Nice casual interview.

[Gallagher]

Good interview. I dug the part at the beginning where he laid out all the issues we still need to resolve.

We've got to find a couple players at a couple positions, important positions. We've got to find our third wide receiver. We've got to make sure we've got the backup tight end position taken care of. We've got to make sure of the development of Amini Silatolu at our left guard position. We've got to make sure we feel good about our third corner. We've got to feel good about our safeties. And the health of our two linebackers, Jon Beason and Thomas Davis. We've got to make sure those things have all come together for us to be a good football team.

Classic. Sounds like it could have been a recap of the best threads of the Huddle over the last couple months.

[KendrickPanther]

Just re watched. He really had a ton to say about the depth chart.

"We've got to find a couple of players at a couple of positions and important positions"

-3rd wide reciever

-Backup Tight End

-Develop Amini Silatolu

-3rd Corner

-Safeties

-Health of 2 LBs (Davis and Beason)

Interesting he makes it sound like #2cb and #2 WR are settled.

[Kuech the Sneak]

Is he thinking captain is the #2 corner?

[Dex]

Is he thinking captain is the #2 corner?

If Willy Wonka ran the secondary he would be #1.

[Gallagher]

Is he thinking captain is the #2 corner?

He said third corner, but I think that's assuming that Captain has the Nickle position locked. So really it's the #2 corner.

[KendrickPanther]

He didn't specify that Captain is #2 but I would assume it.

[KendrickPanther]

I love this line about Gatorade. Seriously Marty, for 20 grand a year I will be your Gatorade coordinator. It will never be an issue with me on the job.

[SCP]

I like the guy. He's the type of guy the players are gonna want to play for for a long time.

[panther4life]

I think Josh Norman can lock down the #2 corner spot.

[Ivan The Awesome]

He's really high on Amini. I mean 2nd round pick aside, I like that they are focusing so much on him.

[Snake]

I think Josh Norman can lock down the #2 corner spot.

Think I will reserve judgement on Norman till the 3rd pre season game is over.

[Keep Pounding]

I like how open RR is about the team, Fox was so boring and never really opened up to the media. But RR really gets decently in-depth, and as we seen from the reporter, they are happen to be able to hear something out of Carolina other than "it is what it is"...

[KendrickPanther]

Norman is a rookie that was known as a gambler and cheater in coverage. Let our 5th round pick go through a training camp before you have him blanketing Julio Jones.
