Panthers notes from KFFL

June 3.

The last I heard was that the practices were going to be for 3 weeks - monday thru thursday.

If I hear anything else, I'll post it.

 

Woo hoo! It's like manna!

8:24 PT: Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports for the Sporting News Carolina Panthers QB Chris Weinke will have a big say in how much the team uses the shotgun formation. The plan is to experiment with the formation in June coaching sessions and training camp to see what plays Weinke likes running from the shotgun. Weinke had a lot of success in college with the formation.


8:22 PT: Pat Yasinskas, of the Charlotte Observer, reports for the Sporting News Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Dan Henning wants to maximize the skills of WR Muhsin Muhammad in his new offense. One of Henning's challenges will be finding ways to force defenses to loosen the coverage on Muhammad. Given the Panthers WR situation, Muhammad will be facing many double team situations.

 

3 week minicamp? Thats a little long, ain't it? We need it tho. THanks for the info.

 

We'll just see about that. Come June 1st, I'm still hopeful we can get a legitimate #2 guy in here, possibly one good enough to take on a #1 role, from time to time.
