Mr. Scot

I wanna go back and review that section. I thought Tepper sounded just a tiny bit testy there.

Love hearing that. He said it yesterday too.

Sarcasm? They've been in the playoffs consistently. Given their level of success vs ours, hell yeah I'd try to emulate them.

I didn't see it as an intentional shot at Bridgewater because, per his own admission, he hasn't had a chance to really evaluate the roster yet. Now once you actually sits down and looks at the tape, then he's probably gonna be saying "oh".

Man, reporters can be such dicks. Ask a question he's already said he's not gonna answer - "I'm not going to say anything about that". Phrase the same question a different way - "Again, not going to get into that" Sheesh

Has talked to Jeremy Chinn, will reach out to McCaffrey and others.

Alaina Getzenberg finally gets a working device

Big on player character and drive

Believes you build from the lines out, with quarterback first

Mentioned left tackle...

Or up.

Says in the draft, once you get past 16 or 17, there's not a huge difference in quality of players.

Sounds like he's gonna let the football people do their jobs.

Values decision making, intelligence, arm strength and accuracy in quarterbacks.

And admits he's not an evaluator and never will be. Happy to hear that.

Talking about biting kneecaps?

His history doesn't lend to that at all. I'm guessing he's just not real used to being out front.

Reed follows up we pretty much the same question gets the same answer. Believes in the idea that you draft or sign a quarterback every year.

Newton, geez. Fitterer says he needs to get to know the roster before anything else.

Previously knew Rhule professionally, not personally. They share philosophies, especially on player development.

Tepper sounds like he's trying to say something to him. Damn, Person looks like he just got out of bed.

Holy cow, Gantt looks like he's aged. Tepper on mute

"Respectfully request that you do not get into specifics about players"

Like the Panthers pin on his lapel, by the way.

Said Tepper asked him more about cap and analytics stuff than personnel when they talked by phone. When he talked to Rhule, it was all football and he felt more comfortable.
