It is amazing that Reich could comment on the practice without having to say "I'll have to look at the tape"

This is what it's like having an experienced nfl head coach. The Panthers that you come to know over the past 5 years is gone.  This is a completely new team under a very competent coaching staff. There may be some leftovers but make no mistake, this team will be nothing like the teams in the past.  You will be proud to be a fan again.

the advantage that reich will have over fox and rivera and especially rhule is that he's not coming in with a lot to figure out in the new role. he has the benefit of experience...and not just any experience.

he made mistakes in indy. i think he did alright there, but i know he realizes there's some things that he knows looking back that he could have and wished he could have done better. there are some things that he didn't know walking into that new job in indy that i think, looking back, he wished he knew when he got the job.

now he has the experience and wisdom that comes from hindsight and he gets to apply that to a new situation for him. 

plus, we aggre$$ively went after assistant coaches and support staff to ensure that we had the brightest and best available minds there putting this team and scheme together. and then they, this group of the best and brightest available, put their heads together and picked out the best available QB in this draft and the FO sold out to get that young talent.

we've never had a moment in this franchises history where we were this dedicated to success and dammit, i'm excited.

I don't understand how this has anything to do with Bryce's demeanor.  A father's profession doesn't usually translate to the child.  

It absolutely does. Especially if Bryce's dad communicated with his son in a way which was more reminiscent of a counselor.

more than likely correct in this situation. from everything i've seen/heard regarding his dad and the way he carries himself publicly and professionally...same with his mother...their demeanor most certainly was modeled throughout Bryce's life and would have been easy for him to naturally emulate. both parents seem to be very controlled and positive in every aspect of life, especially in their professions. For the dad, Craig, because he runs a company that doesn't just deal with counseling, but he does a lot of consulting and motivational speaking, it would be hard to turn that part of himself off from that part. it would likely carry over into life at home. most people, especially people who are self employed, find their work life self carrying into their home life self. 

it just makes sense that the both the dad and mom's personality part in their profession and who they had to be in that profession, it carried over into what their son saw daily. and i don't think it's rare for that to happen at all. who people are at work carries over a lot of the time into who they are at home and it will, in one way or another, influence the growing and evolving personality and demeanor of their children.

I don't even think it's a subtle, indirect thing that Bryce just instinctually emulated.  My guess is that his dad explicitly coaches him on these things: "hey son, up at the podium you should do X, Y, and Z to project confidence and professionalism".  As has been mentioned, his dad is a councilor and a consultant...it is literally his job to instruct others on how to carry themselves.  There's no reason to believe he wouldn't apply that expertise to his own son as well.

Bryce and his family dynamic strike me as a well-oiled machine of a unit who has meticulously crafted and refined him into what he is today...going back years and years.  Him taking the S2 since high school is one example of that.  It unfortunately may come across to some as him being somewhat robotic, and can muzzle his personality in the spotlight, but it seems like everything he does and says is very deliberate to a tee.

Just listening to his presser and demeanor is night and day vs. Rhule.  We finally have an NFL caliber head coach again.

Getting actual answers and insight is a nice change.  No pretense, no nonsense slogans, etc.

I'm betting Reich already has more respect and clout in the locker room than Matt Fraud ever had.

That's one thing that I think Wilks did better than either of them.  He commanded the pressers.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
