What might be a fun video idea at some point could be doing an all-tfg team basically compiling all your highest rated players into what you think the nfl first/second team might be.
I figure the Giants (Titans & Cardinals) are gonna be the next 3 in whatever order. Man, I've seen footage of Slayton, Hiatt & Moore getting open, running Perfect Routes, getting YAC. Nabers is a pick for the future fs but they _need_ a QB badly & unless Lock has recovered from whatever they did to him in Denver, there is a _low_ ceiling on that position.
Very much appreciate the informed review + analysis. A lot of us in Carolina were feeling confident as well with the OL, but then Ekwonu/Christensen/Bozeman/Corbett/Moton ended up never all being on the field at the same time. You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned the bad luck as well... it was BRUTAL. T_T Incredibly excited for the team this coming year. Can't wait to see how Bryce, Icky, XL, Tremble, and the RBs all develop. I'm a little worried about the defense, especially the CBs, but can't wait to see how much they improve against the run.
As a non titans fan, they actually have a pretty solid roster. They’re a few injuries away from being really bad, sure, and if Levis isn’t good they’re not going anywhere. But, if Levis is good and if they stay mostly healthy (two very big if’s) they could make a wild card spot.
@@thebwahboi7616 Even if they're unexpectedly decent, they'd need 10 wins to get a wildcard spot in the AFC. Really unlikely to happen even staying healthy.
34:27 I will remember this play forever. It is seared into my memory in the same way that 2022 PJ Walker's Hail Mary is. 4th and 6, game on the line, winning is still a possibility. Just down by a touchdown, ball's in his hands. He checks to a different call, there's confusion at the line and especially from Chark, who is looking around like "WTF?" He snaps the ball, is immediately swarmed, chucks it to Chark at the sideline, he goes nowhere. Called game. I was awestruck, and so was David Tepper, who it was reported screamed an expletive coming out of his press box. Two hours later, the news broke that Frank Reich had been fired. This broke my rookie mystique of Bryce, trapped in a bad situation like a helpless little lamb. I love Bryce. I loved him coming out of college, I love him as my team's QB, and I love that all his mistakes are seemingly fixable, and can put him in the top third of this league with one good year. He's that dude. But that moment, where he was coached to do something wrong, did the wrong thing, and owned it post-game, was when I knew that he had a long way to go as a professional. Shoutout to the other notable lowlight from that game, Jonathan Mingo doing his best to toe-tap a catch *out of bounds* on a play that could have easily been a first down and then some if he had just slowed down. One of the most embarrassing plays I've ever seen all-22 of.
I can't even lie those 2 plays you mention be living rent free in my head and I'm a Pats fan btw. I really hope Bryce can bounce back because I just felt bad for him last year. That was David Carr Tim Couch levels of how to break a QB
Definitely Bryce’s play extension dissapointed me. I get it he had no chance but like I feel like you noticeably see how the better athletes effected how he could run around and extends plays
Just finished watching this video and I gotta say I just realized the level of depth you are going in these summer breakdowns. I am obviously a Panthers fan and every thing you touched on is spot on and the attention to detail with this series. After watching the first two I wasn't realizing the level of work needed to accomplish this. "Only" thing i would've change is that Piñero isn't participating in OTAs and the undrafted kicker out of Mizzou Harrison Melvis will probably be the starter(it's special teams, so I will give you a pass 😂). Other than that, i really enjoyed it and can't wait to see the next 29 summer breakdowns.
Panthers are my 2nd favorite team behind my Lions. Kinda my adopted team while the Lions were in the dark days. It’s been so tough watching them the last few years with all the players they have lost. Cam Newton, Christian McCaffrey, Greg Olsen, Steve Smith, Ryan Khalil, DJ Moore, Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel, Jeremy Chinn, Stefon Gilmore, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, Luvu and now Brian Burns Then they trade the first overall pick that ends up becoming Caleb Williams and other picks for Bryce Young, which sets them back several years more.
@@ThatFranchiseGuy but you ain't wrong. Last season was one of the most demoralizing seasons I ever experienced as a Panthers fan. So nightmare is correct. Video is great, just ribbing you a bit.
