So, I asked Gil Brandt about Norv

[ladypanther]

On Sirius NFL Radio Late Hits they wanted to talk about coaches...I called in and asked what we could expect Norv's impact to be on our offense.

Gil said he has known him since Norv was a college QB.   Raved about how smart he is, hard worker, etc.  I liked these 3 things:

• Said he calls a lot of screens (some Panther fans may not recognize that play)
• Said 2 or 3 times that he is a great play caller
• Mentioned that he is a developer of QB's and quoted Aikman as saying he would not have been the player he was if it were not for Norv.

I am very excited about our OC. Some of you may have already guessed that....lol. 

This will be a very good year.

I have an extremly good feeling intuitivly about Norv and our offense as a whole. 

 

I think the offense will be really, REALLY good. 

 

Cam with decent coaching, playcalling,   Healthy Samuel, new peice in Moore, I think Funchess breaks out with Norv....

 

The Kalils healthy, RBs stacked..

 

gatDAMN i caint wait

Nice job calling in and getting Gil's opinion!

I was encouraged by the latest Panthers Podcast.  Bryan, Bill &Max all mentioned that Norv was very vocal on the field during OTAs / Mini Camp. Much more hands on than Shula who stayed in the background.  I think we really needed this change.

Have you ever listened to the guy?  He is an encyclopedia of knowledge about the game and the players.

I can't imagine he will be anything but an improvement. He has the knowledge and he has the correct type of talent to work with.

I've really begun to wonder lately what exactly Shula and Dorsey did do.

Sure as heck doesn't sound like they did a lot of coaching.

It showed too. Shula's game plan wasn't terrible but almost everything after that was. Having Norv might just be what a few of our players need.

I agree with you, he's terrific. My point is that, well, he looks like death.

Shula certainly succeeded as a quarterback coach. He's just not an OC.

Well, he’s 85 years old. Simply being a step ahead of the grim reaper at that age is doing pretty well.

Can you really say he did a good job with Cam?
