Dave Canales says rookie TE Ja'Tavion Sanders will start vs. the Saints. Points out he's been practicing with the 1's for a while, so excited to see Sanders and Jordan Matthews on the field.

If he looks good, I imagine he could stick moving forward.  

Looks like it's Sanders in 11, Sanders-Matthews in 12 personnel.  

And I mean, he looked good in preseason.  Passed the eye test.  Don't forget, he produced super well in a loaded receiving room with Worthy, AD Mitchell, & Wittingham. 

Exciting to see; this is the opposite of what we're used to with a rookie being given a big shot from the onset.

Our third and fourth rounders could prove to be the strength of this draft. Hope not-but if our first two picks reach their potential, it could be the first layer of the foundation.

And the best running back in college football--of course, if you defend the 3 WRs and focus on Brooks, his success could have been because he was not the first, second, third, or fourth concern.  We shall see.

Idk if this is going to work but just seeing a young promising TE getting the starting nod immediately is a breath of fresh air from previous years. Folks who were here for Rivera know what I mean.

Also I think this situation points toward a lot of upcoming involvement from Legette maybe not game 1 but definitely as the first stretch of the season progresses.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
