i'm very interested to see jason williams' continued work at the spot. hopefully he's a guy that can play at MLB for as long as necessary without a drastic dropoff in production due to the guys around him. and if thomas davis comes back full strength by the season opener i wouldn't be surprised to see anderson-keuchly-davis packages with keuchly playing MLB to get the best players available on the field.

a whole lot hinges on beason's ability to return. arguably the entire season.

Oops, looks like furryman wins this one. Phillips it has been, and dooooing well. He uses his hands well, but he always seems to mis-step. He moves his feet well, but he just doesn't flow to the ball. It is like he just does not have that sixth sense of where to be. Like he is a half step behind. He plays at the hole, not in or before the hole. Does that make sense?

Speaking of at the hole. Our D-line opened some holes last week. Am really looking forward to seeing if that was a fluke, or if

Rivera really got through to the troops.

So if Beason and Davis aren't going to play for much of the year what's the starting lineup looking like?

Anderson-Kuechly-????

i think it will probably look like it has the past couple weeks with phillips in the middle.

in the JJ 4-3 the weakside is just about as important and crucial as the middle...maybe even moreso. kuechly would continue wearing the green dot and would be running things, he'd just be doing it from the weakside which isn't that big of a deal.

as long as phillips keeps performing well they will probably keep it this way.

Makes no sense (if Beason doesnt come back) to not have the best MLB to come out of college in the past 10 years, not play MLB for us.

why would he have to move? the role at the Will is just as important as the Mike in this D and kuechly would still be controlling things. seems the most solid line up if beason and davis miss any games is what we have right now.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
