B&B's Day at Camp - Episode 2

Hello, you fucking fucks.





- Cam Newton is a MAJOR fucking star. There was a family from California that came to Spartanburg to see Cam. Not the Panthers. Cam Newton. He's Black Elvis. People are screaming and cheering him on relentlessly, even while he overthrows Kelvin Benjamin during 7 on 7. It's amazing to watch. Never in a million years did I think Carolina would have a player like this.




- Daryl Worley gives handjobs under a table at Olive Garden for free Edwin McCain tickets. He's looked better since that first horrific practice, but not by a whole lot. He got smoked on a post route by Kelvin, and had a few other plays that would have been flagged for PI or defensive holding.




- Bene was beaten twice by Damiere Byrd, once by KB, and once by something named Avis Capers. Bene had a bad day. He's not fast enough to play outside, and doesn't appear quick enough to be effective in the slot. Maybe he should move to safety. Or maybe he just shouldn't have been wearing sweatpants and a hoodie during a 90 degree, highly humid morning. I almost had heat stroke just watching him.


- Meh. That's my take on Bradberry so far. Just meh. I can tell that he's going to give up a lot of quick outs, slants, and hitches. I can also tell that he isn't going to give up too many deep plays. He's definitely the guy whom I'm least concerned about.




- Charles Johnson had a fat man's day off, so the first string D Line was Ealy at left end, Star and Short inside, and Wes Horton at right end. The second team was Delaire, Butler, Soliai/Kyle Love, and Addison. Soliai and Love split reps evenly and are obviously battling for the final spot.


- Butler is fucking massive. They practiced in shells today, so I don't think you can take away much from the line unless they're in full pads, but he certainly looks the part. Moves pretty well for a big son of a bitch. They had him running T/E stunts and he got around pretty effortlessly. We'll see.


- Patrick Swayze fucking sucks. Scifres appeared to earn a day off. No competition here.


- Brenton Bersin has been a really nice story. Local kid making the team. I certainly wish him the best for whatever the next chapter of his life holds.




- I fucking love my guy, Miles Shuler. He did quite a number on our fifth round pick, who fucking sucks by the way. He's a quick, quick, quick dude.


- I'm an unapologetic Ricky Proehl stalker. He's my favorite coach to watch during these practices. Wilks is also very good, although I feel pretty bad for him right now based of the shit we gave him to work with. You can tell he's having to explain shit to these players that he hasn't had to explain since he was coaching in college.

- Teddy Williams dropped a ball during individuals. And I'm pretty sure he's a lock for the final roster. Great! You just need guys like that on your football team, ya know?


- I've said some very nice things about Kelvin, but he looked pretty shitty today. I counted at least three drops. Damiere Byrd looked really good. I haven't seen anybody able to cover him when they do 1 on 1 drills, which certainly may be more of an indictment on our DBs.


- Shaq is still getting some run in DB drills. Looks like he might truly serve in that hybrid role they talked about when they drafted him.




- I saw Tolbert line up out wide once and run a go route. Holy shit, that was funny. Please do that at least once this year.


- Stephen Hill got some work at gunner. With his size and speed, I kind of think he'd be an excellent special teamer if he put his heart into it. We'll see how that goes. If I was the fat man, I'd take Byrd as my final WR right now, but let's see what happens in the preseason. Special teams should obviously be a major consideration for that final spot.


- Our third string center was wearing extra short shorts. What the fucking fuck? Was that some kind of rookie hazing? If so, why would they only have the third string center doing it? It's obviously something he did on his own, which means the rest of the team should have kicked his fucking ass. I didn't need to see that shit.

 

Look at me Hector

 

How do you earn money?

 

Can`t you find a Panthers` Walter White hat?
Did you get a chance to see any of the running backs?

 

How has Funchess looked?

 

That is a lot of F words but I applaud you for being honest about it!

 

Really good. He looked horrible last August. He's obviously figured a few things out over the last year. We'll see how that translates to the games.

 

Do we keep Ginn, Philly and Byrd? Or Byrd at expense of Philly?
Some overlap in size and skill set but I wouldn't be opposed

 

I can't imagine Byrd knocking Brown off of the roster. Honestly, Webb makes five receivers redundant anyway. The main reason for keeping a fifth on your 53 is so you don't lose him to waivers.

Garrett has been so lousy that you could probably stash him safely on the practice squad.
