Panthers get Fred Graves (Titans) as WR coach

[YoungPanthers89]

Graves was part of a staff that went to the team owner specifically lobbying to get Young kicked off the team.

How exactly does signing that guy indicate we might be interested in getting Young?

exactly, i never said that hiring graves would give us more chance of getting VY.

Connection =/= getting VY

Graves,Proehl....pleasing steve smith.....starting to get a picture of the meeting steve had with Jerry now.

Sounded to me like you meant "connection" as in something to help get him here.

Apologies if you meant otherwise.

Oh poo, Graves is a racist... JR, that 50% of the public who thought you were a racist just jumped to 75%...

And we have another ex-Brown coach again.

That was the year Chudzinski was their TE Coach.

Somebody might want to warn the Panther receivers about this part:

Graves is occasionally unconventional -- his guys regularly catch bricks to work on their hands.

Titans Position Coach to Watch: Fred Graves

So will Lafell be catching cinder blocks to help him get over having small hands?

Okay, he already knows there's nobody on the roster who can throw a football so he's going to bricks?

Go get the Milwaukee Bucks- they've been tossing bricks all season...

[Mr. Scot]

They'll adapt the Juggs Machine :eek:

(you won't want to be standing behind them when that drill is happening)

[BigCPantherFan]

ouch!!!

[Mr. Scot]

Actually, Jerry Rice once said that having to catch bricks while working a summer construction job helped him become a better receiver.

Wonder if Graves will let them wear gloves for that drill :sosp:

[BigCPantherFan]

any new mumblings about Proehl

[Mr. Scot]

Nothing yet.
