What does Ikey Ekwonu need to do to have a bounce back year? Al gives his thoughts on how Coach Canales is different from the past few Panthers coaches. The Timberwolves try to stay alive against the Mavs.

The Carolina Panthers went to work to rebuild its offensive line this offseason. During free agency, the Panthers spent big money on Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis to take over as the teams starting guard. The Panthers also decided to keep Ickey Ekwonu at left tackle, in favor of moving him inside to guard, and brought back Taylor Moton for another season at right tackle. The remaining starting offensive line position will be held by Austin Corbett, who moves from right guard to center. Corbett has experience playing center but its limited to a few weeks during OTAs with the Los Angeles Rams. Considering his overall lack of experience and the regime change, will the Panthers look to draft a center? Julian Council discusses why he believes it's time. According to ESPN's Jordan Reid, there's a possibility that all of the starting caliber centers will be drafted prior to the 3rd round. Can the Panthers afford to wait until 65 to select a center?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!eBay MotorsFor parts that fit, head to eBay Motors and look for the green check.

Brian Burns tagged by the Carolina Panthers! How does upgrading at Guard help Ickey Ekwonu? Russel Wison will be released and Which of these top 2 QBs is more prepared to lead a franchise? Caleb Williams or Jayden Daniels?

Darin Gantt, Panthers.com, is in Indy and has Panther updates, aside from what Dave Canales and Dan Morgan mentioned yesterday. Why does Darin think replacing Ickey Ekwonu isn’t one of his top priorities? What if they put THIS person by him to help? Where are the Carolina Panthers with Brian Burns and his contract? If there’s a spot on Carolina’s defensive side of the ball that they NEED to get better, where is it?

Tim Donnelly says new Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and GM Dan Morgan have several personnel decisions to make this offseason, from offensive line and Ickey Ekwonu, to finding a No. 1 receiver for Bryce Young, to figuring out contracts with Brian Burns & Derrick Brown.

Darin Gantt, Panthers.com, on the recent hire of Dan Morgan and how he believes Dan will do in the GM position. Why was Dan Morgan hired? How does Darin think this will play out? How does Darin feel about Ickey Ekwonu? Why does Darin believe we shouldn’t tear everything down in Charlotte and rebuild it completely? Do we know what the schedule is when it comes to interviews for the head coaching position for the Carolina Panthers?

Heading into the 2023 season, the Carolina Panthers offensive line was viewed as a strength. The thought by then general manager Scott Fitterer was that he had invested enough in the offensive line over the previous two offseasons that there would be no issues placing a rookie quarterback in Bryce Young behind them. Well, Fitterer and this podcast host were wrong. While not all sacks can be credited to the offensive line, the Panthers allowed 65 sacks on the season, tied for second-most in the NFL, and severely regressed from what was viewed as a breakthrough 2022 campaign. Now, with a new GM on the way, the Panthers need to figure out what to do with this unit moving forward. All five starters from the 2022 season are under contract in 2024 and there are decisions to be made about each of their futures. One of the biggest issues the Panthers need to solve this offseason is determining the future of left tackle Ickey Ekwonu. After a solid rookie campaign, Ekwonu struggled in 2023 allowing 11 sacks, according to Pro Football Focus. Now, with a new coaching staff coming in and a new general manager there's questions about where Ekwonu best fits on the Panthers line moving forward. Should the Panthers move soon-to-be third-year left tackle Ickey Ekwonu inside to guard? If they do, will his replacement come from the draft or free agency? Would it be in the franchises best interest to make it work with Ekwonu at left tackle? Julian Council provides his road map to fixing the Carolina Panthers offensive line this offseason.

In one offseason the Carolina Panthers offensive line went from arguably its greatest weakness to its greatest strength. One of the major reasons why is second-year left tackle Ickey Ekwonu. The Panthers used their 2022 first-round pick to finally stop the annual churn at the left tackle position to select the hometown kid. In doing that, it appears the team has their franchise left tackle for the next decade. Coming off of a strong debut season, can Ekwonu deliver a Pro Bowl season this fall?One of the issues with Panthers offensive lines over the past handful of years is the inability to build continuity. While the Panthers added three new starters to the Week 1 unit, the team was finally able to field a healthy offensive line, starting only two combinations all season. Unfortunately, the injury bug bit at the worst possible time as starting right guard Austin Corbett tore his ACL in the season finale at New Orleans. Panthers head coach Frank Reich has already stated that the team expects to start Corbett on the PUP list. Second-year guard Cade Mays will likely start in his spot. How will Mays and the rest of the Panthers o-line handle Corbett's absence?With Corbett's expected absence, is there another fringe player who could earn his way onto the roster to start the season?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!FanDuelMake Every Moment More.

