The difference is Rhule. 

I see the difference in a few Panther veterans....Boston's attitude and enthusiasm, KK has been hustling. Paradis has been OK, up from a train wreck in 2019.   But look at the players we brought in from other teams that were journeymen, discards, or under-performers ---Davis, Burris, Douglas, Cooper, Reed, Miller, Weatherly, Kerr---even our current stars like Bridgewater and Anderson.  I hope this magic works on Little and Thomas, but for now, these upgrades in play level were not expected.   It is contagious. 

As for the rookies, Chinn at the end of the second (#64) is outballing Simmons taken #9.  YGM is playing well.  Pride is going very well for a 4th round rookie CB.  Of course, Brown is a pro-bowl DT.  Roy, for a sixth rounder, is not a liability and will be a productive DT in a year or so.

Throw in the fact that this coach has no preseason, and it makes this transformation even more incredible.

And remember, Snake says he would kiss his own ass if we win 6 games...So if you needed motivation 10 seconds ago, you don't any longer.

Gotta admit, that coughing in the end of the 3rd clip has me concerned.

Most likely nothing, but damn it always just creeps in your mind now

I'm sure it's nothing and he's getting tested frequently. I always get a cough this time of year, not a bad one but just a frequent tickle in my throat and it sucks so much more this year whenever I'm at work or have to go anywhere and I'm coughing and everyone just stares like I'm some PoS spreading coronavirus everywhere... I always cough into my arm with my mask on too, but still get the looks.

I took a beating because I stated this club was not a pedestrian talent group. I still stand by that and that they are a top 8-15 talent group. They are certainly not bottom 5 as some suggested. However, there is room for improvement in the off season. I love what Douglas has become for us but we still need CB, LB help. I know Chinn is seen as the joker, but we need another mike big time. Everyone gives Chinn lots of love, including me but I don’t want him to lead the team in tackles. That often means someone is not doing their job (LB’s).

I'm puckering. Never would I have imagined a turnaround like this and I'm loving it.

I understand all perspectives---no preseason, new coaches, depleted roster--dead cap out the arse--coach em up, MR.

Players can look at Rivera's blank expression's on Sundays so many times before they stop giving a sh!t

Rhule is actually engaged and making adjustments every play.

I have been calling you out, but there is no point in premature celebrating--we are in the easy stretch of the schedule.  If we win 6, we will need some video proof--I am planning on selling "Balm up, Snake" t shirts--proceeds go to charity.   !!! Let's face it, everyone is going to be wrong by the season's end.

Yep.  They talked about his energy--how he gets players to run through brick walls for him--I thought, "not in the NFL they won't"  He simply has the "it" factor--seems like a goofy fan that won a contest to be on the sideline for a day---and he gets the most out of everyone.  A real leader of men with humility.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
