talked about the combine, similarities between his rookie year and this one coming up. mentioned blackmon as an option but really wants a dt. talked about cam awhile and then kinda side stepped a question about otah, said he can be as good as he wants to be. didn't really sound too convinced he can stay healthy. he also had a lot of praise for bell. said he'd like to see more veterans in different positions to help the young guys, referenced the o-line in 03 with lots of vets which helped his transition.

talked about combine and how it used to be.

talked about comparison of 2002/2003 panthers to 2011/2012 panthers. in 02 defense was solidified and just needed to bring in a few on offense and boom...superbowl run. same type deal now except offense had solidified itself and now it's just getting defense help and healthy. gross said he heard that its mainly the defense that needs some help and agreed with that. said that if there's a "can't miss" guy on offense like blackmon then maybe thats what we should do but said he would be excited if there was some big DT sitting there at the 8/9 spot that could wreak some havoc in the middle.

talked about view of cam prior to draft and post draft. bought into what people were saying about him being cocky and thought that maybe we should have drafted dareus. learned quickly that newton wasn't the guy the media was portraying. humble guy, hard worker, and team player. very impressed with how he did and his work ethic. proud to be on the team with him and fun to be on the field with. makes the front look better than it is sometimes.

mindset of the team is different largely because of cam's mindset. he doesn't expect cam to set records every year, just get a little bit better yearly.

last year was as fun of a season as he's had in a long time. hoping to get back to the superbowl again with the panthers.

talked about wanting to finish out his contract if he can.

aside from wanting/needing a new DT, bring in some more vet guys to help development of younger guys. said he learned a lot from the vets that was on the team when he got in.

talked about otah. knew him prior to him getting drafted. said otah can be is good as he wants to be but sounds like he doesn't know where that was. really impressed with how bell jumped in, though. he's glad that people are going to be back from injury next year and that there will be a lot of competition all along the line "and thats the way it should be". hope otah is back and healthy but with the history it's hard to know whats going to happen.

With 2 rookie DTs. Edwards returning, and Kearse and Shirley playing fairly well down the stretch, I find the DT comment curious. Especially since RR seemed to think we were set there. No WR, No LB, No CB, No S, No DE mentioned?

Was Gross tipping the Panther's hand? Not that he knows anything, but they do talk to each other.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother, I don't want to drop the amount of rage I have about BY and the fuging Pickett signing....when murray was free, tua was free, lance was about the same cost. But you know during practice when other teammates see and hear the passing for any of them compared to BY, he may cry right then.... It does feel like Dan and Tillis were told "make BY work, by any means". You recall the first plan was to drop 163 million on OGs to protect the little fellow.......then drafting WRs and they even signed his buddy WR this FA period..... I just go back to Dan Morgan wanting instill competition throughout the roster and T-H-A-T is your QB room ??? bloody hell, what a joke and disrespect to the whole roster outside that group....

      Id drop this in here- I fully believe nearly ALLL the Tmac hate leading up to the draft came from the Panthers..... There was plenty and it was believable, cause many did just that. There was huge questions and about 85% of the huddle took the cheese hate.  I do have this too- Banks has a broken feet and a history of feet/ankle issues. If he didn't, 19 would have been fair landing spot. Of course, but Prince spoke highly of him in a Twitter post....former teammates and all, but he still made the post and I haven't seen other players prince did so for.... Maybe the 51st on banks, but maaaaaannnn big men with broken feet broken its feels like it never ends well. I mean after brain, spine, I think Feet are the career killer leader.  Draft DL feels weak in every way.    Last morsel- there's a weak rumor of Panthers trading for DT Payne out on the vine....(his price I feel kills it, but new contract solves that for trades)....

      If we go all in and sell out with Bryce as our QB, it will even more entrench the idea that Tepper is at minimum running the QB room for me. Now i could be wrong and Dan really is that confident in Bryce all by himself, but nothing this team has done in the past 3 offseasons leads me to believe that there hasnt been some noise from big T. He's admitted that he walks through the office making his opinion known. To me, Bryce's output has just not generated that kind of confidence that we are playoff worthy other than against the Rams. Against the SB champs, just damn.
