RR pauses presser to laugh since everyone can hear Cam Newton screaming, "Oh, Julius?!?" in the hallway.

 

RR won't say who will be on kickoff returns, just that Samuel "will be back there at some point."

 

RR on Curtis Samuel returning kicks: "He will be back there at some point." Seemed like it might not be this week, but sometime soon.

Starting CMC this week in Fantasy. Waiting to see how Samuel is used. Had to draft him, Brieda, and Kamara as stash guys, in a 14 team league, I may never have waiver priority. 

I drafted both of them as well in my 14-team league.

Ron Rivera said defensive coordinator Steve Wilks is an aggressive guy and figures his play calling will match that style.

 

RR admits "we got carried away" with Cam Newton's start at training camp, which led to a two-week shutdown.

Took Samuel late. Seemed most guys in this league were simply going on the rankings of ESPN. Either way, I felt he has a predetermined role on the offense and will be targeted so it will be worthwhile in a couple weeks when bye's start to hit.

Ron Rivera sets the first game is important because it "sets the tone and tempo" for the season.

 

Rivera on opener: It's just simple math. You lose one you're down one. You want to start on top

Lets hope there is only one point at which he may be back there, halftime or the beginning of the game.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
