I can't help but really like this guy...open but he gives measured responses that take into account the "need to know". He's direct with his answers and lets you know when and why he won't give more details. He remains upbeat and optimistic with just enough realism to keep the sugar coating off the top.

Why can't I ever watch videos on Panthers.com anymore? They never load for me. Same in both IE & Firefox.

I use Chrome, and have trouble as well. When they do load, it is slow as crap, and the audio is often poor.

The video department seems to be 2 and 14 also.

anyone know where to find the text from this conference? I could of sworn his last statement was we are going to move players around like green bay, anyone else hear this?
that was in regards to moving godfrey into play the nickel. the exact quote was "I think that there are some good examples of taking one of your better defensive players and putting him in that position ala Green Bay."

i'm not 100% sure, but i think he's referring to charles woodson moving from responsibilities as a #1CB to playing the nickel slot.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
