Recommended Posts

Panthers injury report: Derek Anderson (sick) and OG Fernando Velasco did not practice. Velasco has a family issue to take care of.

 

Ron Rivera reiterated it looks like DeAngelo Williams "is ready to roll."

 

Rivera said if #Panthers win the toss they'll want the ball to continue their aggressive nature on offense.

 

Derek Anderson has had the flu and Ron Rivera hasn't wanted him around the team until he's better. He was able to keep soup down today.

Rivera on Cam's adversity: The lowest moment for him was when I told him we weren't gonna play him against Tampa in Week one. #Panthers

 

Rivera: I think the car accident changed Cam and made him take things a little less seriously. It's bee a trickle down effect for the guys

 

#Panthers Rivera on Cam: he's having fun playing football again, seems to be result of Cam's car accident.

 

Rivera said when Cam Newton is having fun he's "pretty doggone good.''

 

#Panthers RR: cam ankle/rib seem to be fine, can't speak for his back.

 

Rivera: I think everything from the ankle to the rib is healthier, he's in there having a good time and whole team has come together. #Cam

 

Mike Solarte @MikeSolarte

#Panthers RR: tight end group has been a constant for Cam.

Rivera: I'm not buying into they have struggled the past couple weeks..we are gonna have to out play them in all phases.

 

He's fine. Just had his toe stepped on. RT @justinpence: @SteveReedAP how is Josh Norman steve? He came up gimpy late in the Falcons game

 

#Panthers RR: plenty of low points this season, Cam was pressing during those low points.

 

#Panthers RR: on offense friendly rules, been a supporter of the calls on DB's, as long as they remain consistent

No way D Will gets the start, can't believe that will actually happen, it just cant

 

Doesn’t matter. Will start & get bulk of carries

#Panthers RR: Charles Johnson has played as well as anybody, has had tremendous 2nd half

 

Ron Rivera praised DE Charles Johnson (@randywattson) for a "tremendous four-game stretch" of games.

 

#Panthers RR: linebackers have been a solid group all season long. McDermott has been aggressive in his calls.

 

Rivera says one constant all season offensively has been the steady play of the TE. Sees Cam's confidence growing in Dickson as pass-catcher

#Panthers RR: cam has had "good" year, could have helped him more

 

#Panthers RR on Josh Norman: he has the tools, that's why we drafted him. Don't want to take away his personality.

 

#Panthers RR on Norman: takes a different kind of guy to play corner.

 

Rivera on Newton: "He's had a good year. It could have been better at times. We could have helped him as coaches and players.'' #Panthers

#Panthers RR: applauds Roman Harper for helping shepherd young DB's grow and develop.

 

Rivera can't say enough about how impactful Roman Harper's leadership has been for young secondary. That group looks up to him.

 

#Panthers Rivera tells funny story about young DB needing to get permission from Roman Harper at the end of practice to use the bathroom.

 

#Panthers RR: Kalil molds young OL in same way as Harper with DB's. Early on, was tough on Kalil after teammates retired.

 

#Panthers RR: it's been neat to watch how he's helped direct that group of players.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
