Ron said that Cam has no real limitations on him physically ie his ankle. This is his rehab. He's taking more time going through his progressions and working on his footwork, now that he has been taking it easy on running with his ankle. Rivera impressed with his progression in those areas.

Rivera says Cam is fine, and has no limitations, and is just following his prescheduled plan.

 

Thinks he's becoming a better passer with better footwork so far, because of the previous limitations.

Wants to rush for at least 100 yards a game. Was a big reason for success last year.

Rivera doesn't seem upset about losing the receivers from last year (though he gave both SS and certainly Kelvin Benjamin their props).

 

Appears to have great faith in Benjamin, and very good faith in Cotchery and Avant. Good faith in others. Likes, maybe even loves his TE's it appears as well.

 

Missed if/when he spoke about Benkiwere and the defense

Used the fact that media says team not relevant as a "red badge of courage". It motivates the guys to prove them wrong.

Rivera said, when the Panther went 3-3, he saw no highlights, and realized the team "wasn't relevant". Said they needed a winning record.

 

He also said, if the team doesn't repeat last years success, they will be 'irrelevant' again.

Rivera says: It's not just Cam or Luke. EVERYBODY has to play well and contribute.

 

He  said the goal is not just making the playoffs, but to win the superbowl. That's what you plan for.

 

He said what's the difference between a vision and a dream? 

 

A dreamer hopes/wishes. A visioneer, has a plan.

[Arroz con Panther]

Rivera was impressed with Bell's speech to the team. Likes his leadership, especially with him competing at the LT spot.

CJ ordered an ice cream truck for the guys yesterday as a treat.

I liked the exchange at the end of the interview with Roman Harper.

 

Mac: "How many INT's do you have in your career?

 

Roman: "I don't know (doesn't keep track)"

 

Mac: "How many TD's do you have?"

 

Roman: "One"

 

Mac: " How many WR's have you hit late in he endzone after they scored a TD?"

 

Roman: " One that I got flagged for"

 

Then Mac went on to say that if he wanted to do that to him again when they play the Ravens they would have his back this time. Roman said that Steve would run through the back of the endzone this time, and kind of implied that he tought Steve a lesson that day. Said he and Steve had talked since then and have come to have a mutual respect for one another but the way he said it made me think they are far from friendly to one another.

Smitty probably told him to shove it.
