he was explicit about not wasting time or timeouts.  not 5 seconds, not 10 seconds.

He acknowledged that time management is a problem and basically said we have to stop wasting seconds here and there so hopefully something is done going forward

 

 

The fact that we're still talking about this in regards to an NFL head coach and we're 9 years into his tenure is baffling. 

[ncfan]

Really talked about the struggles on D and importants on OL

 

Still think we will get a pass rusher in the 1st

Then probably hammer OL in the 2nd and 3rd (possibly even pair the 2 3rds to mobe back in the 2nd and have 2 2nd round OL)

Can someone give me a brief overview of what he said? Dang Guvament blocks these videos at work.

He said book your flight to Miami next February

My takeaways:

- Selectively aggressive in FA. We'll probably end up getting a big name DE or OL, maybe a S. 

- Keeping options open, meaning making cap room, probably by parting ways with some vets/scrubs and restructuring some contracts.

- Focus on clock management, "I don't want to leave ten seconds on the field, I don't want to leave five seconds on the field..."

- Two way communication - not afraid to give input and make decisions, also not afraid of having his ideas challenged.

We all knew Cam's shoulder was going to be the scapegoat for this season. Bravo Ron. Can't wait to see what Teflon Ron comes up with next. 

[bLACKpANTHER]

hiring someone as clock manager on coaching staff - A MUST!!

[Hotsauce]

Hell of an interview. 

I’m Still not the slightest bit inspired about 2019 unfortunately 

[poorboysrev]

I like the guy even better after that. He’s not oblivious to the problems on the team...like he said this is the first offseason he can really do anything or have sayso on. Anyone smart purchasing a new business is going to learn the business and observe their people before making wholesale changes. It’s obvious this is a make or break season for hurn and Ron. I’ll take him over JR any day 

[Sub Zero]

Love it.. not emotionally affected.. Rationally look at the season and broke it down accordingly..

[Mr. Scot]

Interesting answers.

I like what I'm hearing from him, though I'd still have to say at this point he's putting his trust in the wrong people.

That worries me going forward.

You have a feeling that Ron and Hurney got told their marching orders.  Tepper is going to play nice in public with them because it puts the best appearance of the team forward come FA season.  Which would you got to as a FA?  A team in disarray where the coach and GM could be fired soon, or one that looks like everyone is on the same page?  Sure, most people are smart enough to see it, but perception can be reality.

I think Tepper knows exactly what he wants.  He observed and played the Goofy Uncle role this past year.  He absorbed the culture and the team.  Now he's ready to start executing his vision for his team.  It's up the Ron and Hurney to make it happen, or they will be fired.  Simple as that.

Will 2019 be a big change?  Maybe.  Odd year Panthers have done really well for us.  So we'll just have to see what happens.

[JARROD]

Like I said,... Left Tackle first,...

Cams shoulder,..wheres that Hammer guy at, the one spouting that Cams shoulder wasnt an issue?

Well,... from the horses mouth so to speak,...

i also liked that he explicitly stated what some of us have been saying.  he doesn't know football any better than the rest of us.  he sees what we see.  he was only involved on the business side in pitt.  thank god we can put that to rest.  

[Kevin Greene]

Doesn't matter what he says. Hurney and Rivera still here = Failure.
