2022 Carolina Panthers Training Camp Day 1 Reactions: Battle Between Sam Darnold vs. Baker Mayfield Begins: The Panthers hit the practice field for the first time in Training Camp on Wednesday afternoon. Both Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield evenly split the reps during 7-on-7 with Darnold working with the first team and Mayfield working with the second. Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that the two would flip units on Thursday as he tries to gauge which will lead his team out of the tunnel Week 1 vs Cleveland. Meanwhile, Matt Corral and PJ Walker only received three snaps a piece. Is this what's to be expected moving forward? How might this impact Corral's development? The Panthers entered camp with Shaq Thompson as the lone player on the Physically Unable to Perform, or PUP, list. That list grew as second-year corner Jaycee Horn was added after suffering from soreness in his previous injured foot. Horn wasn't the only corner absent as veteran Rashaan Melvin retired on Wednesday. Sho by Locked On Panthers - Daily Podcast On The Carolina Panthers

How the Portland Trail Blazers can finish Top 5 in the West: The Portland Trail Blazers want to be a competitive playoff team this season. But getting there is going to be a challenge. Luckily, one brave podcast has plotted the course for the Blazers to become a top 5 team in a crowded Western Conference. It starts with Damian Lillard playing like Damian Lillard. Then throw in the continued rise of Anfernee Simons and the Blazers have the quick makings of one of the best offenses in the NBA. But the question is on the other side of the court. If the Blazers are going to be a top playoff team they have to be a top 10 defense in the NBA. It's non-negotiable. If they don't check that box, they're likely in the play-in or worse. Finally, Jusuf Nurkic has to be available for 70 or more games and the Blazers commitment to small ball has to work out. If either of those things don't come to fruition, it likely leads to struggles for the Blazers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Shaedon Sharpe Shows Why He's A Future Star in his First NBA Start: Shaedon Sharpe is going to be good. Probably very good. Maybe great. In his first NBA start the Portland Trail Blazers rookie gave fans plenty to be excited about with a few show stopping highlight dunks and a couple smooth-as-butter pull up jumpers. He's 19. He's going to be good. In the second segment I continue my quest to get to know Sharpe better. He's a quiet kid who is a apparently funny and well liked behind the scenes. While his game is loud his demeanor couldn't be more opposed. Which is why I set out to ask Chauncey Billups what it has been like to coach the teenager for last few months. Plus, a couple anecdotes about watching Sharpe learn the NBA game in real time. He's going to be good. The third segment is news and notes. Jusuf Nurkic was really good in this game and dominated a team couldn't match up with his size. That's a good sign. Anfernee Simons was awesome but his weaknesses were on display late ag by Locked On Blazers – Daily Podcast On The Portland Trail Blazers

Assessing the Portland Trail Blazers core: From Lillard to Little where does Portland stand: The Portland Trail Blazers want to be competitive right away to begin next season. So with that in mind let's assess the core pieces of their roster to figure out how they go from where they are today to where they intend to be in the fall. Damian Lillard is still going to be a "true beast," as he recently anointed himself on social media. When healthy Lillard has been one of the best offensive players in the league and there's plenty of reason to believe he still has that level of play in his bag. So if Portland has it's star as step one of the core building, what about the rest of the roster? Is Jusuf Nurkic a Top 10 center in the NBA? Is he good enough to overcome small ball heavy postseason basketball? What about Anfernee Simons? Did his breakout season show us enough to think he can be a No. 2 option on a team that makes the conference finals? And finally what about the Blazers wing group? by Locked On Blazers – Daily Podcast On The Portland Trail Blazers

What Is The Trail Blazers Best Lineup?: The offseason is still humming along in the NBA, but after a week of free agency movement and roster changes it's time to ask: What is the Trail Blazers best lineup heading into the 2022-23 season. This episode takes a look at the presumed starting lineup of Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons, Nassir Little, Jerami Grant and Jusuf Nurkic. Along with the likely bench contributors in Josh Hart, Gary Payton II, Justise Winslow and Trendon Watford. What about Shaedon Sharpe or Greg Brown III? Where would Drew Eubanks fit? We get into all the rotation questions that Portland still has to answer before opening night.

Locked on Jets 5/28/19 Episode 642: The Top Five Jets on Rookie Contracts: I hope everybody had a good weekend. We are back today with another top five offseason Tuesday podcast. Today we are taking a look at the young talent on the roster. The NFL is a league where it is essential to draft and develop young talent. Super Bowl teams are built on homegrown impact players. The Jets' recent lack of success goes back to the team's poor drafting. There is a bit of light on the horizon. Years of being near the bottom of the league has provided the team with a number of top ten picks who can form the foundation of a turnaround. Today we are looking at the top five players on the Jets on rookie contracts who will help the team rise over the next few years. Rookie contracts are a bit tricky to judge. Leonard Williams is entering his fifth year and still technically on his rookie deal, while Robby Anderson, entering his fourth year, is not and is thus ineligible for the list.

Overreactions from the Portland Trail Blazers 1st game: Shaedon Sharpe is For Real + Small Ball Wins: You may have seen people overreact to the Portland Trail Blazers season opening win against the Sacramento Kings. It's natural. But you've never seen someone overreact quite like this. This is how the pros do it. The first overreaction: Shaedon Sharpe is the truth and should be the Blazers starting small forward from here on out. The second absolute truth that is definitely not an overreaction: Portland should start with small ball look and embrace tiny ball, moving Jusuf Nurkic to the bench. Then we get serious and talk about real lessons from one basketball game. It's fun and maybe a little informative too. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

New Orleans Saints Still Alive In Wild NFC Playoff Race: The New Orleans Saints aren't out of the NFC playoff race yet thanks to a wild and unpredictable NFL season. The Los Angles Rams loss to the San Francisco 49ers is an example of just how unprecedented the NFL has been this season, particularly the NFC. Now, the New Orleans Saints, even at 5-4 are still well within the conversation for a post season appearance. But they'll have to get out of their own way in order to take advantage. Is a playoff exit better than better NFL Draft positioning in 2022? Appealing to free agents might be the better path than a potential long-term development option at rookie. How the Saints loss to the Titans looks by the numbers. Marshon Lattimore struggles, Trevor Siemian and Ryan Tannehill distribute the ball effectively, but one key difference might have hurt the Saints' production.
