Practice tweets/news from today (will post videos in the next cpl of posts if there are any worthwhile):

  • K Ryan Fitzgerald now wearing #10. QB Hendon Hooker has #12. WR Dalevon Campbell has #81. RB DeeJay Dallas was in #1 but it's currently a practice-only number as he was playing the part of Jag's RB Travis Etienne on the scout team (his real number is #20).
  • WR Jalen Coker walked out with a compression sleeve on his left leg. Later seen on the bike.
  • LG Damien Lewis not wearing the red practice jersey anymore, should be full go for Thursday.
  • LT Ikem Ekwonu was at practice but not dressed out as he recovers from an appendectomy. Worked out on the sideline with Jalen Coker + RB Jonathon Brooks.
  • WRs Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Hunter Renfrow were all exempt from special teams practice. Likely three starters for Thursday.
  • OT Yosh Nijman got the first looks at LT today.
  • During the post-practice presser, Canales said that there was a lot of good energy today and that offense won the 1-on-1s which included a 40yd throw from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette early to "set the tone" (per Canales). Also stated that Icky is currently day-to-day. Commented on having a training plan for Coker this passed offseason and that he did a great job following it (though the quad issue is one he has had in the past).
  • Renfrow's locker is between Dalton and Hooker (left) and Young (right).
    • Sounds like they're trying to get Renfrow on the same page as the QBs in this offense to replace AT's role as that second set of "QB eyes" on the field.
  • Icky talked about his symptoms that led to his surgery and mentioned that his dad, a physician, was who got him to go. Won't rush himself back, but hasn't ruled out playing Sunday.
  • Renfrow said he had others, but he was either going to play for the Panthers or not at all. Said Bryce called him during the process and that when he was released the team mentioned that the Thielen trade might be coming. Got the news while picking up a trailer at his other job. Also said that Canales told him that he didn't think that he was physically ready yet but wanted him back on the practice squad. The Coker injury changed the calculus.

Ive never thought this about any season, but if the out-come of this week one may determine.......I feel there is too much riding if the Panthers lose. They finally won back the hope of some fans and if they lose to the worst QB going on years on one of the worst teams.....it will ruin the whole season for me.

If they want to be relevant, if they want the fan base to give a poo, they need to win

no excuses anymore 

it is the Jaguars, not the Eagles or Chiefs or or 

of course, Evero’s defense will make Etienne look like Walter Payton and Lawrence like the #1 draft pick he is supposed to be

tbh, my expectations are low until proven otherwise. I'm hopeful to see the team come out of the gate swinging, but there's a lot of questions that still need to be answered that we've been asking all offseason.

Looking at the moves that the team has made and the way that current contracts for this roster are set up, I get the feeling that the team is looking to compete but it's all about evaluating whether or not they're going to need to invest in a new signal caller to start the 2026 season.

The offense needs to hit the ground running and build off of last season's momentum. If they come out sputtering and can't figure it out quickly, they're going to dig a hole that they're not going to be able to get themselves out of.

Fingers crossed that the defense comes together quickly. They won't be a top-10 unit but pls just don't be bottom-5.

Coker also went from "being in the best shape of his career" to being a slug that doesn't work out.

This franchise is about as trustworthy as Russian media.

Your timeline is off. 

He was out of shape before getting called out for it and he reacted and got in shape

So let me get this straight - Renfrow goes from not physically being ready per Canales to bonafide starter?

I'm guessing that the plan was to rotate him with Coker in order to offset both of their conditioning issues, but now with Coker out that's going to likely give JHJ some opportunities. 🤞

Bryce Young still hasn’t shown he can open a season on the right foot. While he’s proven he can close strong, my expectations for these early weeks remain low until he demonstrates otherwise.

He does get a relatively soft matchup against the Jaguars, so hopefully he shows signs of putting the early-season struggles behind him, but I’m not overly optimistic just yet.

Doesn't help he barely had any preseason reps. We'll see.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
