Yes I know we still have to go through all the camps and preseason but if you had to handicap it who would be your guess.

I really like this Norman kid. Granted I did not even know who the hell he was before the draft but the more I research he seems to have all the tools and skill needed. Sounds like he just needs the coaching. He;s also 2 inches taller than Butler/Hogan and 4 inches taller than Munnerlyn which should help against the taller receivers we will be facing all year.

Munnerlyn is just outmatched when playing the outside and is much better suited for defending the slot. Hogan does not do anything to really jump out at me. I don't know what the hell Butler's problem is. He was off to a nice start as a rookie out in New England and then things went downhill from there.

Other battles that interest me would be every defensive line spot not occupied by Johnson and Edwards.

I think Neblett/Kearse/Mcclain will all be in contention for the 2nd DT spot.

At Defensive end opposite of Johnson, I would hope that Alexander can at least come in and challenge Hardy for the starting job since we traded next years third for him. I also think Applewhite may have an outside chance at it since he did not join the team until October but was still able to have an impact.

Would love to hear everyone elses thoughts as well, and feel free to chime in other position battles that you think may occur.

I've always wondered why people say stuff like this. Why not just say 2nd DE and DT? It makes no sense to say every spot except half.

On topic, FS and WR will be interesting

I predict Norman wins CB2, that Godfrey and Nakamura will be our starting safeties and that Kearse will be the starting DT opposite Edwards.

I do not think we want Norman winning the spot, while he will be a great situational CB to cover larger WR's he dosnt have the speed to keep up with faster WRS.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
