Gil Brandt and Alex Marvez broadcasting from Spartanburg

Gettleman did not change anything from the college scouting process that was already in place.

Easier for one guy to adjust than 10.

Said Hurney put together a hell of a staff. From scouting to cap manager rob Rodgers .

Unlikely to negotiate contracts during season as its too much of a distraction.

He told Richardson he was going to keep Rivera and give him a chance, something he said he would do if he ever got a gm job

 

I guess the myth that Gettleman didn't have a say in keeping Rivera around has just been debunked...

[panthers55]

It was great to listen to the whole broádcast. I like the fact that they visited for 2 days. You get the sense that they really understand what is going on. Marves said that the he didn't see Atlanta going 13-3 this year even if they were as good because their competition namely the Panthers are going to be much improved. Gil said he thought three months ago we might be a surprise team and came away thinking he was right. He was very complementary and seemed to have a good time reciting esoteric information about all the players histories. He is a walking Encyclopedia.

@SiriusXMNFL: Newton said "the time is now" for @Panthers. “I think everybody knows that in this organization from the janitor down to the head coach."

@SiriusXMNFL: Newton: "You see people walking differently with a purpose. With meetings, you see people who weren’t taking notes taking notes."

 

 

 

sounds to me like anyone doubting team chemistry being at an all time high, shouldn't.
