This roster seems devoid of men who know this legacy and the impact of this man, and I hope discussion may help change that

Sam Mills could’ve been at home taking care of himself, not working 15 hour work days for that familiar Panther logo.

but it meant that much to him. 

get up in this thread and spend some time thinking on the man who truly Kept Pounding on the day he finally gets what he earned.

“Delhomme’s most poignant memory of Mills came earlier that season, a few days after a loss to Dallas. Delhomme recalled feeling sore, sluggish and uncharacteristically sorry for himself as he walked to practice. Then Mills jogged past, slapped Delhomme on the back side and said, "Let’s go get better."

Delhomme refers to that moment as an awakening in which he told himself: "You need to grow up and try to be just a tenth of this guy."

"Everybody knew he was dying," Delhomme continued. "He was doing chemo. And he’s running out to practice ... and he’s going to coach his ass off."

That's amazing.

I was traveling for the actual induction but was able to see the replay on AFN today.

I think they did a great job of mixing both New Orleans and Carolina videos.  As a player he was with New Orleans longer and a part of one of the best linebacking Corps in NFL history.  However, overall Sam spent more time with Carolina as a player/coach.  So the mix was good.   I glad they mentioned the mantra several times because it is a part of Carolina as much as the Washington fight song or J.E.T.S Jets Jets Jets is for NY.  

I was happy to see him make it.  We'll have a few more soon in SS Sr and JP and Luke.

      Evero HC requests!

      By 45catfan · Posted

      They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff.  If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down.  In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.

      Evero HC requests!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.
