ESPN Camp Confidential

Two things popped out on this for me.

 

 

Benjamin has made more spectacular catches in his first few weeks of camp than arguably any receiver in Carolina history.

 

 

Smitty?

 

 

 

1. Kalil laughed when I asked him about all the questions surrounding the restructured offensive line, saying the line has been a question mark since he arrived eight years ago. The difference is Carolina had Jordan Gross at left tackle all those years. The Panthers don't now. Regardless of how the battle between Byron Bell and Nate Chandler shakes out to replace Gross, Carolina will have two undrafted players starting at the tackle positions because the other will start on the right side. No other team probably can -- or wants to -- say that.

 

 

Didnt realize Kalil has been here that long. 

 

 

Besides those article was pretty spot on.

A bit of info on our man Nate Chandler...

Nate was a California kid. He actually projected as a TE when he was a high profile national recruit coming out of high school. A big athletic kid with good hands. He choose to stay close to home when he signed with UCLA.

People who follow college football on the west coast may know better than me but I think Jim Mora became the HC there at some point during Nates college career.

Anyway.. After a redshirt season Nate started as an OT as a frosh then moved to TE as a soph. Due to his size and athletic ability and the needs of the team Nate switched sides his JR year playing inside and outside d line.

Nate Chandler has shown a maturity and selflessness to change positions and also had the ability to have some success. He's a smart player and it was likely all of these qualities with diverse experiences and versatility that made our man Ron fall for him back when no one knew who he was or why we kept him around as a UDFA.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
