When Training Camp Begins

Things that may happen when training camp begins.

OFFENSE:

Lets be honest, this is a rebuilding year, and as such, we'll use it as on the job training to see(A) which QB is going to be our starter going forward in 2011, and (B) which receivers come on towards the end of the year and show that they are ready to be our number 2 & 3 receivers in 2011.

QB - I think Moore will start, but if Fox keeps and open mind, truly uses this as on the job training to see who is best....then I think Clausen could be starting sometime in the last half of the year.

WR - We all know that it normally takes WR's a couple years to start making real impact. I know these guys should show spurts this year, but I don't think we'll see consistency out of them. I think we'll see a few "Wow, did you see that" plays sandwiched in between alot of learning.

So, my hope is that by the end of the year, on offense, we have a solid QB who is going to be our starter for the next 10 years, as well as a solid back up in place. As well, we have a slot receiver and a tall blocking receiver to complement Smitty. If we do that, and our O-Line stays in good shape, our offense will be SCARY in 2011!!!

DEFENSE:

Again, this is a rebuilding year, but I think our defense can be respectable with two big questions:

1) Can Tyler and Leonard get the job done at DT?

2) While we have starters who are young and should gain alot of experience in order to be strong in 2011, do we have any back ups in case of injuries? If we don't have any injuries, we'll be lower to middle of the pack as a defense. But if we have a few injuries....I think it could get ugly!!!

My biggest concern with next season is our receiving game. Will Barnidge continue to make big plays and become solidified as our starter? Who is going to be our number 2 receiver? It will be interesting to see how our receivers respond with Moore passing and whether they will continue to improve.

I don't see how it is rebuilding. All we did on offense was add talent. Defensively we lost Peppers but with that comes the bigger and more experienced Brown(year2) and we just drafted Norwood and Hardy who should provide immediate pass rush help. Brayton is returning to help stop the run. Obviously they think Tyler and Leonard can get the job. Ed Johnson provides talented depth. Harris is a loss in leadership and experience but he will also be supplanted by a more talented player, either Martin or Godfrey.

I don't think the offense will be any worse than last season. The only loss on offense is WR Mushin Muhammad, and he was replaced by LaFell, and Jarret could finally step up.

Today's trade greatly improves the Panthers defense, by starting 4 DB's with CB cover skills. If Jamar Williams is Thomas Davis backup WLB, allowing James Anderson to start at SLB (backed up by rookie Eric Norwood), with Dan Connor remaining as the backup MLB, the Panthers OLB's will be much faster, and better in pass coverage,

The addition of rookie Greg Hardy improves the pass rush, and adds the needed depth at DE. The only defensive weakness left is at DT, and if the Panthers can add a big run stopping DT, the Panthers defense could be truly smothering.

Nice post. I feel the same way. Just got a feeling we'll be better than advertised. TC should be very interesting.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
