Raheem Morris talks about playing Carolina for the last several years, trying to use us to get their team focused......

Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris began his team meeting Wednesday by telling his players that the Carolina Panthers have been more physical in their games since 2003.

Then he showed the team video clips of the Panthers offense dominating the Bucs' defense over the past six years. The Bucs are only 3-9 against the Panthers during that stretch, despite winning two NFC South titles in the process.

“Today in the team meeting, we really stressed physical play,'' Morris said. "I put in the tape of Carolina, them playing us on defense. I started from ’03. In ’02, if you guys remember, we had a real battle up there. This is the great part about being here for seven years before you become the head coach. In ’02, we had a big-time battle at their place. We had a bunch of big stops and they were trying to run the ball, run the clock out. We kept stopping them and we’d get a field goal. We kept stopping them and then (Martin) Gramatica (kicked a field goal). We walked out of that game and we all felt like that was kind of the push to the Super Bowl. That was like the changing of the guard. That was like us coming into our own on defense. We stopped the Carolina Panthers running the ball. I think it was Stephen Davis.

Since then, ’03 we got them sometimes, they got us. But for the most part, to be honest with you, they’ve been more physical than us. Even the games we’ve won, we’ve come out of those games and felt like we lost. We felt like they outplayed us physically. That’s what I told my team this morning. I showed it to them. From ’03, ’04, to ’05, to ’07, to ’08. I had a couple of clips in there of them running the ball on us physical. More physical than us. I let it sit in for awhile. I let it sit in for the defense. I told our offense, “You got your butts kicked, too.’ I just chose not to show that. I just wanted to show part of it.

“And it wasn’t about Carolina, but that’s a credit to Carolina and what coach John Fox is doing up there. It was more about physical play. And that’s where I left it.''

      It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ

      I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
