great interview, though.

incredibly disappointed with the loss, still bitter.

he said they did change to man coverage in the second and was able to shut down the card offense pretty well. lesson learned there, imo. man>zone.

he said he liked the system because it allows them to play. said the problem was more because of player mistakes than the system.

still said that it was just a bad game and they picked the wrong day to have a bad game.

he wants peppers to be back and said that he was a very big part of the team not only on the field with the way he plays but what he did in practice and meetings in being a vocal leader.

he said there will be some tweaking in the defense.

said that even though the coaches didn't get on to marshall with the unsportsmanlike conduct he and other players got him and he knew how bad that was.

one thing that i loved was how he said the situation is eerily similar to what he had in chicago in 2005. bears had a bye week and the panthers came in and beat them in chicago. they came back the next year and went to the superbowl. he said he mentioned that in the locker room and just smiled.

panthers are not done.

That tough NFC North and the NFC west sure did pose a challenge the next year right?

I think he is just trying not to step on any toes. That zone defense that allowed the Cards to own our secondary the first half was all Turg and Fox, not the players.

Thats true, but even I, a football novice, noticed several blown coverages in the first half (or the first quarter, I couldn't watch the game any more and deleted the recording)

    • Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight. 
    • I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
