WHY THE **** DOES IT SOUND LIKE A PHILLY HOME GAME IN OUR OWN **** STADIUM?!!

Lol it does matter if he’s a nutcase. I don’t care about Arnold but don’t like the 3rd rd pick if he is already acting like that in really only one season. Sorry if I’m not excited but I’m going to have to see it first. 

Not to add more gasoline to the fire... but when we signed him I started watching his press conferences to see what kinda guy he is, and this little tidbit slipped in this interview when asked whats it like to pick off a pass from Phillip Rivers... starts at 1:28 and the quote at 1:38...

But I'm gonna trust the process and hope Rhule can light that passion under his ass, especially being around D-Jax, Horn and Chinn. So far every move they've made that I questioned has turned out well, or at least as good as expected, so I'll give him a chance.

But if not, and he turns out to be another KB, then I'd hate to lose a 3rd for a guy who doesn't love the game and put the work in.

You can call it premature to make this comparison, but Burns and Reddick remind me a lot of when Indy had Mathis and Freeney. And then on top of that we have a great DT group and great players in the secondary. If we can find a way to keep Reddick, Fox and Jones as well as the studs we drafted this defense is going to be legendary. 

Or our version, which was Kevin Greene and Lamar Lathon. They're just flying like they did.

Yup, thats what I was thinking most of the 4th quarter too.

Some news: This past week was my last with @theobserver. I'm excited to announce that I am now covering the Buffalo Bills for ESPN. Another Panthers-Bills transaction (of sorts) in the books.

Damn, I really liked her too. Good for her, but can we actually keep some good reporters instead of most of these slapdick ones?

Deonte Brown with the massive block for the TD, moved pretty good to slide to his spot

christensen is on the LEFT!!

I think he's still green in his playcalling at times, especially in the 2nd half when pressures on and you need to drive down the field, bit like others have stated he's learning. So as long as our offense keeps trending upward, then I'll consider it.

But am I the only one that kinda gets a Chudzinski vibe from him? Another labeled genius that looked the part the first season, then fell into the dumpster the next before taking the Browns job.

So Kevin has largely worked as a tight end coach on the offensive side. So will he be working with the defense regarding how to defend Tight ends or how to scheme against various offenses  or what??

Remember Matt Rhule worked both sides of the ball as well, and he's said he wants his coaches to be able to know as well because it only makes them better coaches. Which is why he made DB coach go to WR meetings, D line to O Line, etc. The more tools you can add to your tool chest just makes you a better coach imho.

Bringing in more coaches with NFL bloodlines. Couldn't hurt, I approve.

Is that 3 now on staff? There's Tony Sparano's kid, Mike Lombardi's kid and now Gilbride.

I would lean more towards bloodlines as well. Look how fast Chinn adapted, with his uncle being Steve Atwater; or Jaycee Horn and his dad Joe Horn, and he's had the right mindset; Christian McCaffery etc etc

Works with coaches too, maybe to a lesser degree. But they know what's expected because they were raised in it and have the right mindset.

Yeah I think people overreacted about this situation.

Yep, it was a slow news month apparently.

Sometimes it feels like Jerry Springer is still on the air with what we see out there.

The only reason I could see us not resigning him next year is because DJs in a contract year too, and since he's home grown, younger, and balling, they might not be up to the prospect of paying 2 wide receivers 10+million contracts.

I'd hate to see him go, so I hope it doesn't come to this.

their 1st round pick in 2022 for Terrace Marshall Jr. Like, now before he ever hit training camp or the regular season because Jerry loved him so much and regretted missing out on him.

I mean I like him, he might turn out great, but he has a long injury history and as of right now, untested in the NFL. So I think I'd be okay with this hypothetical to double up our 1st round picks next year and get more draft capital for Fittsmagic to work with.

What would you guys think if this happened?

Deonte reported in at mini-camp at 347 pounds. He was 364 pounds at the Senior Bowl, and that extra weight hurt his performance imo. Deonte may never be able to get down to 330 pounds, but maybe he can take off a few more and get to 340.

We absolutely don't want Deonte playing a full NFL season anywhere near the 364 pounds he used to be. The 347 he is at now might be close to as low as he is ever going to be especially as he adds muscle in the NFL strength and conditioning program. Think what this monster will turn into with NFL level weight lifting.

All I'm saying is if he can move like that with a basketball at 415... imagine what he can do now at under 350?

Came across this Alabama spotlight, and it shows clips of him playing basketball... at 400 lbs. That big boys got some moves, so I'm glad to see he's not just a sit and maul kinda guard, he can actually move and has some athleticism to probably get out there at the second level to block.

No connection with Fitterer that I've found, but his dad was a runningbacks coach at Ohio State when Pat Stewart was there.

Yeah could be. But it'd also be refreshing and different for people to just get interviewed and hired based on their merit and not based on friendship or association. Very refreshing, maybe almost 4D chess compared to the other 31 teams.

Seems like a cool dude that grew up on football. Not sure if there is any connection between him and Fitterer or someone else in that department, but wanted to dig up anything I could find and came up with this video when he was still with the WFT

I really don't care about in depth war room coverage. Tell me about the players after you select them and entertain me on the field. I can't imagine anyone in that room wants it to be covered in depth 

I get it. Most people wanna see the highlights on the field, but some others like me just really like to see the inner workings as much as possible because it's just such a fascinating and unique world. But if it was the Panthers choice to not have more than what they showed in the draft room, then that's fine. But if it's a possibility, for me I'd be totally down to see it.

'til then, I guess I'll just get my kicks from the aforementioned teams.

Meh, was mostly fluff. A compilation of most the videos they posted during the draft. The only thing unique was a Scott Fitterer interview in the middle so I'd recommend that.

It's funny, you see the Colts, Bills and even the Browns putting out this videos with amazing production value and real behind the scenes stuff, and I wish we did that too. I know we started to last year, but it's been too long and infrequently.

Just saw this on the site. I know their bot will probably post it soon but thought Id share anyway

I like big guards, and I cannot lie.

Based on one good season in a sub-par league two years ago?

I mean he maybe wrong, but anyone talking in such absolutes can't call others idiots imo.

I would agree with the 'absolutes' part, but there is precedence, now more than ever that college QB's are way more polished and have more snaps per capita than quarterbacks of yesteryear.

Joe Burrow comes to mind.

Kyler Murray

Perhaps Zach Wilson will make that leap as well as Lance.

Granted, it's still more of a gamble than someones who's done it consistently, but there's more coming that seem to be making the jump in the last few years, so I wouldn't completely discount it.

Jets. 

 

You see where I'm going. 

 

Me personally, my initial reaction is I definitely don't like it, and that it makes it easier to see who's who on the field based on their numbers. But I get that eventually, with teams retiring numbers, that eventually they'll run out at certain positions, so maybe it's inevitable. Still don't like it, but that's how I feel.

What about you?

The new expanded rules now allow any position, minus lineman, quarterbacks and kicker/punters, to pick numbers between 1-49.

While offensive positions from running back to wide receivers can also select 80-89
