ron rivera presser at the combine

[Proudiddy]

Shockey's situation is interested, talking about retirement. Barnidge could see a huge increase in his role this year.

Would love more Barny, but I really hope we can keep all 3. I don't see why Shock would want to retire after the year he had... He's got a lot left.

This is a thread for Panthers combine updates. Stop derailing.

No this is a thread about Ron Rivera's Combine Presser. Start reading.

according to who?

According to me. I know everything.

If Shock retires it has to do with him thinking that he is not able to play the game at a high level anymore due to an injury or some other circumstance. He definitely still has the drive and passion for the game because it was displayed every time he stepped foot on the field.

Who is the best in your opinion, you know, from your vast playing experience in NCAA Football 12?

They should draft this guy:

i don't know...i think he just enjoys his free time. the dude does nothing but travel around the world and seems like he's having a blast doing it.

Bring Shock back as an assistant TE coach or something. I would like to see a coach on our team out there getting in players faces and hyping them up. Thats the one critique I have of Rivera & Co, you never really see them get mad or show any emotion at all on the sidelines, whether it is good or bad.

trapped at my desk all day. i wish i could. hopefully tomorrow and the rest of the weekend are just as nice.

All I'm saying is it's a reach if we take a DT early. Now if they were to trade down and get an extra 2 or a third I could live with it.

That is what people said about drafting Cam at QB last year. QB was such a glaring hole that need factored in.

DL is at that point.

That's true, every time he tweets it is from a different country haha

added to OP...

sdutChargers Panthers signed Jyles Tucker, will make him a DE, pass rush specialist. Ron Rivera: "We want to see if he still has some juice left."

caplannfl I asked Ron Rivera about DE/LB Jyles Tucker. He said his workout was really strong. Will line up at DE and see what he has left.

not from the rivera presser but from kalil's

josephperson Matt Kalil says he met informally w/ the Panthers last night. Huge OT will be gone when Panthers pick. Prolly doesn't get past Vikings at 3.

The guy who won 5 consecutive national championships with ECU in Dynasty Mode. Trust him.

false, pencil mustache. (It was the University of Richmond)

All joking aside, OL and CB are a much bigger need.

Speculation that Wharton will be cut. Gross is not the player he once was and gets abused by younger ends. Otah has a huge vagina. We gotta protect Cam.

It's a passing league now, and if we have Captain as the other starter next year, I'd expect to be around the bottom of the league in passing defense. Captain is a good football player but he isn't a starter. We all know this, some have trouble admitting it.

Just to keep it all in perspective this time last year the consensus #1 pick for us was Fairly or Bowers.
