Wed Press Conference.

Chinn:

Had knee swelling last week. Not scared of knee swelling.

Feels game is slowing down for him.

Tough watching from the sideline.

Knows what he is doing better now on the field. Early in the season he was running around with his hair on fire.

Brown:

Reaching out to kids of need with charity events.

Says Panthers are pissed off losing 4 games in a row. Not worried about Brady being fired up after playing one of his worst games ever.

The shock of suddenly playing against all pros with no preseason has worn off.

Brown is working on his keys (defensive details).

Grew up watching Tom Brady. Got over the shock factor playing against him.

Working on breaking down film. Still learning and progressing.

He has a lot of flaws that are simplistic. Trying to improve. Time away from football hurt his skills.

John Miller:

Scheme is exciting. Confuses defense with different looks.

Without CMC we had other guys step up. Mike D. Next man up.

Rhule wants players to be mad about losing. Goal is to win games. Starts on the practise field.

O-line coach is very detailed. Eyes, feet, hands, all needs to be on point. Start a fight be violent (within rules).

Thanks.  I appreciate this post.

[Panther Believer]

Good stuff, and good looking out.

I watched the interviews with Chinn and Derrick.  very impressed with both.  Derrick talking his dad being a vet.  

I believe Derrick said he was part of a charity event for vets that was going on during the time of the interview, and that he would have been there if not for practice.  I love his demeanor.  No nonsense, straight to the point, no spin, no standard "I just want to help the team" answers.  Gets to the point immediately.

For example, when asked about whether Brady would be mad about coming off one of his worst ever games, he said "we've lost 4 games in a row.  We're mad too."  

Perfect response for someone who expects to win each game no matter what the expectations are.  For anyone thinking about buying a Derrick jersey, pull the trigger.  He's going to be here for a long time, and he's going to be good for a long time.

I enjoy ellis and RR, but just watching these press conferences fills the main vein.
