Got to tour the stadium today

I've taken a couple of school groups to do the paid tours before. I highly recommend them if you get the chance by the way.

Last week's was different. A good friend of mine works there and I've tried not to ever ask for anything because I know he gets hit up for favors all the time. But he offered and I accepted. Took my basketball team (I'm a high school varsity basketball coach) for some behind the scenes stuff. Highlights were going into the Panthers home locker room, weight room, linebackers meeting room and team meeting room. We had a few of the empolyees talk to the team about various things and tell some personal stories. 

A few things we heard and saw:

-Luke really is that nice and in season is a complete game film freak. Every night until 9pm, watching film.

-Luke's hands. Said they have seen him flip a 45 pound plate and catch it with one hand. 

-Cam wears crocs.

-CJ has some impressive pricey shoes in his locker.

-Michael Jordan's luxury box is the place to be on game day.

-The stuff we hear about last year's locker room being crazy right is absolutely true.

-The stuff about Thomas Davis being a great guy and a super leader isn't true. He's even better than that.

-Every employee we talked to was first class and treated my guys with the utmost respect.

Here are a few pictures (took a lot more but mostly with my guys a bit more recognizable in them so can't post those).

Is that a picture of Greg Hardy in the 76 jersey on the wall in the third pic

Yes. In the hall out from the locker room they have photos of all Panthers who have made the pro bowl or all-pro.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
