what'd he say?! what'd he say?! what'd he say?!

I think he's going to talk about football.

[Ship]

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.

Bell sucks and is useless. I'm pretty sure the guys here know a little bit better than Gross would.

Right!

And according to John Fox, Jake was playing perfectly fine in 2009.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

and that's the bottom line cause Jordan Gross said so

[MHS831]

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.

^need a beast on the d-line none of those players you listed are 'beastly'.

smokescreen?
