Gary Barnidge really helping out his teammates on kickoff returns. Doing a lot of teaching. Smart kid.

Third-team OL really struggling with blitz pickup.

Clausen to Edwards for a nice gain.

C.J. Wilson is giving up too many pass completions. He may get shuffled out this year if some rookie CBs step up.

Coaches got on DT Ed Johnson when he slapped at rookie QB Jimmy Clausen as he ran through the line. QBs aren't to be touched.

Man, if we have a great year this year, the Panthers will be a dynasty for years to come.

[The Saltman]

I love your optimism but Dynasty??

A lot folks wondering about sixth-round pick WR David Gettis. He just hasn’t flashed much and dropped an easy pass today. Probably not among the top six receivers at camp

CB C.J. Wilson seems to be struggling a bit in pass coverage. He gave up two passes in a short period of time

Yes. If we have a good year, then I say we will be a Dynasty. These young, fast players will only get better.

Has Big Cat been out there or is he expected to be there anymore?

I know he was there Saturday cruising around on his golf cart and talking with Steve Smith. I think Carter almost kicked a ball into his golf cart.

Whoever wrote Gettis hasnt flash much hasnt watched much. He ran a a route today and did a little stutter step and torched his man for a touchdown. This guy looks good in my opinion, for what its worth.

I still cant say enough about Wallace Wright. I could see him easily being in the top three receivers. Runs great routes with alot of speed, gets good seperation and isnt afraid to go after the ball. His catch today was awesome. Fought his man for the ball in the air and wouldnt take no for an answer.

It was Reed, He did something Similar the first or second day of camp. Made a nice Sideline catch and then the stutter step and blew his guy up today...Those are definitely flashes and Gettis is going to be inconsistent at this point...A project definitely worth keeping around. His size and speed are a rare combination.

I'm also really excited about Wright. I initially had only thought he'd contribute to special teams, but it sounds like he's doing well in camp. I loved hearing this in a recent article:

"I don't think anybody's happy just playing special teams," Wright said from his home in Dallas, Texas. "You have to have goals, you have to push yourself, and that's what makes the game fun.

"I want to be starter at wide receiver in the NFL. That's always been my goal and I've fallen short. I've played a lot, but everybody's looking for that starting position."

Motivation and drive isn't everything, but sometimes it can be the difference maker. I think his dedication will pay off this year.

Yeah the people that think we're gonna cut him are fools
