As I tweeted yesterday...I saw more passes caught by the TE's at practice then all of last year.

Shockey is a man possessed and kept making plays...on one bad pass, that was likely to be picked off, he played pass defense and tomahawk chopped the DB breaking up the INT.

the TEs are going to be huge for us this year. we have a lot of receiving talent there. add to it our stud RBS...all four of them and smitty plus the young talent beside him.

Our playaction should be devastating.

That's one thing that did not make sense with Fox. He wanted to pound the run, but he never really relied on PA pass to the tight ends like many of the other great running teams have.

I think the way the offense is constructed is going to be really helpful to a young athletic QB.

Look down the field on deeper routes for Gettis/Smitty and if safetys drop back, then dump down to the tight ends or running backs, and if/when the LB's drop back Cam can run/scramble for a couple of yards if nothing is open. Vick/Rodgers/Big Ben all used this very much in their rookie years.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
