Actually, I took it down because it was from the NFL comms stats hub, and they're not big fans of folks screencapping that data. Judgement call to avoid getting someone in their comms dept up my rear end about it. Stanley and Brian aren't that soft, FWIW. Hope you've had a good one.

Quality velocity. Great protection.

Some interesting tape from last night. Will post some cut ups throughout the weekend.

Happy Sunday! Hope y'all are good. Here's our podcast recapping Carolina's week/game in New England.

24 days til kickoff…Ricky Manning, Jr. gave us one of the great unsung moments in Panthers history. One of the most compelling playoff games of our era, to be honest:

That’s fair. Honestly, and you’ll laugh, my daughter loves the show, and she met McCaffrey the other day. Her first real “connection” to the Panthers experience, as a new fan of the game. She kinda begged me to use the song lol. I thought it worked fine, but I understand where you’re coming from. Just spitting out some content for fun. I have the entire NFL films music library to pick from, I could always lay one of those tracks w it for an alternate video.

Hope this brings you some joy as we head into another season.

Greetings from Wofford. My full recap from today’s 2.5 hour practice session. Back at it tomorrow, 9am. Appreciate yall!

Greetings from Spartanburg. Interesting day at Panthers Camp. Just cut a 45 minute recap from today’s practice, with a look ahead to the rest of the week. Will continue to do a new episode each day, including a fan fest recap on Thursday PM/Friday morning.

Cleveland was able to utilize 13 personnel (3TE sets) as a pass game tool. The dominant nature of their run game encouraged single high coverage opportunities, and the TE group was 3-deep with reliable pass catchers. The play below summarizes Mayfield’s strengths: play action salesmanship, progressing to vertical reads w confidence, ability to place vertical throws with a relatively high degree of velocity and accuracy. The foundation for his success lies in protection, but just as vital…having the threat of a multi-personnel grouping run game active and healthy, making their early down play action shots a credible two-way threat for defenses to strain over.

There are some imperfections on Baker’s tape, and we will chronicle those, as well. I will say, they don’t measure up to some of the fatal error miscues you see from Sam Darnold on a regular basis. Baker has a higher floor, higher ceiling, better energy and I am surprised he’s still waiting to be named the starter. I don’t think I’m alone there. I’m sure a few folks disagree—fair enough. I’m just going on what I know from tape and what I see at camp. I’ll be at Wofford tomorrow morning for practice, as well as the remainder of the week. Fan Fest, as well. Hope to see some of y’all out there!

Hey guys. Trying to make good use of hours of film I’ve cut up on Mayfield over the past month or so. I’ll create a thread here to periodically drop some clips your way.
