Bengals were in a similar situation.  Their best lineman was the LT, he was just above average, but still.  That may have played into why they went Chase, that, and the fact they lost AJ Green and the Marshal injury history.

I didn't like Sewell as much as most (I wouldn't have screamed and hugged my HC as the GM when I drafted him), but he's surely a mouldable piece of clay. He hasn't played football in like 15 months and he's so young - if he moves to the RT position he's got to stick there for mine. Can't then ask him to re-learn his footwork in Year 2 to switch to LT.

Training Camp Notebook: Just Play Ball | Carolina Blitz

"

The team scrimmaged more Thursday than any other day during training camp.

Sam Darnold showed off his ability to scramble to extend drives. During one possession the first-team quarterback kept a drive going with his feet, gaining 4 yards and a 1st down. Darnold also rushed for 7 yards on 2nd down during a different possession.

The Panthers struggled mightily in the red zone last year. The team worked specifically on that yesterday and today. Rhule acknowledged that on both days the offense “functioned well” in those situations.

Carolina Panthers training camp: 5 observations from practice Day 8 (catcrave.com)
"

Carolina Panthers LB Clay Johnston’s first-team reps
...
Denzel Perryman and Shaq Thompson weren’t able to recover from injuries quickly enough to participate fully, leaving the former seventh-round pick with a firm chance to stamp his mark in drills.

Johnston is going to be a fun player to watch in the preseason. His boundless enthusiasm for football came across in a big way with the Los Angeles Rams on HBO’s Hard Knocks last summer and although it wasn’t enough to make the team, he was part of the Panthers practice squad all of last season.
 

This is a solid foundation from which to build in pursuit of making the roster in 2021. Johnston is familiar with Matt Rhule from their time together in college and working with the “1s” was another big boost to his confidence ahead of warmup games.

The chances of Johnston cracking the starting lineup appear slim.

Jermaine Carter seems to be the starter at inside linebacker with Perryman also a key member of the rotation. But making the roster will be a massive achievement for the enthusiastic Johnston regardless.

It’s a small step. But in Johnston’s mind, a pretty significant one.

Carolina Panthers OLB Julian Stanford 
...

Shaq Thompson and Denzel Perryman haven’t been risked due to minor injuries. This has allowed Stanford to see time with the 1s and he’s been a constant presence at the second level, really catching the eye according to those observing from the hill.

This is a big boost to Stanford’s chances of making the team. Carolina isn’t blessed with the greatest depth behind the top quartet, so he could be a surprise contributor with a full offseason with the Panthers to call upon this time around.

I hate Teddy as a quarterback in the NFL but he was right about this coaching staffs. They are a bunch of college newbs leaning how to be pro coaches. That’s what happens when you hire nothing but guys that never coached in the NFL. 

based on the lack of an off-season last year?

Jones isn't dressed for practice today. On site in a cap tho.

From Rhule with the media today:

Is Daquan kind of a veteran day off?
Yeah yeah I gave him a vet day... I watched him with tape yesterday he's sprinting to the ball down the field …I gave him today so he went lifted and then got a little rehab and came out  .

Man, I hope Darnold can put it together mentally. He throws such a good ball with nice touch.

There's enough data to support that Darnold is a better QB than commonly thought.  Sam's int% was 3.0% last year. There are examples where QBs moved to a better team with a better scheme and dropped their int% from ~3% down to ~2%.    

Darnold and the jets beat two teams with winning records (ie good teams) last year.  How many did we beat last year?

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      I mean.....his guy has to be someone willing to come so Geno Smith is out. If you mean RUSSELL Wilson, that is laughable. Fields and ZACH Wilson are just basically the beginning of the end. These aren't likely to be Geno Smith turnarounds. Fields is further proving that he just isn't much more than a gimmick player. Zach Wilson still probably needs a year or two under some better circumstances before I would consider him a candidate for being a turnaround. He is just jumping straight back into the NY Jets fire here.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.
