Swung by practice again today, you know things are bad when the home team is using a noise machine... that's right, we are practing with a noise machine in preparation for our home game against Atlanta this weekend, LOL

No Beason at practice today, resting his knee I assume.

Hurney was on the field watching practice, first time I've seen him do this in all the practices I've attended this year.

All things considered, Steve Smith seems to be in very good spirits... he was joking around with other players quite a bit.

Noticed Clausen and Coach Sherer having quite a bit of conversation and there were times when Jimmy seemed to be getting a little hot, or just emphatically explaining his point of view, as if he was responding to criticism he didn't agree with... probably not a big deal, but it was interesting to watch.

Null was running the scout team, the guy is impressive looking and has an arm, but didn't complete many passes. Vaughn was playing the part of Tony Gonzalez, Trent Guy was playing the part of Roddy White.

Munnerlyn was at practice today but was not participating.

Darin Gantt had a really goofy looking "Fargo" hat on and was getting made fun of by many, including Steve Smith.

No, I didn't see Armanti doing anything that looked like 1st team work or taking any snaps - but I may have missed something, wasn't there for the entire practice.

A guy asked coach Fox for his autograph, he came right over and gave it to him, then made the comment "it's not as valuable as it used to be", LOL

"These are the times that try men's souls".....If you are a Panther fan, then this is truly our "Valley Forge". (Of course kids are probably not taught this in school anymore). The bright side is well...we all know what happend at Yorktown later. ;)

...oh and I just picked up a 2011 Calendar at the Panthers team store.

The cover features Jake handing off to DeAngelo, one of the months features Chris Harris, another month features Moose and yet another features Matt Moore.

Edit: and in an ironic twist, the calendar says it's the copyright of "Perfect Timing, Inc"... I think not.

Yup, just like 2001 this is when we find out who the real fans are.

I got to be honest, I've had my issues with Foxy about his coaching/decisions, but I feel for him this year. I think he is a VERY good coach, at his best, and from all accounts, he's a really good guy off the field. Your stories always lend to that Catman...

I feel bad about how JR did him this year and I worry that other good coaches won't want to come here because of it... But, it is time for us to split ways after this season regardless and I wish him the best.

The Panthers selected Edwards in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft, as a wide receiver. But as Carolina has struggled offensively, Edwards supporters continue calling for an expanded version of the "Mountaineer," -- the Panthers' version of the "Wildcat" package -- that the team used for two plays two months ago.

"Every now and then we'll rep it, see how it looks," Edwards said. "But I'm full-time at receiver."

Edwards understands that his future with the Panthers – aside from perhaps a gimmick play here and there -- lies at receiver. So even if some of his fans don't understand, those around him understand why he's not yet in the mix on game day.

      I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.

      The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't.

      I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
