Panthers Plan on Martin being a CB.

Recommended Posts

martin was a college safety, but he went through the postseason all-star games and combine working as a corner, and the Panthers think they've found someone who can contribute immediately.

“He's coming in as a corner,” general manager Marty Hurney said of Martin. “He's an explosive kid, tough, a hard hitter. We think he's going to come right in and be part of the mix.”

:eek:

Nickel corner is the 12th starter on defense. If he is our nickel then he will probably play more snaps than any other back up. When it comes to playing teams like the Saints he will probably play as many snaps as Gamble and Marshall.

And if they do end up leaving him at safety, then it's not the end of the world either. I'm not sold on Godfrey. He had a bad rookie season and gave up too many big plays.

Not to mention the amount of pass catching TEs in our division now, he'll have to cover.

    • Yeah. Probably will be close. I am not rooting for anyone don’t really care that much.   Same for the AFC game, don’t really care. Except it is Sean Payton, I always like it when he loses.  But it’s New England, I can’t root for them. It’s going to be 23 degrees at kickoff in Denver, wind will 12-15mph, dropping to 13 degrees by 7pm with snow predicted to start before halftime. 
    • Most people will agree with this in principle. But it's situational and also depends on the results you're getting. We were middle of the league in sacks given up. Had the 27th passing offense. And if a few instances that went our way turned out differently we very likely could have been staring at another 5 win season. For the highest salary cap percentage to the OL in the entire league. While we had basically nothing at linebacker and not much at all consistent pass rush to speak of as we were leaning on two rookies. And despite all that our defense which has been on a lopsided end of investment compared to the offense managed to go from league worst and giving up historic single season points in 2024 to middle of the league in 2025 which is quite impressive all things considered. So yes the investment in the OL versus the results certainly matters or at least to should to anyone that would like to continue to improve and also maybe finally win another playoff game.
    • Still think that if Carson Beck is there on Day 3 you have to take him. QB depth in drafts has been atrocious as of late but what he is good at translates very well to what the Panthers need a QB to do.
