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...

seriously, that's how you connect the dots? wait, this has to be a joke..

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.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