What is Dave Doeren really like? Is he as much of a jerk as Clemson fans like to think? Joe Giglio has covered N.C. State since Doeren's arrival in late 2012 and says the coach hasn't been easy to get to know during his long tenure in Raleigh. Giglio, formerly a longtime newspaper guy who is currently a radio talk-show host and contributor to WRAL TV, joined the podcast on the drive home from Clemson to talk about what Clemson's convincing victory meant for Doeren and the Wolfpack. A passage from the column Giglio wrote from Death Valley late Saturday night: While winning is in Clemson's DNA, NC State's double helix is laced with wasted shots and what-could-have-beens. Much of the '21 State team, which finished 9-3 overall and 6-2 in the ACC, came back for one more crack at the elusive ACC crown. The two main players that didn't — All-American left tackle Ickey Ekwonu and receiver Emeka Emezie — are proving to be a huge void to fill. Clemson's defensive front, even without injured star Bryan Bresee, dominated the Wolfpack blockers on Saturday night. “They won the line of scrimmage,” NC State coach Dave Doeren said. “Their D-line played really good.” The Tigers also got a bounce here and made a break there. That's what good teams do. Dabo Swinney's coaching staff has changed but the concepts remain solid. The basic premise — ride your stars, die with your fastball — remains as true as the ride down Route 76 into town is long and filled with radar guns.  

The Carolina Panthers open their 2022 season with a gut-wrenching, 26-24, loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Panthers battled back to take a 24-23 lead with 1:13 left thanks to a 34-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro. The Browns responded with a six-play, 35-yard drive capped by rookie Cade York's 58-yard field. Two questionable penalties aided the Browns final drive.

The Carolina Panthers open their 2022 season with a gut-wrenching, 26-24, loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Panthers battled back to take a 24-23 lead with 1:13 left thanks to a 34-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro. The Browns responded with a six-play, 35-yard drive capped by rookie Cade York's 58-yard field. Two questionable penalties aided the Browns final drive.

Early reports on Monday from Benjamin Allbright stated that the Carolina Panthers were trying to shop quarterback Sam Darnold but teams across the league weren't interested in Darnold at his current $18.8 million price tag. Allbright and others later refuted the report as did Panthers GM Scott Fitterer and head coach Matt Rhule. Either way, things are beginning to trend strongly in Baker Mayfield's favor as the Panthers quarterback competition rolls onto the first week of the preseason. Julian Council lists what is true about the current quarterback situation in Carolina.Matt Rhule has been hesitant to hand out jobs to anyone so far during Training Camp. That includes first-round rookie left tackle Ickey Ekwonu who Rhule has stated several times has a ways to go in his development. Recently, Ekwonu has been seeing more reps with the first team at left tackle leading Rhule to say on Monday that the team would be "more aggressive giving him reps" moving forward. Is Ekwonu finally solidifying himself as the team's starting left tackle?Plus, an injury update and more clues that Mayfield is starting to win over the Panthers locker room.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DaveDownload the Dave app from the App store right now for an Extra Cash account and get up to 500 dollars instantly.

Baker Mayfield shines, again, as Sam Darnold simply doesn't measure up. We'll share our observations from Day 11 of Panthers Camp, including some eye-popping plays from Hollywood Higgins, an update on Ickey Ekwonu's emergence at LT, the defensive structure under Phil Snow, and a first glance and the team's recently released depth chart--what it means, what it doesn't.

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule is staying patient on making any depth chart decisions as competitions heat up a week into Training Camp. Julian Council explains why Rhule actually has a good reason not to rush personnel decisions.One player that isn't running with the first team that has fans concerned is rookie Ickey Ekwonu. Rhule has maintained that the sixth overall pick will have to earn his spot on the Panthers starting offensive line. In the meantime, Taylor Moton has taken up a role as a mentor for Ekwonu, highlighting a few things that he has to improve on to reach the level Rhule is expecting. Julian recalls how the start of Moton's career in Carolina is similar to Ekwonu's at this current stage.Plus, the Panthers will scrimmage in pads for the first time on Saturday.

