Wallace Wright has been on the first-team unit when the Panthers have gone to three wide receiver sets during practice.

Wright is a special teams ace but has caught only eight passes in his four professional seasons. This isn't a huge surprise, as Steve Smith is injured and the two favorites for the No. 3 role, Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards, are rookies that often have to start at the bottom of the totem pole. Don't put Wright on your sleeper list.

No small Dline here.lol

DT Ed Johnson seems to be holding off Tank Tyler for the starting job. Johnson is running with the first team alongside DT Louis Leonard.

[The Saltman]

wow...either that means Tank Tyler isn't playing very well or Ed Johnson is playing a lot better than everyone in the league thought.

[X-Clown]

From the Observer:

-- Best scene of the morning: WR Kenny Moore staying engaged with his block on DT Tank Tyler about 15-20 yards downfield. It was the kind of aggressive play that earns Kenny some street cred. Tyler didn't think as much of it, however.

Not to create a firestorm, but QB Jimmy Clausen looks more and more comfortable with each passing day. He found WR Dwayne Jarrett running down a seam early, the kind of pass adult quarterbacks make.

Still don't think he pushes Matt Moore for the starting job soon, but he's clearly impressing.

Jimmy Clausen looks like an adult quarterback? Sweet.

Thomas Davis / Panthers | Thomas Davis feels like he will stay with team

The Panthers are "starting to think" third-round WR Brandon LaFell is their best option

Camp Confidential: Carolina Panthers

“We were eighth in the league in defense a year ago with a new scheme,’’ Fox said. “It’s kind of early to tell, but we should be better with our scheme the second time around.’’

Reeder's take from today...http://reederstake.freedomblogging.com/2010/08/05/ten-observations-from-thursdays-practice/5753/

I feel somewhat vindicated by this quote...

As for Cantwell saying he needs to play above and beyond how Jimmy Clausen plays to win the No. 2 job, Fox downplayed that notion by saying, “We don’t look at that. We don’t look at what guys make. We evaluate how guys play. We’ve had guys who made a lot (of money) and not play good and guys who haven’t made a lot and play good — so as coaches we don’t look at that. You don’t have that as part of the evaluation. The best man wins. We put them in competitive situations and whoever plays the best plays.”

Clausen my still end up being the #2 before it's over, but I'm convinced he will actually have to beat Cantwell fair and square on the field. Clausen is not a 1st round pick, and he didn't sign a $50million contract.

[Sawyer]

Clausen will beat Cantwell. He has too much pedigree and good mechanics not to do so. If it were not for the bad rap the media gave him, he would have been first round. I have faith in Clausen, and saying such, he will be better than Moore eventually.

[Mayor Qumiby]

What I've noticed today is.... Gamble is missing, anyone have any info of this?? Wallace wright is looking sick nasty!!! Matt Moore has thrown 2 pic 6's..

Norwood and hardy both are impressive and Edwards has made some nice catches as well. Smitty is on the sidelines and him and Deangelo were barking at norwood for being a bit to agressive lol..... Other than that it's freaking hot!!!

I'm very excited for this season , we are looking good and can't wait Till Thursday to see how we look in a game..
