I see Thielen filling a role similar to that of Ricky Proehl. DJ would be comparable to Smitty, while Legette could be seen as our version of Muhsin Muhammad. Thielen was our main threat last year; sometimes the plays were specifically designed for him, and he still managed to rack up 1,000 yards despite the defense focusing on him. Thielen has the potential to keep the defense honest, which should create more opportunities for other players, especially Diontae Johnson, who has a knack for finding space. Right now, having veteran receivers like Thielen, who know how to get open, is a significant advantage for Young. Thielen can mentor the younger players and show them how it’s done. ISM could very well be Smitty lite also, learning from these two, he has that nastiness about him. I would cut Jamison to be honest to save a roster spot for offense, and I know we thin at DB but the potential in Coker vs a DB who constantly gets beat vs someone who can actually take the top off the defense is a differences for me at this stage.

The play was designed to gain enough yardage to make a 4th down more manageable. In short yardage situations, as opposed to our usual 3rd and long scenarios—where we often end up with 4th and long after a halfback draw—this approach was intended to improve our position. With a bit more time, the quarterback could have hit Thielen for the first down. However, the play called for a quick release, and Mingo should have gained more yards after the catch (YAC). The defensive back was too close, which is why Thielen managed to get open just a split second later. What deserves more attention is that there were no drops—all catchable balls were secured. The first down play to Thielen was especially noteworthy; it was a type of play I haven't seen from any Panthers offense before. It looked so effortless, as if we actually have offensive plays designed to spread the field effectively.

Purrfect!!! Nice throw, Nice catch

Our sideline coach never looked this good- pause

Canales has brought life to this offense- He has a plan and the boys are executing

Wow, did TMJ check the huddle at halftime lol

Marshall doesn't want to get cut I see

I don't think you want to force anything right now, his time will come

Now if this first half don't get you pump for Week 1, I don't know what will

Have we ever had such a competent coach who knows how to run a 2 min offense, and I mean he didn't waste no timeouts either.

Canales is calling a good game- I love the route tree Man Reich really was that bad

we should trade him to Buffalo

wow didn't know that, easy fix, cut Ian Thomas- Matthews done more this preseason than he's done his whole career let's pray not

This offense scheme is so much better compared to last year

Well...smh. I think I jinx our boy

Wallace is the real deal

I love the motion before snaps- and the different packages

Chase drop every pass in preseason his rookie year- js

Jewell aint it, he's missed 3 TFL on this drive alone....smh

Wallace may need to start over Jewell( he looks lost on every play)

Jewell is not good in coverage...smh

well there's your first scoring drive...one more to go

2 scoring drives calling it rn
