in no particular order:

- "we could have done better"

- "we've got what we've got"

- "that happens"

When asked: Are you prepared for Peppers to receive criticism, given the big contract he has?

- "Last week, everybody wanted to blame Jake. This week everybody wants to blame Julius. I don’t that’s the answer if that’s what you’re asking me."

also on peppers performance: "Like the rest of the team, good but not quite good enough"

What John Fox says in his PC is the last thing I'm worried about. If he gets fired, it will be because he can't win, not because he isn't entertaining enough or doesn't get mad enough and throw his players under the bus to the delight of the press and angry Panther fans.

who wants him to get mad? or throw anyone under the bus a simple no comment will do if he doesn't want to talk about something, instead pops out some BS non-answer. just how simple he is.

he did a little better with this one than usual but then the bar is kind of set low b/c of who we have had to deal with for so long.

parts that were ok, imo...

ON WHAT CAN BE DONE TO COUNTER TEAMS THAT GET THE FOOTBALL AWAY QUICKLY: You should be able to react to the ball fast as far as the pass route. At times we did that well and at times we didn't do it as well as we needed to. It's usually not one phase or it's not one person that wins and loses football games.

ON WHETHER THAT PLAY CHANGED THE MOMENTUM OF THE GAME: That play - not really. I thought the punt after it did.

ON THE BLOCKED PUNT: We were a little slow getting rid of the ball and we didn't protect very well. Their guy beat our guy.

ON WHETHER BEING SLOW GETTING RID OF THE BALL IS A PUNTER OR SNAPPER ISSUE: It wasn't the snapper. I thought we were a little slow getting the ball away.

ON WHETHER PUNTER JASON BAKER ROTATED THE FOOTBALL MORE THAN NORMAL PRIOR TO THE PUNT BLOCK: Again, the reality is we missed the block, and that happens.

ON WHETHER SPECIAL TEAMS ARE A CONCERN: Yeah. It goes back to learning a new defense. You've got to execute. A couple of times as far as our kickoff coverage we didn't execute as well as we needed to. They were able to get it out to our 39. I think another time, to start the third quarter, out to our 41. Again, it's a combination of things - the kick, the coverage - and we didn't execute as well as they did.

ON WHETHER SPECIAL-TEAMS PROBLEMS ARE BECAUSE OF HAVING SO MANY NEW PLAYERS OUT THERE: It is what it is. I'm not going to sit here and try to make excuses, but the reality is yes.

It's just a game man. He does these PC's because he has to, not because he wants to. Fox sees it as his duty to give his opponents absolutely nothing that they could possibly use against him. He has to fill the time somehow though, so he has mastered the art of coachspeak. That's all it is.

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
