WR Steve Smith? Throughout the lockout there were rumors of teams such as the Ravens, Chargers and even the Bears making an offer to get the veteran out of Carolina. But according to reports, Smith is back in the mix. A true No.1 receiver—with down the field speed—outside of the numbers. Someone that will go make a play for the QB.

Actually a good write up.

I hope a team mate prints this off and slides it under his door @ Wofford!

WTF are you talking about? That was a compliment to Smitty...that with him we have a legit #1 WR with down field speed and can stretch the field on the outside (outside the numbers....between the numbers and the sideline).

How did you read it?

the whole thing was pretty complimentary towards everyone, even if it was a little ill informed about the work that newton has done to prepare.

btw, referring to this:

I don’t know how much we will see rookie QB Cam Newton early in the season for the Panthers without any offseason coaching and film work. It is going to be tough to get him acclimated to the pro game during the month of August alone.
most people seem to be overlooking the work he put in at IMG with weinke. it wasn't like he was sitting around doing nothing or just working out in a gym.

he got a good solid grasp on the playbook and ran through a lot of it. worked on the cadence and calling the plays. it would have been better working with chud and shula and his WRs, but i don't think he's nearly as behind as people think.

to be fair, the author did say good things about newton:

As for Newton? I think highly of the rookie and do believe he can be a unique talent in this league. A superior athlete. Now it comes down to coaching. But when he is ready, this offense is shaping up to give him the talent to succeed and play good football.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
