I will paraphrase after it's done

Ron Rivera: talked about his journey to becoming a head coach: weve heard it before

Ron on Training camp: missed out on about 1500 snaps missed on OTA's and mini camps, but they feel like they got them back during TC and were at where they would have liked to have been by the time camp let out.

Ron on Cam: wants people to "realize that he's a talented football player, and person... But his commitment to what ^He wants to become, which is an NFL QB is tremendous! He's putting in a lot of time and effort into developing, and the coaches mike Shula and Rob Chudzinski has been Outstanding with the young man... The thing that we can't forget is that this is a new system, so Cam's not the only one learning to do what we do. There's 10 other guys on the field that have to be on the same page as him. So what we saw with Cam was the beginning of an EVOLUTION that's a learning process. The young mans a Tremendous football player and u gotta give him a lot if credit for what ^He did on Sunday, but you know, let's don't forget the playmakers... Steve Smithhad a Tremendous game, our tight ends really stepped up big time, our offensive line protected and gave him some time to find those guys downfield, so what you saw was really like I said the Evolution of our offense."

Then they asked about the tats and piercings that JR said to Cam...

Ron responds: Cam's a really good young person... No big deal "non-issue"

Thoughts on GB RR says: ^"He watched the Saints game... Pretty dog gone good football team. Looked like they hadn't lost a step since SuperBowl. Also said Saints looked pretty dog gone explosive as well. It's tough on the defenses. Either u have to have somin special to stop them or you have to be able to outscore them"

You may be able to find the whole interview @ Facebook.com/otl

My thoughts on it: great interview. Expect U's to try and outscore the Packers this weekend. I'm sure he'd like to stop their offense, but it definitely sounded as though ^He put emphasis on " or outscore them"

He loves Cam, u can just tell by the way He talks about him. There won't be any "we'll just let him manage games as a rookie until He has his feet" it seems more like RR already knows Cam can handle it, I think he's putting the ball in his hands to win games, as opposed to Babying him. Cam is dat deal!

It's amazing to hear and see his face as He talks about Cam... Crazy! I'm loving it!!!

I kept rewinding my DVR and typing this from my phone so that the quotes would be accurate!

Thanks for putting forth the effort to write this up TCF. That must've been hard! I appreciate the recap and I'm liking what we have in Rivera and Newton. It's refreshing to have a coach who can talk openly to the media and the fans. And it's exciting to have a superstar in the making in Cam Newton.

Exciting times to be a panther fan these days. (if you allow yourself to be excited!)

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
