Stopped By Rookie Mini-Camp Practice This Morning...

Stopped by rookie mini-camp practice this morning, didn't want the practice itself (tarps were up) but had a chance to meet a few guys on the way in.

Kuechly seems like a very nice guy, bigger in person than I expected.

Silatolu is a wall of muscle. Honestly most of the offensive lineman I've met are just kinda big and sloppy, but not this kid.

Frank Alexander is bigger than I expected as well, was funny watching him come walking across that bridge wearing # 90, if you squinted your eyes for a moment, you could have sworn it was Peppers. He has a very long, athletic build like Peppers.

On the flip side Joe Adams was even smaller than I expected, but that's okay for a guy who's job it is to make people miss.

Edit: here's a pic of the draft hat I had signed by Kuechly, Silatolu, Alexander and Adams.

Rivera is the man. I hope he's as iconic in Charlotte by the time he retires as Belichick may be in Boston. Would love to see him bring a Super Bowl to the Carolinas, just because...

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
