Day 2 Pictures From The Free Seats

[KendrickPanther]

It's pretty early in camp so I don't want to overdo the amateur analysis. Here are some pictures with a little context.

 

Cam's demise has been greatly exaggerated. He looked great today. Here he is with a patriotic look. He makes some odd alterations to his practice uniform and I've surmised he is removing the Nike branding. Under Armour can appreciate the dedication to his sponsors.

The photo doesn't do this justice. Cam's "space boots" sparkled brighter than a Kobe "I'm sorry" ring.

 

I'm getting ahead of myself. Sir Purr opens the 20th Training Camp In Spartanburg.

I love seeing these again.

Every Practice starts with a dud. Special teams and stretching. All the equity with your children evaporates. They will be in dgaf mode when the best part of practice begins.

Next the offensive line breaks into two groups. Ray Brown works with the "camp bodies". John Matsko instructs the projected contributors. Here is a look at Nate Chandler working on his technique at Left Tackle.

Amini Silatolu is back. Now with a knee brace.

John Matsko did not let anything slide with Trai Turner. He ran him through the same drill three straight times. Determined to get what he wanted from the Rookie.

Seconds later.

I don't have a ton of great shots of Kelvin Benjamin but I want to say this guy looks good out there. You can just look at him and say "whether this works out or not I get it. I totally get it". He fits in with the Tight Ends but lines up against the Cornerbacks. This picture shows him a few paces away from Mike Tolbert. #85 is Mike McNeil, our blocking Tight End whom is shorter and lighter than KB.

During Special Teams drills Kelvin Would Catch passes in the end zone from Cam and Derek Anderson. All of them thrown over the top with KB tapping his toes in bounds. There was no urgency or coaching. Just a couple guys getting in a little extra work.

Tiquan Underwood has dropped a few balls this camp but he looks most comfortable using his speed on crossing routes.

I snapped this picture because you are looking at a two tight end set with Mike Tolbert in the backfield. What happens next? I thinks it's pretty obvious. #19 Kealoha Pilares goes bombing down the seam for a long touchdown.

Here are a couple looks at our first team offense and defense squaring off.

This a cool image of a play because there is just so much going on. Just zoom in and look at all the moving parts and battles. My personal favorite is Amini Silatolu pulling from Left Guard. Something Travelle Wharton couldn't do with the same speed.

Here we see the NFL's best defensive line look at each other and say "You tackle him". Meanwhile Luke thanks Ryan for blocking him out of the play.

Cam throws a dart to KB.

This is the start to one of my favorite sequences. #13 Kelvin Benjamin lines up on #23 Melvin White.

#23 White drops into a deep zone, along with #20 Cason on the opposite side of the field. #59 Luke moves to take away Cotchery. KB runs a crossing route and pulls #58 Thomas Davis with him. #88 Greg Olsen runs at #41 Safety Roman Harper to keep him honest. Someone has not been accounted for..

Cam knows he's got em. He throws to Deangelo Williams in the flat with a nice pass. It would have been a big gain. Note Thomas Davis, brace free, about to turn his hips and chase down Deangelo.

Dave Gettleman was the Dark Knight. Not the GM we want him to be. The GM we need him to be. Here he jokes with two of his prized hog(mollie)s. #99 Short jumped butt to butt with Dave as if they had just sacked a qwattaback.

Thomas Davis talks to a Coach while Dave Gettleman sucks Football into his kishkes. Gettleman looks at home on the turf.

At first I cropped this image to feature Cam. But the people around him add something. He has a presence on the field. It's growing every year. Cam doesn't just do drills anymore. He leads them.

That about sums it up for day 2. I've got one last thing. Players that are nursing an injury generally don't spend an extra 10 minutes after practice on conditioning. And then sign Autographs for 30 minutes.

Love the last part. Cam is fine, it's just everyone not a Panthers fan doesn't want him to be. They want his ankle to be fuged so they can say "I told you so"
