really good interview and worth watching.

felt that guys that had to step up and fill in for starters did well and got some good experience.

healthy and experienced LB corps with him, anderson, and davis will help next year a lot.

likes fat guys playing DT in front of him he worked out with fua yesterday. mcclain and fua getting thrown into the fire early helped with their development. likes shirley and kearse and neblett a lot. sounds like he feels good about DT.

thinks special things are going to happen if they keep momentum going forward all offseason. feels like team can make the superbowl next year (not guaranteeing it, btw).

asked if this is the closest knit team he's been a part of. said he doesn't know if it's the closest knit, but the guys that are on the team have bought in to what's going on and believes in it.

said rivera is staightforward and by the book. no room for error and demands the best. likes being in meetings with him and watching tape because of his background as a player.

I find it encouraging that most of the team leaders (Smitty, Beason, Davis, etc.) seem jazzed about the potential of this team from this point on. That the backups have been forced to step up as starters can only be to the good when it comes to the experienced depth we can field. While I won't go so far as to predict a Super Bowl appearance next year (although it probably isn't out of the realm of possibility if things fall our way), I do think we'll be a serious threat to whoever takes the Panthers on in 2012, and that Smitty's promise of the playoffs is likely to be spot on. I can't wait to see the draft and get the reports from minicamp! If the Mayans are right, let's end the world with a Panthers championship!

Kinda hard when the Superbowl is played in 2013

      Legette admits taking his catching for granted a little his rookie season

      By TD alt · Posted

      The bad thing is that Xavier Legette kind of ignored the Jugs machine his rookie season. The good thing is that he's committed to it now. Catching is important to an NFL receiver (sarcasm), but, perhaps just as important is a receiver's---any player's---mindset.  "This offseason, the young wideout has gotten back to something in terms of preparation (Jugs machine). 'Oh man, it’s always been something I’ve done, and I don’t know why, but I felt like I could take a little breath,' explained Legette (via Darin Gantt of Panthers.com). 'And when you’re playing in this game, you can never do that. It’s always a way to get better, and that’s one of the ways to help with catching. For sure, for sure. In my mind, I’m thinking about ways, things I can do. What can I do to have less drops this coming season in Year 2? 'The whole mindset has changed, man,' added Legette. 'Trying to do anything I got to. I’m sacrificing a lot of things that I used to do outside of the building to put my work inside the building.'" https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/xavier-legette-focused-on-reducing-drops-that-plagued-rookie-year-with-panthers-01k1692c0tz9 So, yeah, it wasn't good coming in taking some things for granted, but Legette is young. His mentality appears to have changed and he appears to be maturing and he's been putting in a lot of work by all accounts.  I know some of you are down on him, but I still have faith. Last season was a disjointed mess in its entirety, but there were still some flashes, particularly with route running. With Legette's seemingly better fit as the WR2, mindset and focus---doing his actual job catching the ball---he should be able to improve. Lastly, I'd like to add, props to Legette for being so open about the need to improve and change his mindset. Some guys wouldn't necessarily admit that publicly. If nothing else, he's honest and down-to-earth.

      It is worth noting the fanbase has long held a love hate relationship with PFF over the years. Now that we are employing some of their people and actively using their data in our roster building approach going forward this should serve as the end all be all to any debate. This is either going to end really well or really bad. It's the Panthers. So save your energy and give it some time.
