So, I asked Gil Brandt about Norv

On Sirius NFL Radio Late Hits they wanted to talk about coaches...I called in and asked what we could expect Norv's impact to be on our offense.

Gil said he has known him since Norv was a college QB.   Raved about how smart he is, hard worker, etc.  I liked these 3 things:

  • Said he calls a lot of screens (some Panther fans may not recognize that play)
  • Said 2 or 3 times that he is a great play caller
  • Mentioned that he is a developer of QB's and quoted Aikman as saying he would not have been the player he was if it were not for Norv.

I am very excited about our OC. Some of you may have already guessed that....lol. 

This will be a very good year.

I have an extremly good feeling intuitivly about Norv and our offense as a whole. 

 

I think the offense will be really, REALLY good. 

 

Cam with decent coaching, playcalling,   Healthy Samuel, new peice in Moore, I think Funchess breaks out with Norv....

 

The Kalils healthy, RBs stacked..

 

gatDAMN i caint wait

Nice job calling in and getting Gil's opinion!

I was encouraged by the latest Panthers Podcast.  Bryan, Bill &Max all mentioned that Norv was very vocal on the field during OTAs / Mini Camp. Much more hands on than Shula who stayed in the background.  I think we really needed this change.

I've really begun to wonder lately what exactly Shula and Dorsey did do.

Sure as heck doesn't sound like they did a lot of coaching.

It showed too. Shula's game plan wasn't terrible but almost everything after that was. Having Norv might just be what a few of our players need.

Shula certainly succeeded as a quarterback coach. He's just not an OC.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
