"@RobbieAndreu Hearing from a very well-connected source that Will Muschamp is targeting Mike Shula as a possible replacement for Charlie Weis."

An interesting 'behind the mic" look at Ron Rivera and our promising, young Panthers.

Steve Reed Reports via Twitter reports:
"WR David Gettis was just taken off on a golf cart. He isn't putting any pressure on his left leg."

Hopefully this isn't anything too serious and the training staff is just being cautious. The Panthers have already been snake bitten enough during camp.

Steve Reed @carolinagrowl tweets:
"The Dolphins have signed free agent QB Matt Moore to a two-year contract."

It's great to see Moore land on his feet. Last year Matt wasn't exactly setup to succeed because of a spate of injuries on the and some of John Fox's coaching decisions.

NFL Analyst Dave Razzano adds:
"RT @RUSSLANDE: While I like Orton, I think Matt Moore is a vastly under-rated QB and will easily win the starting QB job and will shine ..."

I'm certain we all wish Matt the very best in Miami. I look forward to seeing Matt show the world his talents in Miami!

Adam Schefter reports via Twitter that, "The stay is granted. Lockout is on."

Essentially this means that the lockout will stay in place until the matter is heard before the appeals court on June 3rd.

Check out this week's Panthers Pulse where John Hancock interviews Marty Hurney, and subsequently both interview QB guru George Whitfield who is working with Cam Newton. It turns out Cam is working with not only Whitfield but is also being mentored by Warren Moon and Brett Farve.

Quote of the interview by George Whitfield comparing Ben Roethlisberger and Cam Newtown:
"I've always said, Ben is a Hummer and Cam is like a Hummer Sport. You put a spoiler on him. He's still a Hummer too, just faster."

Hurney will be on the Panthers Pulse every Thursday on WBT 1110 at 7pm ET every Thursday. If you can't catch it live, you can always listen to the podcast.

There are currently 35 players on the Panthers roster that were drafted by Marty Hurney. Only the Packers were better with 36 players. There are also some surprises in the list (e.g. the Saints were near the bottom).

carolinagrowl: With Tyler Brayton out, rookie DE Greg Hardy is getting reps with the first team at RDE ahead of Everette Brown. Charles Johnson is at LDE.

Gantt has a great article regarding Jimmy Clausen's progress. Things are starting to slow down for Clausen and he's keeping the guys in Cactus Coolers. It sounds like Jimmy is on schedule and is enjoying being just "one of the guys" for now.

Things have been kinda heavy around here lately so it's time to have some fun. I thought I would post a this list of funny and far out predictions such as:

"Vikings’ defensive end Jared Allen will awake one morning after a lovers’ tryst with his mullet cut off. Subsequently, he will lose all of his freakish athletic ability and speak with a Jersey accent."

Which one is your favorite? What is your crazy / funny prediction for the year -- especially for the Panthers?

Everyone's favorite Rhodes Scholar Terry Bradshaw ripped into Clausen big time. Among other choice comments, Bradshaw said of Clausen,, "I didn't like him in college and I don't like him now". Lots of good motivational fodder in this video for our young QB courtesy of the NFL's worst analyst.

Jason Cole thinks the Panther's D-Line is the worst in the NFL. What more is there to be said?

Kudos to Darrin Gantt for sharing the link.

Matt talks about his new receiving corp, the draft, Cactus Coolers, and many other topics.

Panthers Coach John Fox was unusually candid when discussing Chris Harris' recent trade to the Bears. Fox stated, "We've got a budget, and that had something to do with it."

It looks like a lot easier sledding this year for the Cats but who knows which teams will step up!
