I married that woman!

Until he scored the TD!!

I think that in regular season we start doing exactly what O'Sullivan talks about, getting creative to force separation. Don't want to show too much in preseason and give ATL any extra film to study. The Oline worries me too. They looked really good last year in a primarily run-blocking scheme, but transitioning to a primarily pass-blocking scheme is a whole different ballgame.

IKR?!?! Theilen must have fugged his wife or something. That was harsh. Theilen makes a 20 yard catch and he says "not a lot of YAC", lol.

Jeez, their forum sucks! Lot's of good things to say about the newest Panther though.

I think that it's more of a confirmation that we wanted a speed guy to spread defenses. That was why we brought in Byrd to begin with, but he's out for the season (at least). So, we found a newer, less proven version.

It looks like we may need him or Thomas helping out Ekwonu on passing situations, at least for now. I don't care if we call them a TE, FB, or H-back, we know that these 2 guys can block.

I pied you for this term alone!

Sam Franklin - Temple Sam Tecklenburg - Baylor Mark Milton - Baylor (Rhule was already gone before we signed him) I doubt that the last 2 make the team. I just realized that you are correct that these were NOT drafted players, all were UDFA. i should have read your statement closer before starting my reply.

They ain't wrong.

We very likely still have DJ Moore in that scenario as well. That being said, I still think that we made the right decision by stirring everything up, even if it means we take a step back immediately. Wilkes, AR, Foreman seemed like a safer, same old same old, train of thought to me.

AR looked good out there.

I would not hate that at all. Guy runs mean.

I don't think the article was that far off base, other than a mysterious "source" that he quotes. Bottom line is that his pass blocking (when left on an island) was questionable going back to his State days. We gave him a lot of help last year on passing plays. As long as he improves, I'm good with him at LT. "The Panthers got him help with a tight end or extra lineman on 35% of his pass blocks with three or more wide receivers on the field in Weeks 1-9, according to ESPN Analytics/NFL Next Gen Stats. That dropped to 27% the second half of the season when Carolina went to more jumbo sets featuring an extra lineman."

Other teams actually wanted to hire them!

And then he still published it, @$$hole!

Yeah, I think I misunderstood the "protected player" caveat for PS. He could still technically get poached, it just makes it harder to do so. " Teams can designate four players every week that are protected from being signed by other teams. This protection starts on Tuesday each week, so every practice squad player is still available to be signed to the regular roster of another team after their team’s game that week until the deadline on Tuesday."

Stash him on the PS as a protected player unless Young gets hurt. It's unlikely (not impossible) that you need 3 qb's in 1 game.

Lost 7 on Offense?? Freeman, DJ, Darnold (good riddance). Are we counting Chosen, CMC, Mayfield, PJ? BTW, i 100% agree with your assessment that we can rebuild and try to win at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.

In my defense...I still think we have a legit shot at winning the NFCS, thus being a "playoff team". Not because we're a great or even complete team yet, but because none of the teams are. We'll get a real look at that possibility starting in 2 weeks. In other news, I agree that Chark has looked like our best receiver all of camp and preseason. I hope it's nothing major or lingering. And Icky looked really good LAST YEAR. But 1 good year doesn't make you a franchise LT. I'm still bullish on him BTW.

Atta boy Smitty! Coach him up! Side thought...Could you imagine Smitty at 6'2" and 220 lbs? The NFL would have needed a rule to protect hitting defenseless CB's!

or ...Discuss.

Get 1 more game out of him against scrubs...cut him Monday.
