Jonathan Stewart says Panthers have DEEPEST and BEST backs in the NFL

Its just silly.

Thats one thing I have learned this camp after spending more time with the media. If it were a court room, it would be leading the witness objections all day long.

Instead of asking "What are your thoughts on the rb's" its "Do you think the rb's are the deepest and best in the NFL"

Reporters are framing their questions so the answers fit within th bye article they are writing. Watch for an article soon on how deep the panthers RB corp is.

I tend to ask open ended questions, allowing the players to talk. For instance with Josh Norman in the locker room it was "Talk to me about the interception" and not "So you jumped the route on the reciever and made a great play, right? "

Maybe I am doing it wrong, but it seems more genuine if these guys just talk on their own without much prodding.

I've talked to many reporters/journalists and am always curious. What % of anything do these guys get in to that is off the record and more or less goes unreported.

A good tip i learned from someone in the AP was to ask them how they made the play while performing their reads, responsibilities, etc and if the play was practiced against. This is great for fan consumption as it let's the reader feel as if they are one with the player and this gives the player the chance to show his football IQ and stroke his ego.

i think stew has the potential to have an excellent year. he'll probably play week one, and it's worth noting that last year's injury was pretty much unavoidable (taking a knee to the helmet like he did isn't a toughness issue, it's physics and anatomy.) 

 

if he comes out and has a good year, he'll have backed up his words.

    • No PFF grades up yet but the all-22 is up. Just watched the first passing play (Q1 6:45) from 3rd & 2 on the CAR 37 where Bryce scrambled for the first. Dowdle whiffed going low on the blitzing Oluokun, which forced Bryce to scramble. If not for that, that ball was going to XL on a corner route that he'd have been open. Concerning though that Bryce looked like he was staring the route down (which he definitely did on the first INT of the day). This doesn't absolve Bryce as he made several flat out bad plays throughout the game. Also rather damning is that of the 40 drop backs, according to the filters there was pressure on 16 vs. 24 w/o pressure... though I'm questioning the validity of the early filters because the very first play I mentioned is flagged as "no pressure" when there's very clearly pressure. The first INT was a bad play by Bryce. He thought Murray had started dropping deep to cover Brycen Tremayne, but Murray read Bryce's eyes the whole time which stayed on XL. Murray "broke the rule" here and made a play, but he also wouldn't have made that play had Bryce not been staring XL down for most of the route.   Might not get an all-22 review post up until later in the week. I've got a conference next week that I'm prepping for and the family is still reeling from one of our pets passing over the weekend.
    • We're just bad. Canales is not a good coach. Morgan is not a good GM. Young is not a good quarterback.  We haven't drafted well in a long time. All this stuff adds up. And now we're in a situation where no matter who we hire they're going to be starting at a negative because they're going to have to draft good talent and fill the entire team up.  I don't know guys I think we could be bad for a long time.
    • So true.  I would love to have Jim, Dan, or Sean here.  So sick of stinking it up for the first 8 games and then fixing things just to make sure we dont have a top draft pick so we have to trade the farm if we want a top pick.
