Impressed by CMC yesterday

I attended practice yesterday and was impressed by CMC on multiple levels.

First, his size... he has much more muscle mass than I expected, here's a pic I took of him next to Stewart during position drills:

Second, his between to tackles running and agility. Watching him go through drills with the rest of our RBs his foot speed and agility is on a different level, even from Fozzy. First snap he took in 11 on 11 was against the 1st team D and he made a cut that broke my ankles just watching. Yes they were wearing shells and playing to contact but he made a cut that left one or more of our first team defenders looking for their jock strap and I don't think he was even touched.

I had some doubts about CMC and the jury is still out (as it is with any rookie) but I walked away from practice yesterday thoroughly impressed.

I'm sure he'll get his "welcome to the NFL" moment from one or both of them when the pads go on. 

surely.  I'd be disappointed if Luke & TD don't manage to frustrate him badly at times.  But I do expect CMC will win a few matchups, and we won't have to wonder is CMC good or are our LBs bad.  We know what we've got in our LBs, and if CMC can win a few of those matchups, whoa boy.

I think we've got a fantastic situation where Luke & TD will make CMC better, and CMC will sharpen Luke & co,

Yeah, was just thinking the same thing - CMC is in a fantastic situation as a rookie getting to hone his craft against the best LB duo in the league and from a defensive perspective the only kind of HB we've struggled against are the shifty/speedy kind like CMC so this will be great exposure for Luke, TD and the rest of our defense.

He's the same size as LeSean McCoy, if not bigger. I never got the "he's too small" argument.

Well it's not like McCoy doesn't have an injury history.

I never bought into the size thing anyway, it's how tough a guy is. You can be on the smaller side and not be subject to injury.

      Who replaces Evero?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      So this has been one of my biggest concerns with Canales and it's the downside of having some young offensive guy who doesn't have full staff control. like what is the org chart for this decision?  With canales, who does he know or has worked with that he can tap? He hasn't been in Seattle in 2 seasons and all those guys are gone anyway. He wasn't even that high up on the org chart in Seattle so it's unclear who he would have regularly interacted with. QB coaches generally aren't going to be in the split squad meetings, at least not regularly. Just glancing at the coaching staff, Clint Hurt jumps out. He was DC in 2022 and is currently the dline coach in Philadelphia, but that team is the brainchild of roseman and i'd be very hesitant to bring in someone who was allowed to walk from seattle and would be having a SUBSTANTIAL decline in talent here in Carolina. With Tampa, that defense is a shambles and fans want Bowles out. It's a very top heavy coaching staff too; Bowles is very involved so there isn't some bright up and comer, from what Bucs fans elsewhere have said. Someone from the Bills maybe? Morgan was last there in 2020. Who could he call? No one established is going to take that position for a few reasons. There very little talent on that side of the ball, so you're not getting the rockstar mercenaries to come here. They're probably going to struggle to bring in some hot up and comer, since anyone with ambition is going to see how Tepper handled evero's request to interview for other positions and not want to deal with that. That's a problem the team has created on its own and I don't know how to fix it until they have someone leave for a promotion, which is going to be difficult with how dogshit this franchise is. And then, any agent is going to tell their client that the Panthers let the whole defense eat poo heading into 2023 just to "give bryce weapons." they let two starters walk and traded away a third. who would want to come in to this? how are you going to build/retain talent? There's only a few logical possibilities from my perspective 1. Someone out of nowhere who just crushes their interview 2. Someone from a good defense promoted WAY earlier than they should be and you just hope for the best 3. Extend Evero. I know a lot of people hate this but I think it's going to be the best option. This is the problem with Canales as coach. I don't want to go into what I think about the offense in this post, today or as it projects, but it's just not going to be easy for him to assemble a staff, if he even has the power to do so. For all we know Morgan is handling all defensive positions and hires. unclear org charts are a hallmark sign of a poorly run organization. I dunno. i think it's lowkey the biggest problem on the team, even moreso than the QB position.

      Cardinals not firing anyone this week?

      Yup. Why pass when you can get 5.1 ypc, worst in the league and with the most attempts against, and are typically playing with a lead.
