We've got to get to that super bowl, and we've got to win it! - TD

Team seems determined, and I'm excited. Going to be a long 6 weeks.

They really do. It's amazing the difference a year can make. I just wish they could come out and start  like this every year. Assuming this translates into wins, of course.

This is perhaps my favorite commentary about today, so far.  By Jourdan Rodrique in her latest for the Observer:

Quote

 

The Panthers threw McCaffrey right into the fire in multiple packages and schemes, and Rivera said he was impressed with how prepared the first-round pick was.

“Today there was a red zone drill, and one thing that happened (was defensive coordinator Steve) Wilks had a blitz on,” said Rivera. “Christian was on, was in there and I looked up and saw the play and it called for Christian to read for protection, which he did very well. I knew it was something that he had to have studied because otherwise he would not have known who to pick up or who to read.”

Ok, wow.  I'm still reading Jourdan Rodrigue's article... She wins for having the most interesting tidbits of the day.  Here's another thing she wrote that I haven't seen reported anywhere else:

Quote

 

Newton hasn’t just been chattering away to the Panthers’ defense this week.

On Thursday, the quarterback, who is still unable to throw as he progresses on schedule through his post-surgery rehabilitation, was in control of the microphone offensive coordinator Mike Shula usually uses to call the plays.

“We gave him control of the mics and he called plays today,” said Rivera. “He talked with Coach Shula and we were moving the ball and Cam controlled it. He made calls, he communicated with the quarterbacks. He had a big smile on his face. He said ‘I’m not sure if I like doing this. I’d much rather be told what to do.’”

Rivera said the exercise was good for Newton to see what a playcaller goes through and to get a birds-eye view of offensive operations.

“Quite honestly, that’s something that we thought about yesterday that we should have been doing more of, in all honesty,” said Rivera, who added that this might be something the team implements more of in the future with Newton.

She is one of the most interesting reporters. I like reading her stuff. She gets the game. Her podcasts are good too.

Why does it really not encourage me when I read the we probably should have been doing this before from Rivera/Shula?

I appreciate the honesty.  They could Be never had the idea at all.  It's June and they're already making this kind of progress.  This also suggest an open kindness and a willingness to listen and adjust accordingly.   Very strong leadership traits that display their trust and maturation as coaches through the continuity of group and with this team.

I'm really surprised by how good she is.  Bright future for her.

It's not like he hasn't been changing calls at the line for a while now. Hopefully standing in at play caller gives him even more confidence.

It was an indirect swipe to Shula :)

I like Shula but he can be stale on calls.

    • Went to school in MD when this came out. Dance floor got CRAZY when this joint came on!
    • They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.   
    • There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
