Charlie Campbell of Walterfootball is reporting from Mobile..

University of Regina (Canada) defensive tackle Akiem Hicks landed on a number of teams' radar at the East-West Shrine Game last week. In speaking to sources this week, a few teams have serious interest in Hicks. Those teams include the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks.

And just FWIW Campbell reports that we also interviewed a few players..

Carolina - Troy offensive tackle James Brown, Vanderbilt cornerback Casey Hayward and Texas defensive tackle Kheeston Randall, Appalachian State receiver Brian Quick, Ohio St. receiver Devier Posey, Marshall defensive end Vinny Curry, and CAL offensive linemen Mitchell Shwartz.

i'm thinking we should trade our 2013 2nd rounder for the patriots late 3rd round pick, take quick and try to turn him into a QB. Good idea?

Getting ready to cut another Boone Goon but we do not want to lose the TV revenues from the greater North Appalachia area.

Brown is supposed to be the real deal.

Hayward one doesn't surprise me, but he certainly wasn't the best CB prospect on the field today. Or the second. Hope we don't throw too many eggs in that basket. Like the other interviews.

This is a very solid CB field imo and would be happy with anyone from Jenkins, Hosley, Minnifield, Dennard, Kirkpatrick, Gilmore, etc.

I'm fairly confident in one thing this draft: one of those six guys I just mentioned could be wearing silver black and blue come next season.

btw...which 2 stood out ahead of Hayward in your view?

Janoris Jenkins is far and away the best CB at the Senior Bowl this year. Dwight Bentley of Lou Lafayette out performed Hayward today in my mind. I don't think he's the better prospect overall, but he did play better-and this is just the South talking about. The North would be a whole other can of worms.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