As a dolphins fan I think they should look into Xavien Howard, was a top 3-5 corner, of course has taken a step back cause of injuries but he’d be a good vet to get for this defense if it’s a cheap deal
@@ThatFranchiseGuy oh yea it hasn’t been the best but I think it’s all injuries. If he can stay healthy which is a huge if I think he can still be solid
Figured I’d mention the true reason why the Steelers got rid of Diontae for so little.. dude was a diva. From effort when it comes to blocking or complaining about his usage he’s had so many complaints. Getting a guy like that away from Pickens (who’s known to have his own few attitude issues) was a really wise decision. I’ll also add getting rid of a receiver in the late 20’s that will want close to 20 million when we draft receivers the way we do just seemed like the best option.
As a falcons fan, The problem with the panthers coaching staff was too many cooks in the kitchen with no cohesive schematics you had like 5 coaches all with different philosophy Reich is a Reid style guy The OC was a Shanahan guy The OL guy was from cincy I think The QB coach was from Houston Their was no clear vision and they had an oline designed to be a power style OL that then switched to zone want a perfect example of this issue Ikem Okwanu’s regression Reich was bad don’t get me wrong but you want the clear issue easily is one man TEPPER.
I still don't really have much faith in Bryce or this team as a whole, but even I'll admit that they had a fantastic offseason. They even killed the draft despite the limited capital
As a student assistant at Robert Morris and hearing you talk about coker as a small school guy who can do something at the pro level for next years draft take a look at Noah Robinson he’s a receiver he led the conference in yards and I think he could make it at the pro level
I personally think they had one of the best offseasons, and yes Bryce Young with Canales could take a MASSIVE leap forward in his development, but it's clearly gonna take at least a season and some change to gel together and become cohesive.
What i hope to see from the Panthers and Bryce this year is competency. Not expecting greatness, not expecting many wins. Just want them to look like a functioning team that's working towards getting better.
"He does target the middle of the field" - shows video of a pitch outside. Do you mean early career Alex Smith? If the Panthers can get KC Alex Smith out of Bryce, I think they'd probably be happy with that at this point?
find it interesting how when Rhule took over in 2020 they drafted all defense out of need and by the 2023/24 season they put out the offense they did... wonder if they could drop off defensively over the next few years with the heavy investment on offense this offseason and losses on defense
Man I’m so done with the little Bryce experiment. I was team Cj Stroud since the draft and knew he was gonna be a star…Though Bryce has showed some flashes, his arm is still too weak, he’s still too short, and he is just too much of a risky experiment to have been drafted 1st overall.. I mean, do the Panthers genuinely think little Bryce will be their franchise Qb for the next 5-10 years?.. I honesty can’t wait for when he’s benched for Andy Dalton mid-season….. but if he proves me wrong I’ll eat my words.
I agree with you on the OL I think they overpaid for Damien Lewis but this line is greatly improved. The guard play from last year was the main problem Ikey is a viable starter and I think he can get better.
One thing that is different about the Panthers compared to the Patriots is that they are not treating this as year 1 of a rebuild like the Patriots and Commanders are. The Patriots have the most effective cap space in the NFL with 44 million. The Commanders are in second (though a bit of a distant second) with 34 million effective cap space. The Panthers are 25th with 3.3 million effective cap space meaning if they need to add some LB or DB depth they may have to restructure some contracts and then they would still be wise to be price conscious. They have a whooping 29.7 million cap hit from Taylor Moton. If the wanted to restructure to say add a Stephon Gilmore to the corner back room, that is where they could get the cap space, but the only real way to restructure a player like Moton is to extend him and he is 29 (will be 30 before the season) so if this is a rebuild you may not want to extend him on a big money deal so that he is additionally locked in for his age 31, 32, and 33 seasons in addition to his age 30 season this year. It would make you better this year but take away flexibility for the three seasons after that.
I’m not nearly as high on Dave Canales as some others, he is just way too conservative and his best offense ranked in the high 20s league wide. Many Bucs fans are happy he’s gone. His run blocking scheme is just atrocious. I do like their free agency and especially their draft though.
45:35 “You’d see Bryce would finally have a good drive, and miles sanders would fumble the ball away” lmao. As an Eagles fan, this is instant vindication. I couldn’t believe anyone wanted to bring him back after he let scoring drives slip through his fingers game after game.
Good chance that Eddie isn’t even our kicker next year as we signed the guy who’s name I forget but got hype as the ‘thicker kicker’ I think. Anyway go panthers we’re winning the Super Bowl!

That hat caught me off guard hahaha
