Panthers. . .or Secret Agents?

The Panthers are not taking many chances regarding their new wrinkles for 2012. Approaching the door at Bank of America Stadium Thursday, one could hear the shouts of players staging a walk-through in the large corridor. As soon as a reporter entered to walk to the media room, the players paused. When the coast was clear, action resumed: “Red Zone … let's go …”

Good, we've been way too open for way too long when practicing and I'm sure it's hurt us many times in the past.

Under the Fox administration, even when they had the tarps up you could walk right up to the fence surrounding the practice fields and watch what was going on (as evidenced by my previous "practice observations" threads).

During one of the first "closed" practices I attended last year, I tried the old "peek through the fence" trick and was immediately chased away by good ol' JC (security guy) who apologized and told me the coaches would yell at him if they saw someone peeking through the fence.

The next step is to put a bubble over one of the practice fields, so they don't have to deal with our next SB opponent renting an apartment across the street and video taping our practices like our last SB opponent did.

On the other hand, the stuff we were running under Fox was so vanilla (especially towards the end) that I'm not sure it mattered if our practices were being scouted... LOL

Our media don't have the slightest clue what they are looking at anyways.

Belichick used to show up in a patriots hoodie and videotape the practices in plain view.

Jimmy Clausen is doing security guard work too?

[rayzor]

i guess that's one way jimmy can get a uniform.

JC is a team player guys.

[Frizzy350]

As a QB he really cant make special teams contributions so it's nice to see him doing something besides sitting on the bench.

On another note with Rivera and Chud running the show we actually have quite a bit of trickery up our sleeves with scheming. Getting the guys familiar with these plays early and keeping it closed is only going to make it harder for teams to stop us. With Fox there was really no point in hiding anything. We were going to run the ball up the middle or off tackle. Occasionally switch it up with a toss or a draw play.

Foxy is fairly good at his own style of play, but it demands very particular personnel and multiple road graters in the trenches.

Super Bowl?!?!? O_o

Jimmy should be one of those guys walking up and down the aisles selling Gatorade. At least he will get in some reps that way.

LOL, JC as in JC Felder who has been one of the main security guys for the Panthers from day 1.
