A little boring now?

RR- We find ways to stay busy. Have to be ready to play when lockout lifts it.

Cam comes in, gets playbook and leaves?

RR- Yeah basically. We've also started assigning regular football tasks to coaches, etc. Making OTA, training camp schedules.

Impact on Cam of lockout?

RR- We talked to him about our philosophy before. We told him things we want him to work on over break, based on what he already does good/needs to work with

First thing we did when we got here was review team, determine needs and the best way to fill them. We addressed some of them during draft, includes franchise QB-which will be an extension of coaching staff on field.

Really enjoyed worked with Don Gregory and his staff.

"Not a ringing endorsement of current staff/QB's?"

Well there were some extenuating circumstances, unfair to judge them, but had that was all we had to review them on.

"Daquan Bowers? Temptation to trade up and take him or move up in 2nd at all?"

RR- Would have been too expensive. DT was being need than DE. Really liked McClain, thought he might be gone by our pick, but he was there already. Also really like Fua.

"Did draft go as you expected?"

RR- It did. When just the way Marty thought. Once board was set Marty didnt think there would be any trades, and the players went off the board just about the spot where he thought they would.

"Could players with a play book make copies and give it to their teammates?"

RR- I don't know if that's legal or not, but teammates can do what they want. Not really sure (laughing at this question)

"Cam and number 2?"

RR- That's up to those players to settle that.

"Cam's potential, who does he remind you of?"

RR- In between Don McNabb and Big Ben. Cam isn't a scrabbling QB. Most of his runs were called plays. Things you saw time and time again was that when he had a called pass play he stayed in the pocket, or when he got flushed his eyes stayed down field and was looking to pass

"Steve Smith, where does that stand?"

RR- Talked to Smith before work stoppage. Just an understanding of who he is, told him will approach situation after lock, will try to accommodate him but will be looking out for the best of the team.

"Designed running plays, doesn't run for longevity in NFL. Where you stand?"

RR- It doesn't, we have to create plays that's best for his talents. Get him situations where he has pass/run option on outside, not just to run. Learn when to slide, get out of bounds. We won't/can't have many designed run plays for him.

"How long play calls?"

RR-Long enough to get the plays out.

Currently talking about something from 85 Bears.

About Steve situation- It didn't seem certain that he would be gone, more like if we can get a really good value for him then he will stay, if not then it would be best for team if he plays. That's my impression anyways.

Last question- Playing in some golf tournament (pro/am? Not sure what they are talking about).

- No, and some random fluff

Talking about Singltary/Rivera Tecmo Super Bowl Defense, Joe Ovies says that was incredible defense. Rivera laughs about it, says some fluff.

And interview ends there.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
