Week 1 - Panthers @ Jaguars (practice tweets, news articles, videos, etc)

[RJK]

This games a toss up so I won’t bet it but if Carolina looks like they have for almost a decade I’ll ride them to another profitable football season

Updates from Canales today after practice:

• Icky was in uniform today but is doubtful for Sunday. BC or Nijman to start.
• DB Damarri Mathis, who the Panthers had picked up off of waivers, tore his ACL this week on a non-contact play which is why he's been on the injury report. It occurred on Wednesday and he'll be getting surgery for it.
• DLew + Hunt were listed as limited during the week but are not on the injury report for today
• No game designation for A'Shawn as well

He better fuging mean, "We plan to start BC."

It really seems like they're going to at least attempt early on to make him a legit two way player as a sub-package type guy on both offense and defense. That seems like the absolutely dumbest path forward not just in the present but in terms of his development. Sometimes you have to save guys from himself. I know he sees himself as a full time two way player but dude... not in the NFL. You're drastically shortening your career and hampering your development trying to do it. IMO, the way to manage that is just tell the guy listen, you're playing CB. We're going to have a package of plays for you on offense and we'll see how it goes. The better it goes the more we'll expand it as long as your playing well in your primary role as CB.

I just do NOT see him as a WR. He has the look of a top 5 CB. This WR poo is a joke, IMO.

Yeah, he's basically an offensive gadget player in the NFL IMO.

Keep in mind that Keli'i Kekuewa is on the Jaguars coaching staff now. This man was the assistant o-line coach for us last year. He's going to know the strengths and weakness of our o-linemen.

Maybe eventually, he was getting ragged on in camp because of all the drops he had due to body catching and his non existent route running skills....

He's not gonna just out athlete NFL DBs.

Yep I’m so mad NC took so long to make sports betting legal or I’d have bought a house by now betting against the panthers

You don't draft a slot guy that high. That is insane.

I have been trying to find a live sportsbook that will cut me a large wager on the Panthers not having a winning record before 2030.

not sure.  Also saw reports he showed rapid improvement after OTAs.   Slot generally sees weaker coverage.  I could see his athleticism being enough vs a lot of teams.   

given we about to trot out our D that make Sheduer look good…..I’m not confident enough in them to knock Hunter today

You might draft an elite slot and elite nickel corner that high though?  Slot is all I see him as. 

it’s also a passing league that has seen a shift with all the 2 high S looks being overplayed.  

I wouldn’t have drafted him.  I don’t think he was good enough at either spot to go that high.  You are forced into some dual position gymnastics that probably go away after a year or so
