Yeah, it also concerns me that it escalates the chances for revenge taken out when we actually play the game Friday.  Just doesn't seem to be a good idea at all.  I like that we seem to be the ones bringing the dog to the fight, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea knowing we have to play them Friday.

Saw some other sources saying the same thing

Seems to be getting some attention from national analysts

I read somewhere that the refs at practice are supposed to be enforcing this pretty heavily to help teams with the rule transition. 

Concern there is that Horn is known as kind of a "handsy" guy.

Full disclosure though: I'm not a huge fan of that particular emphasis anyway.

yeah that was one of his knocks coming out of college. I know we was working on it last year with coach Cooper. I think he did get flagged once for holding last year in his three games. Hopefully through growth and progression this wont plague him.

Yeah, and I could expect Rhule to not command enough respect or have enough control of his team to where that stuff would happen, but I'm particularly surprised that Belichick and all his gravitas is apparently idly standing by and allowing his team to get into it.

NGL, knowing what happened yesterday, and then them running joint kickoff drills, to where even a guy like Person is tweeting the drill is "stupid," I'm starting to wonder if this is all purposeful from Belichick and Rhule.  Almost like an old-fashioned, now outlawed Oklahoma Drill, in the guise of a joint practice, to toughen up their squads.  Otherwise, it makes zero sense.

Fitt needs to put an end to the bullshit.  After Darnold's showing today, the team steadily and progressively gravitating towards Baker as the leader and QB1, they just need to dump Darnold and give PJ and Corral those reps.  A lot more meaningful.  As many of us have been saying, there is no hope for Sam.  He is what he is.  Perhaps he can latch on somewhere as a backup or #3, but it shouldn't be here.  He is useless.

It would be dumb to just cut Sam at this point.  We've already gotta pay him 19 million dollars either way....might as well keep him around as the backup. Corral is obviously not ready for that role at this time, as much potential as I think he has.

The joint practice allows for very specific scenarios to be played out that aren't sure to happen in the game. The starters and those getting most reps in this will be held out of the game.

A good read about them

Ahh, good point.  I forgot about that...  I was thinking because it's the second preseason game, that had we not had joint practices, this would be more like the dress rehearsal that the 3rd PS game used to be.  But, yes, I forgot...  we have started using these sessions as the dress rehearsal instead, like we did with Indy last season, and why they said a lot of our guys like CMC would participate in the practices but not in the game...  yes, it all males sense now.  Brain fart on my part lol.

But still, I would be concerned about cheap shots and auch even with the depth guys.  It just doesn't seem to set a very good precedent.

Yeah and would be incredible value for a 4th round QB.  But the bar for him fetching major picks is probably a good bit higher than "better than what the Panthers have fielded in quite a while" lol.

Let's see how it goes. I'm betting I'm right.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
