They are one of the most entertaining groups on the Carolina Panthers team - the defensive backs, better known to Panthers fans as the "thieves."

Josh Norman, Roman Harper, Kurt Coleman, and Tre Boston sat down for a group interview with WBTV before leaving for Super Bowl 50.

When asked what made them really gel this season, Josh Norman answered, “These teammates genuinely do care, and it’s one of those things where everybody is fighting hard for one another and they’re trying to help instead of hinder you or even try to belittle you or anything like that.”

They also talked about the nickname "thieves" and where it started.

“You know Coach Washington,” said Norman. “It started back in OTAs. We said we were going to lead the team in takeaways."

"It was the first vision we had as a collective group,” said Kurt Coleman. "We were going to take every ball that was thrown our way, but then as Roman and Josh have been saying at the training camp we built such a camaraderie that we believe that it wasn’t just a saying - that is who we are.

That motto has now become a way of life for the group - so much so that they even took a Thieves Avenue sign with them to hang up in the locker room for the Super Bowl.

“It’s kind of neat to see [the fans] embrace it as well. Over social media, I’ve seen it tons of times,” said Tre Boston.

Who would have thought that we would see Roman Harper as a role model and Steve Smith as a selfish bitter jerk. 

Dave Gettleman took this team through the twilight zone and freekin owned it. 

Man I love this team. The defense gets to practice against the best scoring offense in the league and this offense gets to practice against the turnover leaders in the league. Winning is inevitable.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
