Talks about moving to outside, seemed hesitant about it. Said he'd take the same approach to playing it though.

Talked about Luke being so good and the vets helping him. How Luke adapts to coaching so well.

Talked about the 3-4 and how 50% of snaps last season were from the 3-4 alignment. Covered a few other things about the defense and so fourth.

Talked about A. Smith being fast and making fun of him for taking breaks and getting some drink on the sideline because of Stewart and Williams. How Smith couldn't turn the corner on the defense.

Talked about the SOS not meaning a whole lot.

Self scouted himself and Luke, extra effort plays that Luke played and that's what made him special. About staying disciplined on defense by staying in your gaps, but coming up and making plays when it counted. Having fun on the field while playing.

Talked about what players impressed him the most on defense, mentioned Luke and his ROTY for defense.

Talked about the strength of the draft and what position that the Panther's should draft. Mentioned receiver and a joke about Smith and Ron Edwards being old. Mentioned WR, DT, CB and taking the BPA if some one drops.

synopsis for those of us unable to view at the moment?

So far, he's talked about:

Switching positions: He would be open to anything. If the coaches ask him to punt, he'll start stretching. He's made his personal motto "whatever it takes coach" and he refers to the various moves he made in college (Runningback, Safety, Linebacker, etc.). But his personality fits best at middle linebacker because he wants to be in on every play and likes the freedom.

3-4: We have 4 great linebackers, but they are all 4-3 backers by nature though. However, through presnap shifts and the like, we actually ran around half our snaps with 3-4 fundamentals.

Schedule: The game he is looking forward to? The first one. He can't wait to get back and see the field again. He's learned not to take the game for granted. He also talks about how we were so close in so many games, and he wants to be out there to make that play next time.

Recapping last season: "Strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack" talks about how when everybody is playing their gaps right and believes in the guys around them, they are a lock down defense (like the San Diego game). Talks about how great and instinctive Luke was and how he was telling him not to worry about defensive rookie of the year: "don't sweat it, you're a shoe in to win it"

The Draft: touches on how we could be looking at a safety or wide reciever, but you always have to be ready to scoop up a talented player that shouldn't be available at your pick: "some people questioned the Luke pick, but you know, I got hurt, so then it looks genius" and about how it's important to get players who are that good. Also says he wouldn't sneeze at getting a big defensive tackle like Siragusa. Jokes a bit at Smitty "Everybody says you're too old, but we know you're not too old. *smiles*"

Good stuff. You always like the guy more after hearing him talk on some stuff.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
