I have to wonder if Young is more comfortable with Brady at left tackle than Ickey …and if that means his happy feet are better because if it

…could just be lesser competition…but Giants supposed to have decent Dline

guess KC will show how much improvement is really there 

That would be weird since Ikey has allowed one sack all season.

I think it's more he is getting a little more time and distance from his battering in 2023. That takes time to get over and continuing to get your brains bashed in makes it exponentially worse(see Carr, David).

That said, he still makes the occasional insane decision from a clean pocket.

I think it's more of Bryce starting to gain confidence in that the line is no longer the absolute sieve from the interior that it was last year. He can actually follow through on fundamentals without a guy coming right at his face. Makes the tackles look better because their QB isn't drifting back as much. 

Again, money well spent because interior pressure, regardless of QB, is the most consistent way of sabotaging any NFL offense. Should be obvious but the fastest way of getting to the QB/RB is a straight line. As a painful reminder, double A gap blitz in the Super Bowl.

Yeah, look at the one rep from Sunday when Mays got dog walked straight back by Lawrence. That is the poo that gets QB's rattled and flushed. 

This year those instances have been far rarer.

That's always going to happen from time to time. You just can't have that be the norm. I'm still miffed we didn't go for one of the centers last draft because that was a missed opportunity having a rookie getting the benefit of being sandwiched between two guys who know what they're doing.

Robert Hunt is the biggest home run FA acquisition this team has had in a long while

Makes me wonder why Miami didn't try harder in keeping him, especially when they have a QB with concussion issues.

The worst place to be was Vegas watching your backup kick ass and show the team how it is done where you were totally impotent. How embarrassing. That is a motivator, a little bit. Should be. 

 I can see he is trying to do what the job calls for and respect that.  

I think some of the reason he survived last season was he was defensive as hell and I also think he is gonna get whacked pretty good if he keeps stepping into his throws NFL QB style, trying to be one. But that's the job. Maybe not, maybe he'll be resilient.

Yeah, Mays is still a backup caliber player and Lawrence is an absolutely elite DT.

Frazier was the way. Most of our OL would have been locked down for multiple years.

OMG! Best mic’ed up I’ve ever seen. 

Leadership, y’all. That’s what a man who hates losing with every fiber of his being looks like. Worth every penny. 

I see what you did there, Dan. 

He should have a "C" on his jersey for sure! Now thats leadership! The emotional leadership and the doing it by example makes that money Dan spent on him worth it.

I know its early and I personally trashed giving OGs big money, but he's already passed Matt whale imo. 

 

Maybe only Lucas and Jake are ahead....maybe luvu too....

 

Panthers has one trash FA history. Bunch of one hit wonders and past prime jobbers.....

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
