Players only meeting?

[Guest Irv]

Is it necessary this year? or should something like that be used only on years where we know were a playoff team but something isnt right. Personally i would say no .

I like the idea, it builds team morale and Camaraderie.

I think the fact that this hasn't happened (to public knowledge) is a testament to the chemistry the new coaching staff has developed with the players.

[logic1977]

Media over hypes it anyways.

[Carolina Husker]

Since none of you are players, how would you have an opinion on it.

Not sure if we have a leader out there who could pull such a thing off with Beason being on IR. Cam is still a rookie and does not have the clout yet. Gross maybe could.

To be successful I think it'd have to be a conglomerate of players. We still *could* go

8-0, but if that were to happen IMO, I think it'd take something out of the norm to spark it.

Like a previous poster said, it could have already happened and we don't know about it.

I think someone like Shockey (yes, Shockey - he's new to us, but he's a vet with two rings and from what I've read, he's really going the extra mile to be a leader) or Smitty could do it for the Offense, but I don't know if there's a Defense player who has the rep to do it at the moment. Of course, just because Beason and Davis are on IR doesn't mean they couldn't call it. They have certainly been invested in helping the D get better however they might.

team is signifcantly better than last year......is dealing w/ massive injuries on D and plugging new bodies into a scheme that is new to begin with......

no reason for a players only meeting.....Carolina has been more competitive than anyone in the NFL would have believed heading in

The best players only meetings are the ones that the media never catches wind of

when those two are an issue, which they aren't and it doesn't always achieve what they wanted.

there really isn't a reason for it this year.

Gross pulled 40-45 players together during the lockout to hold practices.. Gross could def do it.

I wish someone would call a players only meeting at the LOS, just after the other team snapped the ball.

[TylerDurden]

I always assumed "players only" meetings suggest the coaching staff is incompetent or the players don't trust them... I don't think we have that problem so it isn't needed.
