Watching the Jets and I had totally forgotten that he signed with them. Why did he pick up and retire from Carolina and turn around and sign with the Jets.

Was it due to the fact that he was not happy how they where treating M.K, money issues, or just didn't want to play with this organization anymore.

he called everyone on the panthers before joining with the jets and asked them if he should, even ron, they all said yea. Said only reason he didn't come back to carolina is cuz we already got with a new girlfriend (m. Paradis)

Is that true??? Paradis can't hold R.K's jockstrap....

I always liked him, and defended him when fans said he was washed. But the retiring/unretiring song and dance was very disappointing. Ryan and Matt are laughing all the way to the bank, they'll be just fine.

I have a feeling Cam may do the same thing next year unless Rivera is gone.

That's putting it nicely. 

Agreed, but I'm willing to give him a few more games before calling the signing a bust.  Paradis was one of the best centers in the league until he broke his leg.  And there was nothing about that injury that should preclude him from returning to his pre-injury form.

Paradis spent all offseason recovering and didn't play in the preseason except for a few snaps.  I will be disappointed if he can't improve over the next few weeks.  He is a proven center.

That being said, Darryl Williams is not proven at LT, and the coaching staff seems hell-bent on making that work.  That is much more concerning to me.  His issue even at RT was speed rushers, and now he is facing the best speed rushers on the left side.  Tampa recognized it was an issue and exploited the hell out of it.

I don't know why we didn't make any adjustments to help him... He obviously is going to need help against good speed rushers.  I thought that was the reason we had a supposedly good blocking TE in Manhertz.  I think if we gave Williams some help via chipping he could be serviceable even though it's evident he's out of position.

I'm still at a loss of why the team won't strongly consider putting Greg Little out there since they raved about him being a true Left Tackle and slide Williams to LG.  Little will still need some help, but I think he could do just as well as a rookie LT as Williams is being obviously out of position.

I agree with switching out Williams' position. But why has he been the starter these 2 games? Because Greg Little had been in concussion protocol since early preseason. He was released from the protocol just 2 days before the last game. Little's not a vet; he couldn't just slip into the game plan and know what to do.  Why does everyone forget that when discussing Williams and LT? As if concussion protocol is a coach's fault. I expect to see changes made on the left side given our mini bye week.

Little has been in the concussion protocol. I think he's out now, but he's missed a ton of practice time.

Everyone is forgetting this. He came out of the protocol 2 days before the game. If he was a vet, maybe he could've handled the game plan. But you can't do that to a rookie.

      Joe Person: Austin Corbett is not expected back with Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
