I was pretty excited about going into OTA's and mini-camp about our Offensive Line. I thought there were plenty of new additions that we would have heard some excitement out of our staff. Outside of the Panthers saying Christensen arms were too short, we haven't heard much. It's either lack of excitement or the Panthers are keeping mum on the O-line. Let's hope it's the latter.

Most definitely. Late February is still quite cold and I'm not sure our indoor facility is large enough to hold that event. The draft is in early May and the possibility of a perfect weekend weather wise would bring out a huge attendance. Add the great southern hospitality and Charlotte becomes a favorite spot for the draft.

The LBs are, IMO, the weakest part of our defense. This isn't necessarily a bad thing I just think the other two groups are far more talented. If Shaq, Carter and Perryman show up our defense is going to be in the upper echelon of this league. We have 30 days until training camp. I hope his motivation shows up on the field.

It sounds like he's a good young man. It's great that his #1 priority was finishing school. That's something you don't hear very often. I look forward to him providing decent depth behind CMC and providing a nasty 1-2 punch. I don't know if he's going to be a SJW. I pray he won't be.

Kind of hard to be great when the shadows of Luke are still on the field. We were spoiled for 8 years with an amazing linebacker. No matter how well he does everyone is going to wish Luke was still there.

I take that you believe as I do. He doesn't have to go out and win the game on his own. We have plenty of weapons. As long as he uses them and doesn't try to be the super hero he'll be good.

It will be the greatest turnaround in Panther history if he does. I'm not going to hold my breathe.

Christensen was rated by the Panthers a 2nd round Guard and a 3rd round LT. While we need a LT badly it isn't like he won't be filling a need at guard. Unlike Little who is a bust wherever he plays. Christensen will be a good guard. It is still early and the chance of him being LT isn't completely out of the question. We'll just have to wait and see as things progress.

Lester Towns was average considering he was a 7th rounder. Sadly our best pickup was UDFA Brad Hoover.

Taking it easy on Darnold to build his confidence doesn't help him when the games count. Stressing him and making it difficult will only help him when we start playing real games. You learn from your mistakes and I'd rather him make them in training camp than in a game. Rhule is putting Darnold in a position to succeed.

I was watching the press conferences on YouTube and all I could hear was the writers asking questions. It appeared that the mic was not working on the players. I had to turn it up loud just to hear them but when the writers asked the question it about blew my speakers on my TV. Is to YouTube or were the mics not working properly?

I think we have good players starting and a lot of depth. This is going to give Snow plenty of flexibility to do things we didn't or were unable to do last year. This defense is going to be fun to watch. If they can make it difficult for teams to score. Darnold might be able to lead us to several wins because our defense has kept the score low.

I will have a little bit more confidence if we sign him. We've been through the big name bust (McCoy /Irvin) in the Rivera era. I am a bit surprised that at 28 he has had such a huge drop-off in production. Maybe money ruined him. It wouldn't be the first time.

I just saw this on YouTube. It's pretty funny. 89 is back in the building

If Thomas doesn't make the roster I think it's time to cut strings and allow some younger players to fill our bottom roster and practice squad. I'm looking forward to seeing Miller do well.

I've mentioned many times that scheme can make a average player good or make them look atrocious. He may fit our scheme better than Dallas. If I remember correctly Dallas's defense was abysmal last year. I like that we brought him in. Hopefully he's in shape and ready to put pads on. I am sure he's ready to show that he isn't washed up. Good Luck Ha Ha. I'm pulling for you.

He could very well become another piece to Snow's arsenal. He doesn't necessarily need to be a starter. He could be a piece that we are missing where we can move Chinn anywhere we want. It's definitely worth kicking the tires. I'd love it just to see him ball out against Dallas. Their fanbase would implode.

I've always liked Steve Smith input on NFL Network. I hope this turns out well and become apart of the Panthers sports network.

Moore IMO will crack the starting line up. The way he handled everyone at the Senior bowl makes me believe he'll learn quickly and make the starting line up week one. To be a little bit more realistic. LT B. Christensen RT. D. Brown C. Paradis RG Moore RT Moton

Kind of like PB&J. They aren't very good without one another. A solid D-Line that creates a lot of pressure forces the QB to throw early setting up the DB to make a play. A solid CB group covers lightly and gives the D-Line that extra half second to get a sack. IMO we have both and I'm excited to see what we have.

2 Days? We'd be lucky if he last 2 hours on the practice squad. No way do we put him on the PS. Bold Prediction LT B. Christensen LG D. Brown C D. Moore RG J. Miller RT T. Moton Youth wins out on the left side and our power running game becomes dominate.

Well if Sam gets the fire in his soul the way Jake did we'll have one hellava quarterback.

Little will play one snap at LT and get destroyed and that will be that.

I think what makes me happy about this defense is when he said he would have to figure out a way to get all the talent we have on the field. This tells me that the players we have are good enough to play and most will see playing time. IMO he's saying our depth is outstanding.

This is exactly why we didn't take the Chicago offer. Why trade down and pick and overrated 2nd round pick in round one. I believe we nailed this draft. I think you'll see our defense is going to be awesome. I am so excited to see this new product on the field. I also believe that our staff did their homework on Darnold and he'll utilize all his weapons and put up enough points to win many of our games. Those 8 games we lost by one score or less will turn around for us. Barwell barely mentioned any of our other draft picks outside of Horn. It's feasible that all will see playing time in 2021. After listening to Snow talk yesterday. I am excited to see what Taylor brings to our defense.
