Something that mentioned a couple of weeks ago is learning to "win".

We have some serious inexperience out there right now. Rookie HC, young DC, Rook QB, and lots of first time starters. They are all learning right now, and honestly, I am really enjoying watching it take place.

I think the players bought into Rivera right off the bat.

As for Cam, I saw a big change in his game starting with Atlanta. Even though he had 3 picks, it was the first game where more often than not, he was hitting his receivers in the numbers. That continued yesterday and culminated in an 8 for 8 performance in the 2nd half. If we see it, you know the players see it magnified times 10.

The running game is starting to click and Chud is much more confident in calling a balanced game now.

So the buy in, I think, went to a new level in the Atlanta game even though it was our worst loss, and stepped up even more yesterday.

The one exception may be special teams. The schemes we have used have been largely ineffective, and the unit lacks confidence. We will have to wait a while to watch them turn the corner.

The Chicago game was the first one where I stopped seeing back foot throws and jumping throws. He finally seemed to be minimizing the "phantom pressure", standing in the pocket and making his throws the right way.

Getting past the mental transition is huge.

Most of the time turning points are usually measured retrospectively as we evaluate at what point things turned around based on different results. So really there isn't much to say until we can look back and decide when things did turn around.

Haved we turned the corner ? I don't know.

Neither do I.

But it makes for an interesting discussion.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
