• Daryl Williams got some extended work at left tackle, with rookie Taylor Moton manning the right tackle spot.
• I would love to see Williams start getting good enough at LT to back up both sides and for Moton to take over at RT.

Does anybody know what's going on with Samuel? 

 

Here are some pics too, complete with action shots of helmets on the ground, lol. http://www.panthers.com/media-vault/photo-gallery/Photos-OTAs-Week-1/069aa59b-6564-4e1c-9e21-f0ff95ca59c6

Don't want to speculate, but when a rookie misses time like this it sounds like a family member passed away.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but I just wondered if anybody knew anything.

I tend to agree.  For a rookie to be missing valuable practice time, it's got to be something fairly serious when "personal family issues" is referenced.  Wish the best for him and his family whatever the scenario is.

I'm surprised nobody has commented on this part...

• Speaking of Benjamin, it was a near-miss that earned him the most praise from coaches and teammates. Benjamin performed a full-extension dive in an attempt to reel in an overthrown pass against the sideline. The ball came loose as his body struck the ground, but several people, including Rivera, rushed over to applaud the impressive effort.

If that had been about KB's weight, there would be three pages on it already.

Hmmm.

> Assistant defensive backs/safeties coach Richard Rodgers was extremely excited about an alert play from safety Mike Adams. The veteran newcomer perfectly plastered to Funchess during a scramble situation to help force an incompletion.

Hope Samuel is all good, hate to see him miss practice, but family is important.

By reading comments on his Curtis's Instagram, a family member did pass away. Smh

Hopefully, Adams has at least two more good season in him.

You know that its human nature to harp on the negative. Like I've been saying for MONTHS, Kelvin will be fine.

Yep.  KB is the least of my worries.  I'm having a hard time deciding whether people legitimately think he sucks / is a bust or if it's just providing them with something to talk about when there isn't much else?

If that's all you can add to the conversation, then why even bother?

Ok, I'm not excited for a dropped pass in may.  What is interesting is that coaches/players feel the need to rush to KB to pat him on the back for trying.

Its obvious they are trying to motivate him, but why is a 1st round #1 WR so ho-hum about his work that the head coach has to personally congratulate hustle?
