From near the end of Rivera's post "day one of rookie camp" interview (link)

 

 

- Rivera says Oher has been at the facility "every day" since their offseason program started, "hasn't missed a day".

 

- Describes Oher as "involved with everything".

 

- Says he has "assimilated very nicely into our culture" and "fit very nicely with his teammates".

 

- States that Oher is a "very smart football player" and is transitioning well with the help of Coach Matsko.

 

 

Safe to say he's impressed Rivera so far, for what it's worth.

 

(granted, live bullets aren't flying yet)

But he's no La'el Collins so 2-14 AT BEST! Maybe 3-13 ;)

I want Rivera to say "Well, he's better than Byron so that's a start" haha jk

 

Seriously though, we've got our line shored up and as long as he can be adequate alongside Norwell-Kalil-Turner-Williams/Remmers, then we've got ourselves a squad ready to compete.  Not expecting Oher to completely turn it around just because he's back with his old coach but if he's trying this hard and is a cultural fit, there could be something.  I have a feeling he can do perfectly fine in the right setting, this may be that setting.

Love the man.

Don't know why so much hate for the man. Had one average year with Balt and another bad season due to injury last year. Other than that he has been a very good player throughout his career and even better the SB year.

You are always the first to hate on someone especially someone as terrible as he's been. Good to see you've turned the corner. ;)

Rivera has been too much a fluffer of certain guys in the past. I want to believe him, but I've been lied to in the past.

 

Here's hoping Oher proves me wrong.

 

This.  Bell and Chandler were gonna be the answers last year.

 

I mean, I can't blame him.  What's he supposed to say?  "Holy poo, have you seen these guys???  They're fuging TERRIBLE!!!  We are so completely and utterly fuged that it ain't even funny!!!"

He's graded negatively on PFF every season since 2009.

Considering nobody but rookies are practicing in any way he can only comment on his involvement in his personaL preparation.

      New Huddle FAQ

      By Zod · Posted

      Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
