On injuries: Did not participate: Na'il Diggs - rib, Brad Hoover - back, Rhys Lloyd- ankle, and Jonathan Stewart - Achilles.

On if kicker Rhys Lloyd was injured while trying to make a tackle during a kickoff against Tampa Bay: On that play, yes.

On the trade for defensive tackle Tank Tyler: He's a guy that we feel like is going to help us, obviously to trade for him and give up a fifth-round pick. He's a guy we knew a little bit (about) coming out (of college). As far as our evaluation, we watched him on tape there with Kansas City and felt like he could definitely help us, so we're glad to have him aboard and looking forward to working with him.

On playing against Bills center Geoff Hangartner, who played for the Panthers from 2005-08: It will be interesting. He was a very well-liked guy in our locker room by the coaching staff, by his teammates. Any time a guy can better his career to get an opportunity, I think everybody was happy for him. He'll be trying to whoop us and we'll be trying to whoop him, but all in good fun. It will be good seeing him. He's a good man.

On the Bills: They're a very, very good football team. They've got weapons; they've got good players. I believe they're well coached. They had an excellent game against a good football team (New York Jets) last week on the road. So we're looking for a very good football team to come in here to our place.

On if quarterback Jake Delhomme is doing anything differently than he has in the past: Probably no different than any other year. No different than maybe after our first game this year when everybody wanted to pin the Philly loss on him. Probably no different than when we were sitting at 0-3. As a football team - not just one guy - I don't think any of us were very good. I don't think me as the head coach was very good. I think top to bottom that was the deal. I think over the last three weeks, and I'm counting the bye week as one of those, guys have worked very hard. A week ago, there was some disgruntledness over our run game. Guys worked hard, responded well and we got that working. This is a tough game played by tough people. You keep working until you get better. I don't think the passing game rests on one guy's shoulders.

Well there you go. Everybody says that Fox don't care and won't ever take any blame. Obviously, that's not the case. I'm sure people will forget about this quote very quickly and jump on the next quote that fits what they want to believe though.

BTW, remember when fans were so outraged because Fox gave his players a couple of days off during the bye, and how it guaranteed that they wouldn't get any better? Looks like that was bullshit too, don't it?

yea but frankly, this is the first year in as long as i can remember where we've looked better coming off a break. and i'm not sure if it wasn't just that we were playing so fuging poor going in that there was no way but up.

Big mamma would have made a better DT than any of these scrubs we traded for.

Jeez, another person acting like quality 300+ DT grow on trees and teams line up to get rid of them. We lose Kemo, get Leonard, lose Leonard, get Thomas, Thomas plays well and obviously helps, then add depth with Tyler.

I suppose your solution to the problem would be to just have no one there at all. I think the FO has actually done quite well adressing the DT losses considering the talent pool there is to draw from.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
