Peter King: Panthers Postcard

The hands of Brandon LaFell. I don't know he 'LaFell' to the third round of the draft, but he made one terrific catch and another couple of nabs in traffic that were big-time. I would be surprised if by the end of the year we don't see LaFell making big catches down the field for Carolina. Coaches love him.

Lunch entrée: In keeping with my healthy camp habits (don't worry, they won't last), I threw together a good summer salad -- iceberg lettuce, shredded carrots, cucumbers, grape tomatoes -- with balsamic vinaigrette, and a scoop of chicken salad on the side. Excellent chicken salad. Just OK lettuce.

Drink: Dasani water.

Grade: C-plus.

Good to know...

Yeah... he always seems to have those little vignettes that everyone else couldn't care less about. I think it's part of his schtick for the whole postcard format. In the end, it was nice to see a national pundit actually get what he said factually straight before submitting it for publication rather than sling poo at a wall and then read the resultant corn nuts to divine what it all means.

You don't get any sense that John Fox is coaching, behaving or feeling like a lame duck. He's in the last year of his contract, and it's clear that if he wants top-eight NFL coaches' money (which he does), he's not going to get it in Carolina. I expect Fox to be elsewhere next year, but I don't expect it will be a factor with his team this year, because Fox isn't going to air it publicly and his players don't seem to notice.

Well unless Fox has a "standout" year this season, it's hard to imagine he'll get "top-eight" money elsewhere.

Excellent points and I get your "nuggets" theory, quite right! It also got me to thinking about Moore. When he got the train out of reverse last season, he started showing a high level enthusiasm, kinda like Jake did when he finished 2003 after that halftime against J'ville. If Moore can get his "right stuff" going in RS at the outset, he's is gonna be as good or hopefully better than Jake in the close of 2010. THEN he'll get more "holler" in his approach. You probably remember those hand pumps Moore gestured when he nailed Jersey's coffin...a taste of ol' Jake's enthsiasm I loved.
