Smitty was on the Radio (Wfnz- the Drive- 3-7pm) and gave some of his observation of this week Ota practices. Here are some highlights.

 

1. Robert Lester is starting to make some plays at safety.

 

2. Josh Thomas is still quietly making plays.

 

3. Gaydosh (The DT from Canada ) is earning the name Shane Burton Jr. Doesn't look athletic but keeps making plays.

 

4. Byron Bell and Amini are looking good and making strides. You can see a difference in them.

 

5. Star and KK are looking good.

 

6. Brandon Williams has a nickname "Big Muscles 86" says he made a catch before he hurt his knee last week and you can here the ball go (goop) when it hit his hands. Says he has a powerful grip.

 

7. Kuchely made a play on a reverse to 89# and Smitty was like whooa!! At how he showed up out of nowhere.

 

8. Gettlemen is at every practice taking mental notes.

 

And the biggest info I got.

 

9. Smitty Comments on Shula

Likes the better verbiage in the offense. " A slant is a slant why make a speech out of it"

Likes the Fact " That Shula isn't auditioning for a HC job" "He is looking at developing more then Chud did" "if a play isn't ran right Shula will run it again 3-4 more times"

Smitty says "he is shocked that most of the 1st plays they Run are Running plays" Which he thinks will help the offense.

Smitty also said "it looks like Shula has learned from his mistakes as well as the mistakes of the  Former OC" which is another shot at Chud.

 

 

After this I have doubt what happen to the offense last season. CHUD!!

 

From Ron's Comments "of better communication"

To Smitty to no Player crying or tweeting when he took the Brown's job.

He also complimented Mike Mitchell on a diving pick he made.

 

I've notice that we're not really going to get much from Smitty when it comes to how the other WR's are doing. He's real cautious and calculated whenever he's asked about the other WR's. He use to be the same way about the DB's, but he's loosened up a bit when it comes to dishing out compliments about them.

I like what i hear from smitty... however, I dont know if i like the direct verbiage and the run-heavy 1st down simulation. I know its only OTAs but i think DC's could have a field day if we call the same plays at the same situation [a la foxball]. although we have better athletes and a better QB then we did back then, so who knows.

Just remember, they're cutting down the verbiage in the huddle so they have more time at the line of scrimmage to read the defense and audible. When Cam had that freedom last year, our offense started purring.

I for one know I was happy when the Browns grabbed Chud, I felt he was the main reason the Offense started off slow. I mean there was no reason to under use the RB's like he did last year. And I hope that everything I'm hearing now out of OTA I will see when the season starts. And I'm glad that Shula has learned from his the past I really hope he can take us to another level, I want him to do for our team like what Caldwell did for the Ravens when he took over there Offense. They really took off when that move was made.

not surprised about chud. still uncertain about shula and not completely thrilled about the offense being more predictable on forst downs, but whatever. the players are apparently buying in and happy to have someone other than chud so there's that. i hope he does well.

 

aside from brandon williams being hurt, sounds good about everyone.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
