Carolina Panthers Rapid reports

Recommended Posts

updates from OTAs.(you can look at the past reports by clicking on the month and then going to the days)

Some interesting stuff.

Another sign the Panthers will look different on offense this year. “I think getting into a new offense you’re going to see things that you haven’t seen before and you’re going to have to adapt to what you see on the field,” said FB Tony Fiammetta. “The more you see things, the better you’re going to get.”

Carolina's DT rotation remains up in the air, but look for Tank Tyler andLouis Leonard to be running with the first team once players get into padded drills this summer.

Although most observers are under the assumption Mackenzy Bernadeau will take over for Keydrick Vincent as the team's starting RG this season, several sources inside the team said not to rule out converted T Geoff Schwartz as a possible starter there

OL Geoff Schwartz hopes to win the team's starting RG spot. "I'm excited just to have an opportunity to start," he said. "I don't mind guard. It's a little different than tackle, but nothing I can't get used to." He'll battle Mackenzy Bernadeau for that spot

don't forget about Duke Robinson for RG. he says he's pumped for the opportunity... but considering Bernadeau and Schwartz got actual playing time last season, I'm already penciling Robinson in as the #1 backup.

Updates from today(I hope they give Connor a real shot)

Although it was expected Dan Connor would compete for the vacant SLB spot with James Anderson, Connor said he hasn't worked at all at that spot in OTAs; he's practiced exclusively at MLB backing up Jon Beason. "I'm not in charge, so I just kind of go with," Connor said.

Rookie DE Greg Hardy is opimistic about his chance with Carolina, saying, "I feel like there is definitely a place for me to come in and play, contribute and start a couple of games. ... I feel like I should dominate at every level I'm at."

Hardy dropped to the sixth round in part because of injuries but it's motivated him because he feels as if he has something prove. "I'm a late-round draft pick and everybody has some questions," Hardy said. "But I have to come in and show them what I can do."

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