The Carolina Panthers offensive line competition ramped up on Monday morning as the pads went of for the first time at Training Camp. The depth of the offensive line should be a strength for Carolina in time once the team defines roles for the unit. Currently, Brady Christensen is receiving all of the first-team reps at left tackle which has left many Panther fans upset about first-round pick Ickey Ekwonu being slotted with the second-team. Julian Council detailed why Panther fans should remain patient and buy into Matt Rhule's "long view" approach to the offensive line.Second-year cornerback Jaycee Horn was activated from the PUP list on Monday. Horn only participated in individual drills before spending the rest of practice on the stationary bike. How much should Horn play in the preseason? Should the Panthers take a similar approach to Horn as they have with Christian McCaffrey?Plus, a quick update on the QB competition and how Deshaun Watson's suspension impacts the expectations for the Panthers heading into their Week 1 matchup vs. Cleveland.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!DaveDownload the Dave app from the App store right now for an Extra Cash account and get up to 500 dollars instantly.

The 2022 position breakdowns continue with an evaluation of the Carolina Panthers offensive line, tight ends, and special teams units heading into the 2022 season.It's no secret that the Panthers had one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL in 2021. Heading into the offseason, Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer made the position group a priority. Fitterer delivered by signing several veterans who excelled at their previous stops and using the team's first-round pick on a left tackle, Ickey Ekwonu. Will the Panthers offensive line go from a weakness to a strength?The Panthers have utilized its tight ends less than the entire NFL since Matt Rhule arrived in 2020. With the addition of offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo there is a growing sentiment that the unit will see an increased role in the passing game this fall. But is there anyone on the roster capable of being a threat in the passing game? Ian Thomas has been named a breakout candidate for several years and has yet to live up to the hype. Tommy Tremble has the ability but has never been in such a role. What can fans reasonably expect from the Panthers tight ends in 2022?Undoubtedly, special teams has played a key role in several Panthers losses the past few season, leading to the ouster of former coordinator Chase Blackburn. Replacing Blackburn is Chris Tabor, who annually produced top ten special teams units in Chicago. Can Tabor turn around this unit?After place kicking being a major concern heading into the year, Zane Gonzalez stabilized the position during a career year. Can Gonzalez buck the trend of his up-and-down nature?Plus, Johnny Hekker and Andre Roberts bring All-Pro pedigree.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Carolina Panthers wrapped up mandatory minicamp with a pseudo-Fan Fest as the team practiced inside Bank of America Stadium in front of friends and family.The offense was the story of the day as both quarterbacks, Sam Darnold and Matt Corral, excelled during the team's red zone period.Following practice, Panthers head coach Matt Rhule wrapped up the offseason as the team takes a five-week hiatus before beginning training camp at Wofford. Rhule applauded general manager Scott Fitterer for the job that he's done building the roster this offseason. One of those additions is Corral, who Rhule states needs to continue to improve at the pre-snap portion of the position but said that "the arrow's pointing up for him." Corral echoed Rhule's sentiment by stating that he needs to nail down the mental aspect of the game. Does this suggest that Corral will unlikely be ready to lead the Panthers offense by Week 1? Can Corral catch up in time to challenge Darnold during training camp?The Panthers quarterback situation remains in limbo. Carolina has passed it's "soft deadline" of trading for Baker Mayfield. Does the team now move forward with Darnold, Corral, and P.J. Walker?Plus, second-year offensive lineman Brady Christensen took first-team snaps at left tackle during OTAs and minicamp. Rhule said that he's not sure who will start at left tackle when training camp begins. Is it possible that Christensen will be the left tackle in Week 1 instead of Ickey Ekwonu?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Carolina Panthers wrapped up the final week of OTAs and will transition to mandatory minicamp next Tuesday-Thursday. Julian Council is back for another edition of the Weekly Friday Mailbag. This week's questions include whether Matt Corral has the potential to be as good as Dak Prescott, with both having similar seasons during their senior years playing in the SEC; along with a question of if the Panthers would re-sign Sam Darnold, barring that the quarterback has a strong season, and what a potential contract for Darnold would look like.Plus, questions about if the Panthers made a mistake re-signing P.J. Walker, if fans need to dial back expectations for Ickey Ekwonu, how many rounds of golf does Matt Rhule need to save his job, the best look for Ben McAdoo, and more.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

Sticking with the Draft, Peter lists his most interesting 'players' as teams prepare for the Draft.  The Packers need to make some moves and the table explores what needs to be done.  Moving to the AFC, the table asks if the Broncos are the biggest question mark in the crowded Conference.  We wrap up with a conversation with Draft Prospect Ickey Okwonu, who reveals his preparations to play in the NFL.
