What I like about this is that Wharton is a rare player who had success starting many games both at tackle and guard. He definitely understands the positions well, will be interesting to see how good he is at teaching others.

I  hate it when you make a good point.  This might help him overcome a rather glaring lack of experience.  I spoke to him a few times as a player and he seemed articulate--we shall see.

Good hire?

any of the duke basketball fans want to chime in on this hire? Most of the ones around here are gamecock fans during football season. 

What about the Tarhole fans.. If you're not to busy  taking fake courses and still failing the class?

Wharton and Gross were best buddies.  Birds of a feather....

 

The guy knows his stuff.  Those of us with the local Panthers TV stuff over the last few years know that.

I love the story Gross told about when he broke his leg back in 2011 or 2012? and he was being carted off in an air cast and he looks over and sees Wharton crying, and he goes "Travelle, it's alright man, I'm going to be fine". and Wharton responded "I know man, I don't care about that, I have to play LT now".

Rayz and I had discussed Rivera's old colleague Hal Hunter.  He's getting the Giants OL job.

Also noticed McDermott is dismissing his DB coach.  Wonder if he'd look at one of ours.

(probably not)

We don't have a DB coach do we?  Please don't tell me it's Rogers.

We have three.

Curtis Fuller (DB Coach; played four years, final season with us;  previous experience was mostly assistant special teams; was assistant DBs under Wilks for four years; last year was his first as a full time position coach)

Jeff Imamura (nickel coach; played linebacker for the Vikings and had coached mostly linebackers for about ten years before coming here; had done some safety coaching also)

Richard Rodgers (safeties coach; came to us in 2012 and was working with special teams till 2014 till poor performance forced Rivera to move him; he and Rivera are old college teammates so he's pretty much here as long as Ron is)

Oh, and the Bills got somebody else.

Based on this I would say we don't have a DB coach worth his salt.

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
