So, for those of you with dreams of having a huge Butt on the Panthers, well you're not the only one having those wet dreams

There's a Butt out there that has insinuated towards the desire of 'butting' in with the Panthers recently. His primary reason appears to be his positive connection to Olsen. In fact, he is a pretty huge fan.

Michigan tight end Jake Butt is extremely pro-Olsen, and has been trying to build a relationship with the veteran tight end as he readies for the next level of play. 

“I spent some time talking (to Greg) on the phone,” he said Friday during his podium session at the NFL scouting combine. “We share a financial adviser together. Obviously he’s a great player on the field, we all know that. We’ve seen it.

“For him to reach out to me, to spend time talking to me, taking time out of his busy schedule and preparing me for this process, that just speaks to the kind of guy he is. I hope to be the same player he is some day. ... But even more so, the same man.”

Butt added he hopes Olsen puts in a good word for him with Carolina.

 

Butt's comments are certainly something to not put in the rear end of things, as the draft season is hurling about soon. 

The one concern for him flopping like poo in the NFL lies in his recent ACL fiasco. However, it appears it won't be an issue, as he should be fine by June.

Quote

Butt had surgery on his knee on Jan. 10 – it is his second ACL repair, but on the opposite knee – and hopes to be fully cleared by June. He will ease back into football drills before that. He says the rehab process is going well, but his NFL combine experience is more about the interviews with teams and scouts. 

So, Butt appears to be someone at play, maybe a guy we can snag near the bottom. However, he shows his spirit as one not to be known just for being a bottom, but rather, one to rise the top.

Quote

“My love for the game,” he said. “I’m so passionate about this game, so passionate about winning and trying to get my name out there and help an organization reach the Super Bowl, and win one.”

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
