed 3 in order to check them out. Just 7 is far too many, most years they carried 4 for periods, 5 max. TEs no fuging clue, someone is shitting the bed and eating breakfast afterwards. OLB HC even doesnt know. they cut a young former 1st couple days before the game and he's been here for the whole OTAs, Mini, TC etc.

 

Can you see the team if clowney goes down with a injury??- shiit show

How about taking a TE in round one or two like I've been saying for years and we wouldn't be in this situation.

Not much talent left in the room. Well, I guess there's not much talent left period, we've been doing this for the last five years.

The Panthers' fans underrate a talented player — remember the 'number 2' D.J. Moore? The fans call for them to be traded. The player is traded. The room is devoid of talent and the picks acquired are wasted. The fans then complain that the cupboard is bare.

I feel like this just the Tepper way. The Panthers seem like they're being run by a short-sighted reactionary fan these days.

The hit rate is low for them in the 1st. 

Honestly the best rounds for TEs is 3-5. There's plenty of 5th round studs.

Sanders could be added, he's just a rookie and got a clear path if he puts in the work. 

I'd have 2 overpaided TEs and own the middle field each week.

the bungals are 18th on the wavier, it seems he wasn't highly thought of like most(include me) believed.

I got no clue what they are doing for OLB after clowney, they did try out Charles Harris. If they wait after week one the salary is not guaranteed. 

That's about it unless you trust Randy Gregory to not fail the easiest drug test in the world(he will)

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/year/2024/status/available/position/edge/sort/contract_value

 

Honestly the best route is trade, but ALL teams are looking for edge help. Ultra high demand and low supply, thus 2025 draft is the way......

 I think we should sit tight--this is year one of a two year rebuild, imo.  Barno and Wonnum are returning, and DJ and Leota have shown improvement.  DE is a tough position to learn in the NFL, and our history with some of our best Edge players tells us that year 3 is often when the light comes on--Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, Mike Rucker. 

  • MIke Rucker (second round pick) had 5.5 sacks during his first 2 years.  Year 3?  9 sacks.  Year 4?  12.5 sacks.  Year 5?  10 sacks.
  • Charles Johnson (third round pick) only appeared in 3 games his first season, so we are not counting it.  His first two full seasons were not bad, but not good.  CJ had 10 sacks in his first two full seasons.  After that he had 52.5 sacks over the next 5 seasons. ( 11.5, 9, 12.5, 11, and 8.5.)
  • Greg Hardy (6th round pick)  had 3 sacks as a rookie and 4 sacks as a sophomore.  Year 3?  11 sacks.  Year 4?  15 sacks.  

Amare Barno is entering year 3.  So far, he has 2 sacks over 24 games.  He needs to step up--I hate that he was injured because he has tools.

DJ Wonnum has 2, 8-sack seasons (4 total--8 sacks in 2023). 

Jadeveon Clowney did about as well in Baltimore (9.5 sacks in 2023).

DJ Johnson and Eku Leota are developmental players in year 2.  Neither has sacked the QB.

We simply need a good year out of Clowney, Wonnum needs to have another 8-sack season and either DJ Johnson or Amare Barno needs to step up in a big way.  Just one of them--and both are elite athletes with good size.  Not ideal, I get it.  But Edge rushers are difficult to find, and we are not getting one in a trade. 

I did not mention the Sheriff.  Stranger things...

I can only think (guess) they plan to upgrade the practice squad with the new guy when his work is done on the 53. It is the only thing that makes sense outside of replacing one of the rostered guys. 

 

edit: I guess if they got him for blocking they can pay him for the week or two and cut him when T or T gets healthy.

We literally have only 1 star on the entire defense.

 

0 stars on offense.

 

This season will be about players making a name for themselves. Not sure who will step up, but that's the fun part we get to watch and see who becomes the next Burns or DJ Moore.

This is absurd.  I am going to remember how we had 1 good player when people start balling.  This from a guy that had Colorado contending last year.  LOL

Dude we are picking Edge early next draft unless Bryce gets hit by a bus.  Very little doubt there

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Cam's New Arm · Posted

      If the losses were him not stepping up in key situations then it'd be a disappointment.

      Tuesday First Game

      By Stumpy · Posted

      I'm well versed in the minutiea of the Canes radio broadcast system... lol I've been back in WNC for about 15 years now. And, until very recently, we would only get Predators games on the RSNs out here. So, radio was the only option for me to keep up with the team. These were the dark years, too. Maybe, once a year, you'd get to see us get smashed on national TV by some original 6 powerhouse. If you were really lucky, Jeff Skinner would bless you with one of his absolutely stunning pirouette passes to nowhere, before Wardo toppled over off his head, giving up a goal on his 70th shot faced that night for an inspiring 1-0 loss. But, that story sounds a whole lot cooler when Chuck Kaiton is telling it to you in real-time with the raspy drawl of a calving heifer! Before TuneIn or the Canes apps even existed, I used to have to find the one spot out in the back yard, where the hills and trees parted just right, that I could pickup 730(?)AM The Buzz all the way out in Catawba county. I'd sit in the shadow of the mighty Appalachians, staring out at the stars and getting high with stray cats, while being serenaded by the worst hockey you've never seen played in your life. That all, finally, started to change around the time TD bought the team. Part of that is due to the new NHL TV contracts and the constant reorganization of the RSNs themselves. Part, was me breaking up with that feral cat and moving to LKN to escape all the painful memories. The march of progress, and all that... I will say though, as much as I've criticized Dundon and as much as I loathe the existence of billionaires on principle, he has done an exceptional job of improving the fan experience, on the whole. Working with the league to expand the coverage map and bringing in outdoor games and all-star weeks has been huge. But, improving the quality on the ice (and of the ice) for all levels of hockey across the state has been even bigger! I forgot where I was going with all this, but... I'll still never forgive him for retiring Chuck K, though! HEY, HEY, WHADDYA SAY!!!!
