"Rivera's Defense"

For the longest time, I supported McD on here because this defense has been borderline great. I think McD is an excellent scheme coach, and covering up deficiencies is one thing he's really good at (look at his Philadelphia days and the dumpster fire he had there).

Yet, there was always the people who said that this is Rivera's defense. Some people even saying that it's "obvious".

Now, our defense is having a breakdown, and everyone calls for mcd's heat. You can't have it both ways. If this is McD's defense, then he has a lot of work to do. Missing Hardy is one thing, but if one player is so relied upon on your team, you're screwed.

But, if this is Rivera's defense, then it's almost time for him to go. Not only is he horrible in challenge calls, he is still reserved and Stoic Ron. And when the one thing he was supposedly doing correctly, fixing the defense, isn't being done well, then he brings nothing.

So which is it, McD or rivera?

The defense is soft. Ron doesn't know poo about offense, we all know that. It's bad enough that he promoted Shula that doesn't know poo either, but we know the offense is going to be what it is. It's the defense thats suppose to give us a chance to win, and they're damn near the reason we're losing. It's on Ron he's not only heavily involved in the defense but he's the damn head coach.

Really it is Rivera's defense and he needs to help McD adjust but honestly they are only delaying the inevitable that is our OC is terrible. How do you take chances on defense when your offense cant even score 21 points in a passing league.

 

 

I hear people say we need to blitz more but how can you blitz if you have to keep the other team to 14 points or less. Both the Pitt game and the Baltimore game were results of poor execution by the offense and leaving the D on the field for two long. The ST screw ups are another beast in themselves.

i am putting this more on the players who are not executing, getting pushed around, missing assignments and playing the wrong gaps.  just like the offense i put on a porous line.  the coaches have not forgotten how to coach, it is more reasonable for players to be in a slump and to have one of the best DE's in the league out doesnt help.  but i get the simpleton approach adopted by many football fans in blaming it all on the coaches.  

 

that said, i do blame Ron for the lack of motivation and urgency our team has been lacking the last two weeks.

I think it's funny that people waste time trying to figure out who's defense, offense or whatever is. We will never know and it doesn't matter. Right now it sucks and we all know everyone wants it to improve

1 sack and no turnovers in two games with the same scheme tells me this is on the players.

      Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

      Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
