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!)

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
