Coach Rivera goes Bowling


Mr. Scot

Panthers.com : Ron Rivera's 2nd Annual Bowl-a-Palooza

 

Mrs. Coach is in the video too (she always comes off as a really cool lady). 

 

Video is reported by Sammi-Jo Francis who I've seen in a couple of team site videos (she's good).  Pretty good player participation too .  The video had Kuechly, Charles Johnson and Greg Olsen, among others.

 

Based on what I saw of Olsen's bowling technique, i'd say it's a good thing he's a football player :lol:  There's an insane shot by Jason Williams near the end of the clip though.  Rivera seemed to indicate that Williams is the team's best bowler.

 

Fun clip.

After watching that "how the @%$& did he do that" shot he makes at the end of the clip, I'd say he's right.

 

I'm no bowling expert but man... :unsure:

 

 

Nuthin but a lefty putting a little turn on the ball getting the 3-9 sleeper.  Text book shot though.

 

Pretty easy to make a ball hook like that if you have your own ball and it is a finger tip grip.

 

That looked like his own ball. 

 

That looks like something I want to do one year.

lefties almost always have natural curve to their ball, it was good pick up for a spare.  He would make a  good member on a league team.

A couple of things contribute to that.  The left side of the lane is used less and if oiled properly at the beginning of the day will hold up better so it is more consistent and slides better.  Secondly if the balls are stock ones from the bowling alley they are drilled in the middle and not offset or weighted.  To get spin you have to use wrist action. But if the ball is his own and customized it will often be weighted and offset specifically so it will spin naturally.  Some folks even have a different ball if they want to throw flatter and with less spin like when they are making spares.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
