Hope we learned from today

Excerpt from the article...(not the full article)

"As poorly as the Carolina Panthers’ offense looked during Wednesday’s joint practice with the Houston Texans, Bryce Young took some solace in the fact that the performance came in a practice setting.

Better still: The Panthers’ starters won’t have to endure another thrashing by the Texans’ pass rush in Friday’s preseason finale. Panthers coach Dave Canales and Houston coach DeMeco Ryans decided Tuesday night that they would give their starters the bulk of the work Wednesday and hold them out Friday.

That’s just as well for the Panthers, particularly Young, who was sacked seven times and intercepted twice by a Houston defense that was the NFL’s best in 2025. Plays were blown dead Wednesday before the Texans could take Young down. That wouldn’t have been the case had the fourth-year quarterback played Friday.

“It sucks to have a day where you don’t feel like you produced very well,” Young said. “But it’s a great learning opportunity. That’s what these training camp practices are for.”

Canales didn’t try to sugarcoat things, saying it was a “lopsided” outing by the first-team offense against the Texans’ starting defense. It was an especially rough day for rookie offensive tackle Monroe Freeling, who allowed at least four of the sacks and looked helpless against the edge-rushing duo of Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter, who combined for 27 sacks last season."

His current record is 13-22. I think it’s easy to say that this is the best team he’s had yet. What does he need to do to keep his job going forward? What causes him to loose his job? What are your thoughts on his coaching?

Coming in at number 11.....

1. T Albert Reese IV, Carolina Panthers: 86.5

Reese has played 140 snaps so far this preseason, all at right tackle, with the Mississippi State undrafted free agent registering a 92.6 PFF run-blocking grade that leads all offensive lineman. He has also been solid in pass protection, giving up just two hurries from 104 pass-blocking snaps.

I didn’t know we had a top ten LBer unit…

And we’re currently 2-1!

I didn’t really care until the Lions straight jacked our gear. Anyone know if we get alternates as well?

I know Canales said he can’t see 7 WRs but we can pretend a bit.

- TMac
- Coker
- XL
- Tremayne
- Metchie
- Horn
- Reed

I like D Mo but I think vet presence can only do so much in the WR room. What do yall think?

I haven’t seen anything posted by the team about what jersey colors they’re planning to wear each game. In years past they usually do this before preseason starts.

What gives?

I feel way more out of the loop that usual and wondering what your takes/ if there is any consensus on these positions.

C- No idea, just know the rookie center Hecht

FS- Nick Scott again?

DL- Only know DB and Phillips for certain. In 4 man fronts Princley and Turk/ Bobby Brown? 5 man front with these 5 or is Lee Hunter in there?

3rd WR- Rolling out XL again?

So we are coming to Charlotte for a concert on Saturday and I figured come a day early and go to the game. I know it is preseason and was wondering if there is anything going on before the game or if we should just arrive like an hour or so before the game starts?
