Rivera says both kickers - Medlock, Mare - were solid on field goals and PATs, but both need to improve on kickoffs. Says battle is even


Carolina Panthers‏@Panthers

Rivera says younger players on team could have tackled better. He'll watch tape to see how they can improve.

Rivera said Medlocks short kickoff that led to a TD was the biggest disappointment of the night.

Rivera says many players had a chance to show tonight, but didn't. Coach is definitely disappointed in how team performed tonight.

Rivera disappointed with kickoff coverage, but says there is reason for optimism after watching offense, turnovers

Coach should be mad. Players needed to step up and they didn't *kanye shrug*

Newton says coach's message to him after game: "He wasn't happy." Newton says play lacked effort & was lethargic. Says team has to respond.

glad to seem some honesty, he is completely right. It is the first preseason game so I expect a better showing next one.

Im dissapointed how Coach performed tonight.

How was he supposed to perform? im confused..what is the performance you expect in the first preseason game?

[Icege]

They expect Rivera to always win and provide them with some insignificant numerical data to give their meaningless lives some comfort.

1. Cam sucked last preseason. Don't think he brings it until it matters.

2. I think some of these guys were lulled to sleep by all of the hype they're hearing about themselves. Hype doesn't always make you play "harder".

I think it was just a preseason game and everyone's fumbling around trying to figure out what this strange new game called "football" is all about.

Hell, the Broncos smashed the Bears 31-3. . .and that was with Peyton Manning throwing a pick and then sitting down after like four plays. It's all chaos right now.

If we're still play like this by the third preseason game then I'll start getting worried.Otherwise, it's all a crapshoot right now.

Fug you with your reason and logic. No room for that here!

Prophet. Do you have the same sig picture from the front?

With that out of the way, I agree with FP and those of you that are using logic. It's the PRESEAON.

I hope Chico climbs their asses for a day and a half. But it's preseason so 2 full days will not be necessary.

What we should ALL be worried about is the replacement Ref fiasco. THAT is the only thing that I saw that is unacceptable.

On a positive note...when things were going bad, you didn't see any clappy clappy gum chewing coach...sayin "we'll get me next time" mentality......
