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.

Sounds like he is going to work out in Charlotte instead of Miami this year in order to build chemistry.

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!

overall, the pieces are there.. we need to continue getting solid draft picks, coaches need to coach up, which fills the rest of the roster and sky is the limit..

Thanks for the link! Great video. I don't think I quite enjoyed it as much as CarolinaCatBrigade...

Kinda hard when the Superbowl is played in 2013
