Summary so far:

 

-Run game was going well until Hartsock got hurt.  When he came back, his knee was never the same.  Run game suffered because of it.

 

-Thinks the solution to fix run game is get another young TE that can block and Hartsock isn't getting any younger.  Said we need to fix the offensive line with big bodies

 

-Doesn't want to have as many free agents as we did.  Ideally wants 8-10 UFAs.

 

-Real high on King, McNutt, and Travis Bond  (he stated he views them as draft picks)

 

-Very excited about Ron.  They think alike and have a great working relationship.

 

-Said most important part of coaching staff is teaching.  Used Lester, White, Klein as examples of how strong the staff is.  At times, we played 6 rookies on defense and ended with #2 defense.  

 

-Nate Chandler exceeded his expectations and thinks he is a tremendous player/athlete.

 

-Asked about double down on offensive line "hog mollies".  He answers with purpose of free agency is the set yourself up so that you can take the best player in draft and not worry about positions of need.  Star and KK were not drafted on positional need but rather they were the top players left on board.  If it happens again this year, they will do same thing.

-Cam had an excellent year.  Disappointed people blew his "7 second pause" out of proportion.  No matter who the QB is they have to make plays from the pocket and Cam showed over and over again that he can do that.

 

-Really matured this year, not off field, but on field.  Completely took ownership of being the QB and showing the NFL what he can do.  He is our QB moving forward and I expect him to get a lot better.  Unlimited potential.

On Hardy:

-We're 'victims' of the cap.  There has been a smoothing out process, no longer 5-8 million dollar contract spikes.  Need to view it in long term, not just Greg.  We need to sign Cam, Luke, Star, KK, etc in the next few years.  We certainly don't want him just walking away, DUH.  

 

-We are in conversations with Cam about extension.  But we will do things on the Panthers schedule.  Looking at our options.  The goal is to get better as a team, keep the core of team in tact, and still be able to bring in new guys.  Makes it more difficult if you let good players walk away.  

 

-We hit on the 1 year deals this year and hope some of them return.

 

-Says watching NFL playoffs is more an extension of his job.  It's always a learning process for him. Who's in/who's out and why.  Always trying to get better as an evaluator.

His self-deprecating humor kills me.  Said when he and his wife walk down the street they look like the number 10, lol!

To continue the discussion at hand, I agree that he appears to know exactly where he wants this team to go.  100% business, which is what we need.

Here's how marty's interview would've gone

"We didn't run the ball as much as we like to. This can only mean that we don't have enough talent in that area. Also we need to bend over and give Hardy whatever he wants instead of going over the negotiation process because I don't have skills there. Why do you think I work so well with Rosenhaus?"

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
