Meeks in; Skipper out

Recommended Posts

Former defensive coordinator Ron Meeks confirmed that he had talked to new coach Ron Rivera about a position on his staff but would not specify which one.

However, two league sources said Meeks was talking about the secondary coach job, instead of anything with play-calling responsibility. Rivera said during his introductory news conference that he planned to take a hands-on role in conducting the defense.

Running backs coach Jim Skipper said he and Fox had spoken Friday afternoon, and he indicated he'll head west soon.

"It looks like I'm going to get there in some capacity," Skipper said. "Don't know exactly what it's going to be, but he did say he wanted to bring me out there."

Skipper's running backs were among the most consistent position groups the Panthers had, and all of his players had been lobbying for his return. But Skipper said he never heard from general manager Marty Hurney.

nooo Skipper :(

hahaha, anyone else remember all the "Why not Meeks for HC?!" posts? He's taking a downgrade to stay here....? Weird... Wonder if Fox didn't like him much

Secondary fine, don't want play calling or defensive style responsibilities in his brief case.

DWILL for #36 overall GET IT DONE NOW

Not possible. DWill is a Free Agent and not our property. Franchise Tag him you say? Didn't work out too well with Pepeprs, no guarantee he signs the FT contract. If he does then you could trade him but he won't bring compensation along the lines Matt Cassell brought to the Patriots (2nd round) as a QB has more value than RB. Or we FT him and have to pay him close to 8 million for one year if the FT numbers are similar to last year with no trade. Better to use that FT tag on someone like Kalil, moving his next contract off a year.

The other side of the lockout...coaches will take a lower position for a guaranteed paycheck.

Good point.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
