Starts off reminding everyone he needs to pass a physical. Then adds...

 

On what Allen can add to the Panthers: "He's a pass rushing specialist – that's what he does – and he plays the run very well. He's a physical guy. He's got good size, good hand strength. He rushes with violence. He doesn't just sit there and work one way or the other – he's got counter moves. We watched a lot of tape on him today just to make sure that this could potentially be a fit for us."

He was just on Panthers Talk and seemed really excited about him. Said he'll contribute much sooner than Norwood because he's a seasoned vet and DE is quicker to pick up than WR. Mentioned the pending physical a lot but assuming he passes that, I would bet he'll have a big role right from the Bucs game.

Man, give Jared a players coach, a couple of solid young DTs, plenty of character guys in the locker room, and a top 5 defensive unit? This is exactly the kind of landing spot he needs. I'm beyond stoked 

IDK if we're a Top 5 defensive unit, but I agree with everything else.  Our young stud DTs should allow him to go to work.

Really not looking for Jared to come in and save our Dline. But our line definitely just got better.  I still see Sean using different packages out there. If we can get Charles Johnson back healthy after a few weeks, we can see this pay dividends by utilizing him for rotational depth. 

If we can get out of him what we've gotten out of Peanut & Oher, I'll be more than happy.

Definitely not a complaint... just tempering my expectations.

      The Athletic/Diana Russini: What I'm Hearing - "Bryce is Done in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I think it was less Tepper mandating it and more Tepper finally relenting and allowing it. I've always maintained that I think what caused Reich to be fired midseason was likely him going to Tepper and saying something along the lines of "Either let me play Dalton and five this team a chance to compete or just go ahead and fire me now."

      I honestly think it was a mutual, collective decision. Canales might have been hired to be the Panthers head  coach because he was the best chance to get Bryce where he needed to be to succeed and did everything...I mean he and Morgan did EVERYTHING possible to create a successful situation for Bryce. And it was obvious... painfully obvious that not only was it not working, the team was losing and it was effecting everything. Canales was hired because they thought he could help Bryce, but he was hired as the PANTHERS head coach, not Bryce's personal coach. If everyone could see this was failing far beyond what anyone could have and it didn't look like it was anything that could be fixed quickly....then that everyone who could see would have to include Canales himself who is responsible for not just Bryce, but the whole damn team has to have looked at what it was doing to the team and their chances to win and said, we have to choose what is best for Bryce or the Panthers. He came in and said he had no personal attachment to any player, and that means he has no personal attachment to Bryce. He's going to do what is best to help the team win. If that means benching Bryce, then that's what he's going to do. Did he make this call without Teppers blessing or input? Hell no. Did they come into the Monday meeting having both come to the same conclusion regarding Bryce? I would have a hard time arguing that wasn't the case. All in leadership has to have seen it wasn't just not working...it was killing the team and they had to make this switch for the betterment of the team soon or else lose the season completely. No way would Canales had bern campaigning for Bryce to stay in there. He's not that dumb. Sometimes regardless of the work you do, you have to realize when it's futile and the earlier you recognize it, the better off you will be.
