[The Saltman]

"Were going to approach number one pick to who suits us best, biggest need"

"determining what that position of need as right now (for the number one pick in the draft)

isnt the biggest need at qb?

[Hoenheim]

we will use the franchise tag, still trying to decide on that

[CatMan72]

...and he wishes we had more than one franchise tag to use

[riddel]

Goodbye Steve Smith.....you will be missed.

[Dpantherman]

Florio is actually asking good questions.

[Darth Urious]

If we franchise Kalil or Johnson over DWill, I will be highly pissed... It shouldn't even be a decision requiring thought...

[Hoenheim]

" the players that have been around, there is a tremendous amount of respect for jerry richardson"

[CatMan72]

asked Rivera if any of the players have expressed concern about Richardson's reported behavior in the CBA meetings, Rivera says nobody has expressed any concerns to him.

[Hoenheim]

"the biggest thing we can do is continue to prepare."

"everything we do, we have to be ready to go"

[thunderraiden]

we WILL be using the franchise tag.

[Hoenheim]

whats your take on what went wrong with the panthers last year?

"this was the youngest team in the nfl. this team really didnt get blown out. This team fought to the end. This team had a lot of young guys that got game expereince. Were trying to get these guys to understand how we want them to play."

[CatMan72]

asked what went wrong last year...

youngest team in the NFL, fought to the end, gained experience - good for development. young guys were asked to play earlier than they probably were ready to.

[riddel]

Didn't get blown out?????

9 losses by 2 scores or more.....give me a break!
