"Our Focus is on DENVER"

Panthers coach John Fox called up his trusted veterans Wednesday to spread his message that the team has more work to do. Here's a look at who was listening:

QB Jake Delhomme, FB Brad Hoover, WR Muhsin Muhammad, LT Jordan Gross, TE Jeff King, DE Julius Peppers, DT Damione Lewis, LBs Jon Beason and Na'il Diggs, SS Chris Harris and P Jason Baker.

CHARLOTTE -- As fine a piece of cinema as it was, the Carolina Panthers haven't watched the film from Monday's win over Tampa Bay.

In part, it's because, in a short week, they don't have the time. They're too busy getting ready for Denver.

But there's also a mandate from above at work, with Panthers coach John Fox putting out the word he doesn't want his team peaking with that one -- no matter how good.

Fox called up the elders after practice Wednesday, an 11-player huddle which lasted a good 10 minutes after the rest of the team was headed back to the locker room.

He wouldn't elaborate on the conversation -- "That'd be a negative," he replied when asked to share, "that's why it was over there."

Out of the three remaining games, the Denver is probably the most important. After such a big win, agaisnt a division rival, and on Monday night, how the Panthers preform this Sunday will show just how good this team is right now. If they can come out on Sunday and play at the same level as they did Monday this team is going to be able to far into the playoffs. While the Tampa game may have been more important as far playoffs and division standings go, this game is the real Manhood test.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
