@daringantt Panthers LT Jordan Gross on The Bottom Line, ... now.

Can anyone give a recap for guys that are unable to watch like me?

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.

    • If I could pie more, I would. Fantastic 
    • Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
    • I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
