Just started...

Talked about key to containing AP is playing disciplined football, what they are working on.

Mac mentioned Gamble's play - Rivera said he is happy with his progress this year and how Ron Meeks has worked with him.

Rivera said he was bummed he couldn't go to the White House with the 85 Bears recently.

Talked about staying close with Singletary and Frazier, but still wants to beat them Sunday.

Likes Cam showing his emotions, wants that to carry over to teammates and coaches.

Jim asked if Ron would send Christmas cards to the former coaching staff for keeping Steve Smith on the shelf for two years. LOL

Asked about the 3-4, Rivera said the plan is NOT to switch to this base defense over the next several years, because we don't have the personnel for it. Instead, they want mixed looks to keep the opponent off balance. Gives McDermott more options to call, to adjust. Wow - adjustments in-game, what the hell are those???

Asked if Butler will play - Ron said Captain will start.

Chris Harris name was mentioned and Rivera started laughing. That says it all. He really likes Chris, gave him his props, said anything was possible, but it didn't sound like anything was happening with this.

To defend AP we need to play disciplined football and use gap football. Work on tackling and force AP to go to the sidelines

Discussed Chris gamble and how he's been more focused then ever. Talked to chris gamble in the preseason and told him that they needed to him to be the number one.

he's disappointed about not being able to go the white house with the other 85 bears

On why he called cam "Mr Moopy head". Cam newton wears his emotions on his sleeve. he loves the fact that cam shows that he cares and expects more from himself every sunday. he's got a drive that other teammates should take note of.

doesn't plan on sending christmas cards to j fox for keeping smitty..lol

He also discussed how smitty has been the absoloute professional and how he loves everything the new coaching staff is doing. That was key to him staying.

Question about the 3-4:

Ron said that were not gonna go to the 3-4 its gonna be a combination of 46 and 4-3 with a bit of 3-4. overall with the versatility that we have on defense we can have multiple looks.

darius butlers status is up in the air sunday because of family issues. captain will start.

he discussed chris harris and his history with him. If the opportunity presents itself we may see chris harris back in charlotte.

Someone who's lived in this area way longer than I have tell me this. Did Fox - or any of the prior coaches for that matter - ever get on local sports radio much?

Pretty sure Fox didn't, or not much anyway. Hurney did a little in the past, during the Fox era. Siefert - never. Can't remember if Capers did.

Its cool that Rivera does that.

      Panthers re-signing P Sam Martin

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Sam Martin   CARPunter#6 Panthers re-signed P Sam Martin to a two-year contract. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Martin’s deal is up to $5 million. Martin joined the Panthers last season on a one-year deal and wound up booting 56 punts for an average of 47.2 yards per punt. Martin is a 13-year vet of the league who has spent time with four different franchises. He landed a career-best 48.2 percent of his kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line last season.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Basbear · Posted

      Surprised CB is that low.  19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players.  So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first.  If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value.  MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others.    Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.
