Matt Rhule interview

Don't know how to post the Facebook link.  The new Panthers reporter Kristen Balboni just interviewed Matt on Facebook live and I thought it was insightful.  Couple of takeaways:

- Moving on from Cam was a tough decision.  Sounded like it was more about preference for Teddy and what he can do within the scheme.  A lot of positives about Teddy's qualities as a leader and how well he knows the system they want to run.  You can read a lot into his comments but I came away thinking that Matt didn't see Cam fitting into his culture and wants guys who will fit the system.  

- Looking to build through the draft with FA used to solidify with players who will fit the culture and scheme in some way.  Talked a lot about removing uncertainty in evaluating players.  I came away with the sense that Matt Rhule has a tremendous amount of input in building the roster which makes me feel better that Marty isn't making the decisions.  

Edit:  here is the link on Panthers site  https://www.panthers.com/video/matt-rhule-1-on-1-with-kristen-balboni

I really hope we moved on from Cam due to injury concerns and we're just doing the right thing by Cam and not disclosing that and posing it as a football decision. Honestly, that would be commendable. But, if we really did choose Teddy over Cam as a pure football decision... oh wee mayne.

It looks to me as teddy being a good fit for the system was a separate thought from moving on from cam.

The Panthers were Cam's team, that was Cam's locker room. As a new coach coming in to create a new environment, you can't play second fiddle to one of the players. And it may very well have been that Cam would have deferred to Rhule (Cam's a smart guy and a professional), but it is the other players who would look to Cam when it came to being given tough work/orders from the new coach.

Team dynamics are tough, and installing a culture is near impossible when there is already one in place. I think that a lot of the cuts we saw were to clear that out as much as anything. Keep the ones who naturally buy in or understand that the buy in is their ticket to the team, and set the others free. And we also can't forget how many players had strong, strong loyalties to Rivera as well.

Rhule made the right move, but it was a tough one.

      Corbett might not be gone

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      No team in the league would sit back and say Mays outplayed Hunt or Lewis so its a typical case of stats (or ratings) not telling the story. The team also was in a much better position at the end of the year, where the begging was very rough all around. Everyone was learning the new scheme, calls, learning how new teammates played in real games and all of that changed the second half of the year. We started getting actual production from the run game and receivers and everyone’s play changed from the beginning of the year.   As a side note Mays goes down or another linemen who is coming in? We have zero depth and Brady Christiansen will be hitting free agency to be a starter elsewhere.  With as many holes as we have it makes sense as long as it’s team friendly deal. I’m not opposed to drafting someone as well, but we know what we are getting from Corbett when healthy and he’s above average playing multiple positions. Maybe they have it as an open competition between him and Mays, loser is the prime backup for G and C
