Today Steve Smith was on the local sports show in Charlotte and did a position by position break down of the team.

This is just Smitty opinion of the position that are filled and locked down and the ones that might be up for grabs.

A thank you for the link from all of us Panther fans who don't live in the Carolinas.

1. QB - Cam is a Lock not much debate on the radio.

2. RB - Lock D-Will and Stew. Steve thinks Stew will be the starter and get most of the carries.

3. FB - Tolbert -Lock - Steve made a Joke about Brockles being bow leeged.

4. WR. Steve- Lafell - Locks - There was a debate between the 2 Drive host and Steve about Lafell. With Steve defending Lafell and pretty much thinking he is a lock for number 2.

5. TE- Olsen - a lock Hartsog a blocker - Steve thinks Rosario might make some noise keep a eye on him.

6. Oline - Gross, Amini, Kaili - Locks - the right side could be up for grabs. Didn't know if it will be a draft pick.

I'll do the defense a little later.

Where/when is the football portion of this? I went to the link and didn't hear them talk about Panthers football at all.

The Drive hour 3. At 2.30 they started talking about the positions break down. The link should be right on hour 3.

Edit : The link has hour 4 at the top go down and click on hour 3 and it will go to the top of the page where you can play it.

Steve referred to Jordan Senn as "The Senn Master". That's great.

Said Colin Cole was in Charlotte training and recovering from a broken ankle this off-season. Cole didn't even have an agent and called up the Panthers and got himself a work out and Steve said he just killed it at the workout and they signed him right there. Says he is a quiet guy that just goes about his business but will surprise some people this season.

89 said that Florence will start at one of CB positions while the rest battle it out for the other. Sounded pretty confident in that assertion.

High praise for Senn, Blackburn, Hogue, and Colin Jones in the special teams department. Referred to them all as "special team aces."

    • I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.    
    • Sauls getting cut by Steelers if no trade happens.
    • No they are going to give Claudin Cherelus 2 spots.
