still not much here but it's something...

 

i'll update if i see stuff to update. don't expect much, tho.

Rivera says Steve Smith looks like he's 25 again, diving for a few balls yesterday

 

jjones9

Beason is limited, as expected. He'll do individual workouts but no more

Ron Rivera says all 90 players present and accounted for at OTAs, w/ several limited by injury--Kalil, Stewart, Gross, Beason, Capt.

 

josephperson

Rivera said Captain has a "tummy strain," ie, ab strain.

 

 

 

 

 

I'll stick these here:

 

 

New #Panthers CB Drayton Florence makes presence known w/ a pick of a deep Cam throw.

 

 

Cam makes an over-the-shoulder catch of a long punt during lighter OTA moment.

Josh Norman just made a great INT. deep ball from Cam intended for Ginn and Norman laid out. Got the wind knocked out of him

 

Watching Panthers practice here at OTA's. Guy wearing 59 is already the leader of the defense. Always working. Always.

 

Rivera on last year's Defensive Rookie i the Year Luke Kuechly: "Whoever coached him before he got here did a hell of a job." #Panthers

 

 

Panthers wrap up week 1 of OTAs, Ron Rivera impressed with the slimmed down Greg Hardy, says he had to tell him to tone down intensity.

 

 

and i'll stick these here, lol.

thanks, OnlyPantherFaninMaine.

 

 

good news re: gettis

David Gettis on the field today for Panthers, Ron Rivera - "he's coming back...he's had a couple nice days, we need that competition"

#Panthers LB Jon Beason didn't get any work in team drills. But he ran 20 50-yard sprints after practice. Seemed to look good.

 

josephperson

Former #Oregon TE (and Portland Bible College hoopster) Brandon Williams was held out with a knee injury he sustained earlier this week.

 

josephperson

#Panthers DE Greg Hardy lost some bulk this offseason, down to 283 from 290 and change. Says it's all about speed this yr. @ItsGHardy

 

the krakan on speed? i'll take it.

@jjones9: Oh, a list of five impressions from the Panthers OTAs, you ask? All right http://t.co/t14Tnh15Am

 

 

@Panthers: Kuechly's goal: “Win as many games as we can. We have to do whatever we can to do that. We have the pieces, we just have to put it together”

I fully expect to not see Smith in any per season games. Dude is a stud but needs rest.

 

he won't.

 

i love the energy and enthusiasm, but i'm worried about him getting hurt before the season even starts.

      Trade options

      By Waldo · Posted

      That's what I meant when I said would rather have that kind of player on a rookie deal. Vs a guy coming off of it is what I didn't say. Again, if the team wasn't in such need of meaningful talent then overpaying a little for an older blocking TE the coach could trust wouldn't be unusual. Giving up more than 1 pick is just dumb given the situation for us tho and there is still repairing what that last cap guy did before they can hit normal opperating IMO. Spending money like the peak Saints with so little talent was not a good combo.

      We need 2 tes if we don't resign tremble.  And Mayer is a several year vet so it's not like we'd have 3 rookies in the te room.  Just spitballin here

      I’ve been holding out on this because I knew I would just be called a homer. I’m sure some will still say I am and that we shouldn’t care about the underwear Olympics without seeing the tape. That being said…. this guy is an absolute freak. 6’3 220, 43” vertical, and 4.38 unofficial 40. And I can tell you I am not surprised in the slightest by following him since he was an under recruited high schooler putting up 232 tackles, 4 sacks, and 8 forced fumbles his senior year of high school (ONE YEAR!). He developed into the leader on the defense and was always the one making clutch plays.  He is going to be the Luke Kuechly for a defense at safety for a decade. I expect some team will draft him top 15, maybe even top 10. I go back and forth on whether you use a top 10 pick on a safety but at the end of the day, I think you pick a superstar no matter what position. I would prefer us get a top pass rusher or maybe even WR but I would be thrilled to land Nick E if we don’t get one of those guys. Would much rather have him over a guy like Jaylon Walker who is super intriguing but doesn’t have the production to back it up.
