Star was on the Panthers radio show tonight. He drew a big crowd and managed to sign for everyone. His wife, children, and brother were there as well. Star said he loves Charlotte, everyone has been polite to him and helped him adjust.

 

He said the biggest adjustment for him in the NFL has been learning to penetrate (giggity). In college he played with a wide stance and occupied blockers at the line of scrimmage. Here in Carolina he is expected to burst off the line and compress the pocket.

 

He said it's nice playing with guys like Hardy and CJ because they demand all the game planning from opponents which is a relief for him as a rookie. He says KK is tied to his hip. Whenever KK gets in trouble he gets yelled at (by coach Washington) and whenever he messes up KK gets yelled at too.

 

He says the rookies are a tight knit group and he's glad the team is winning to keep the veterans happy. He says when the Veterans are happy, everyone is happy.

 

They asked him about his wife and he said he just asked her to marry him, nothing fancy, he's not romantic.

 

He talked about all the stuff that came out at draft time, he spent a year out of football, started focusing on football when he became a family man. He doesn't party, just comes home and plays video games.

 

One of his favorite guys to learn from is Haloti Ngata.

 

He comes off as a nice guy. Pretty quiet. He was very polite to the fans, thanked everyone.

I can't think of anyone in the league right now I'd rather him learn from.

 

Thanks for posting!

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
