I know the guy can be a playmaker......three INTs in one quarter, but it jus seems like the guy had quite a bit of a history with injuries...he was hurt in 06 and 07... seems like kind of a high reach for someon e in the 2nd round....nonetheless i hope he stays healthy and contributes in a big way....jus seems like he has a bit of a problem staying on the field

With as much playing time as they see i honestly think that we "start" 3 corners.

I think marshall will hold the same position he has had since he's been here which is the slot. Martin will play outside.

Marshall isn't the replacement for Lucas, Martin is.

I'm 100% positive this will be the case, but I don't know whose name will be with the 1st stringers on the offense.

Speaking of martin, i was re-reading the sporting news draft mag and even though I can't find him in the rankings, they said martin was a perfect fit for us at corner, wierd.

What were the injuries? I think that is important in analyzing whether he is the feared injury prone or not...

he messed up his shoulders and broke his hand. Nothing too bad. As long as the knees are good I don't worry too much about rookie's injury history.

I heard one of the commentators at the draft on NFLN say the same thing right before we picked him. It was the first time I'd ever heard of him.

Who the hell knows whether those college injuries will affect him in the pros? Dan Morgan never missed a game in college, so it's all a guessing game anyway. I am confident that the Panthers did their homework on all of these players though, so we have no choice but to trust them.

I agree that he fits this defense well though. I don't even want to hear anymore about Sean Smith, because the only thing he has over Martin is a couple of inches of height. Martin was better than Smith in all of the agility drills and he's known as a hard hitter with a nose for the ball.

Well, you can lol all you want, but the proof is in the numbers...

Martin had a better vertical jump...36" to Smiths 34"

broad jump...Martin-10' 3" Smith-9'11"

3 cone...Martin-6.60 Smith-6.98

and 20yd shuttle...Martin-3.98 Smith-4.16

The 3 cone and 20yd shuttle are the most important drills for a DB, as far as I'm concerned, because nobody is gonna just run go routes against you all day long in the pros.

      Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod.

      Who needs to step up in 2026

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion.

      I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
