The Miami Connection

Yesterday before practice I saw these two guys chatting.....

Which got me thinking about the current Miami Hurricanes connection for the Panthers.

 

Ken Dorsey was the QB of the 2001-2002 Hurricanes. He went undefeated in 2002 but lost the Championship game. Dorsey had both Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow to throw to... interesting considering the Panthers are stacked at tight end this season. Dorsey should have great insight into QB-TE connections for Cam.

 

His offensive coordinator in Miami? None other than Rob Chudzinski , whose playbook remains somewhat intact for the Panthers. Chudzinski was influential in the Panthers hiring Dorsey as a pro scout in 2011.

 

Greg Olsen missed playing with Dorsey by one year, joining the Hurricanes in 2003. Olsen spent one year at Miami under then Offensive Coordinator Rob Chudzinski. Olsen went on to become a first round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 2007. In 2011 Olsen joined the Carolina Panthers once again in Chudzinski's offense.

 

Dorsey is well liked within the Panthers organization, and I am told has a real future in the NFL Coaching ranks.

    • One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.
    • I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.   
    • So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
