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.

    • Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own. 
    • I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan 
    • Something like 24 now. The first 6 minutes were fun, after that, oh man. It was cool tho, a near capacity, with both teams well supported.
