Panthers News Nuggets from the Litter Box

I've been trying to come up with a catchy title for my Panther article round-ups other than "Article Round-up" or "Notes & Quotes". I always tend to lean towards humor hence the trial title above. What do you think? Do you get the visual? If you've never had an indoor cat (with litter box) you probably won't. If you have a suggestion for naming these types of posts that relate to ‘Panthers' I would love to hear it.

Now onward and upward!

• Let's start with an interview with former Panther LB Kevin Greene, who has taken a job as LB coach with Green Bay.  

They're going to feel my competitive football fire," said Greene of the players he will oversee. "It's a natural thing. You can't hide that..."I'm going to coach the way I played the game."

Will that include head butting! I'll never forget seeing his wife reaching down from the front row in the stands and pounding on his pads to get him (and her) fired up before a game. Loved it!

• If you think the Panthers should cut LB Landon Johnson then Steve Reed points out that it can't happen at least until March. 

• Adding yet another sign that DE Julius Peppers will not return to the Panthers his jersey's are now on the clearance rack! Who wants one now?
  

• Darin Gantt makes a good argument that we should not be worried about cap space. He has the numbers to back it up.
  

• You can find a couple positive blogger comments on new secondary coach Ron Milus here. 

• You will find a lot of negative blogger comments on new LB coach Richard Smith here. I'm not going to rush to judgment on Smith until TC.
  

• And finally, here's a nice summary of which high profile FA's will be cut, tagged, traded or retained (which of course includes our own JP).
  

To show my appreciation for your continued visitation to CSR here's my favorite pic of upcoming Sports Illustrated cover model Bar Rafaeli. Gotta love a chic named 'Bar' who is Smoookin hottt!
