This is a possible Hardy sack or at least a pass disruption if he didn't slow up after burning Bell? If he extends and surges after rounding the corner he gets to Cam. He isn't allowed to in camp, so he slows up.

 

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer

I don't know. Hardy would have had to cut at a pretty hard angle to get to Cam since he was stepping up in the pocket.

 

He is really close to just extending his arms to get to the ball. I think he gets there if he was going at 100% and not 75%

It's 50/50 on whether Hardy makes that play.  It is clear that he lets up, but I think he was blocked out of the play pretty well by Bell. Bell also seems to let up a little on that second contact.  If he had wanted to, he could have pushed Hardy a little further away. Even if Hardy had been a step faster, I think Cam would still have gotten the ball out.  The placement on that throw was impressive and the receiver (Armanti) did an excellent job of making that grab.  From my perspective it looks like a solid play.

 

The other question would be if Gross would have handled that as well as Bell did there.

 

Probably in the reg season, Hardy makes that play on the opponent more times than not. Hopefully this is a sign that our offense can make huge plays like this when needed against good defenses.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
