Panthers Training Camp to be One Week Shorter

Today, we actually have some news about training camp.  This is a bit earlier than I expected training camp news to be coming down the pike, to be honest.  Generally schedules are released, then there is the basic banter about the schedules, and then things die down until about a week or so before camp, when everyone gets totally amped about the season (and even the preseason), and every article takes on an urgency they haven’t had since last season’s playoffs.  But today things are different.  We have this quite oddly-timed article detailing the fact that the Carolina Panthers spring training is one week shorter than usual this year.

The reason for th shortening of the camp is simple - the Panthers have trimmed the fat.  They have less players to train and therefore believe it will take less time to properly train them.  I love this idea for a few reasons.  First of all, it will give the entire Panthers camp a sense of urgency that they would not have had otherwise.  Second, the Panthers are acting as though they don’t need that extra week.  I like that confidence in this group.  The Panthers need to regain their Super Bowl swagger, and this could help them, for sure.
