Panthers coach Matt Rhule spoke with the media following today’s training camp practice, which consisted mostly of team drills inside the bubble.
Here are seven takeaways from Rhule’s Monday press conference.
A long post-scrimmage personnel evaluation
On Saturday, the team tried to get a taste of real NFL action by holding a scrimmage inside Bank of America Stadium. Teddy Bridgewater reportedly got off to a hot start and finished with a strong line. Christian McCaffrey was pulled early, as were several other important veterans on defense.
When it was over, Rhule says he and his staff spent seven-eight hours evaluating the personnel.

The personnel Rhule has been given by general manager Marty Hurney is a mixed bag. There’s only one true elite-level, exceptional talent. There are also several promising young pieces, a couple of reliable veterans and a bunch of reclamation projects who need a strong season to revive their careers.
