Just a little recap for you guys...

Injuries/Day's Off

DeAngelo Williams- Attending Funeral

Steve Smith- Knee Contusion (Rivera expects him back tomorrow)

Geoff Hangartner- Day Off

Charles Johnson and Jordan Gross- Day Off Tomorrow

Mike Pollack- Day Off/ Sore Shoulder

Rivera's Notes

Says the team is spending an extended amount of time doing one on one's trying to improve the pass rush.

Likes Hardy, says he is looking good and is showing maturity. Rivera said the Hardy is at 13% body fat at 290 "some odd" pounds. He also said it was Hardy's idea to put on the extra weight not the coaching staffs. Rivera said he is really excited about Hardy this year.

Said that the team did really well today in the goal line drills. (Video of goal line drill, Kuchley with the stop of the day on Tolbert: http://www.panthers....62-344ef277a278)

Said Armanti has looked good but as they go through the "season" they need to see him make plays in traffic and make plays while getting hit.

Mentions that Norman is close to returning and they hope to have him this Saturday.

Says the offensive line is key and that Bell and Silatolu are starting to play very consistent, so now it's time for them to take it to the next level. Rivera praised Gross, Kalil, and Hangartner for helping develop Silatolu and Bell.

Said Derek Anderson has a great presence in the meeting room and locker room, also likes how he has helped both the quarterback's and wide receiver's develop. Rivera also said that Anderson is still number two on the depth chart, but the rotations for games aren't set yet.

That's about it...

He has a unique skill set... Despite what others here have said, I've always believed that he'd be back... Now we'll just have to see what he brings.

People on twitter were saying that AE was in st QB for a few Wildcat plays... I'm surprised it's taken this long to see this look. I figured he'd be a gadget type player from day one... But I was wrong.

Hope he can become a contributer in this O

Looks like AE will be aPanther this year. Now we know that Smitty, LaFell, and AE will be here for sure...

b/c he said season.

its a hell of a stretch.

Smith/Lafell/Adams/Pilares/Murphy/Gettis have to be favorites.

With tutu getting 3WR reps as well you really have to wonder where AE would fit in.

Rivera and/or Hurney have made similar comments in the past referencing pre-season so I assume he simply misspoke..

I could be wrong, but I think he's referring to the pre-season.

Watch the video. He is definitely talking about the regular season.

"Armanti is coming along very well, and the nice thing for Armanti is this is his 3rd full training camp AS a wide receiver. We're starting to see what you're looking for as far as progress now. As we go further into the season, and start actually playing the games, you know, we're going to have to see some things from Armanti. We gotta see him make plays in traffic, make plays when he's getting hit. And he's done a nice job of that so far."

The meltdown is going to be epic, epic I say.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.

      Bryce’s deep passes are intermediate passes for other strong armed QBs. I will say that Bryce’s accuracy on his deep passes have improved. Before they would just sail out of bounds. Now the WR actually has a fighting chance on the ball.
