Panthers Hope Hogan Can Step Up (Pfw)

From Pro Football Weekly

The Panthers do not yet have a clear answer as to who will start at right cornerback for them come Week One, but we hear the club would be pleased to see someone step up and beat out fourth-year veteran Captain Munnerlyn for the job in training camp.

The Panthers expect second-year player Brandon Hogan and rookie Josh Norman to push Munnerlyn, who started a career-high 14 games at corner last season.

Munnerlyn is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and the team would be more comfortable using him in a reserve/sub-package role.

From Rotoworld

The Panthers would reportedly prefer incumbent RCB Captain Munnerlyn to settle into a reserve/sub-package role on defense.

Munnerlyn is a strong slot corner, but was stretched covering the outside last season. The Panthers reportedly hope second-year CB Brandon Hogan can step into the lineup opposite LCB Chris Gamble. Rookie Josh Norman is another option, and Darius Butler could be in the mix after making six starts last year.

We have a some young talented guys at the CB position. As much poo as Cap took for the 2011 season(rightly deserved) in 2010 he was the biggest bright spot in the CB corps that year. Don't get me wrong, I think he should stay at nickel, but he's a tough competitor. With Cap, Butler, hogan and Norman fighting for the spot, I fully expect whoever wins the job,earned it.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.

      https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
