"Defense should be good enough"?

[Jmac]

I said before and I am sticking to it.As soon as the young guys get healthy they should be on the field...period.

[Tub of Goo]

Guys, Ron said they'd fix it, it's not like they've been embarrassed more than this one game! Just trust him!

[Brooklyn Bully]

Hey, at least we don't have to play Denver this season. Imagine the carnage. Trying to cover Thomas, Thomas, Sanders, Welker, Ball, and Tamme?

 

Yipes.

With absolutely no evidence to the contrary, there's only one way I can ever picture Rivera.... stoic Ron.

You think Dean Smith, Bobby Cox, and Phil Jackson never got on their players either?

I will say that screaming and yelling after an ass whipping can have opposite of desired effect. You can't bury a team's confidence, but u can't coddle them either. It is delicate balance

I have always believed that hardest part of coaching is psychology, not Xs and Os.

I think Ron thinks that they have the talent but aren't executing.

Yeah, but Ron Ron hasn't demonstrated himself good at either.

 

The Panthers, have usually started the season slow.

They're bad on nationally telecast games, mostly.

He places certain players in his dog house, while allowing worse players he likes to continue playing.

Shows no faith in his QB or offense, when they've been the best unit of the team this year, and really the majority of his tenure.

Rivera, usually doesn't defend his players under National criticism  (Cam, Hardy)

 

That's the motivational part. And I'm sure I missed a few.

 

Now we know, on the X's and O'x, game management part; Rivera really lacks. We have a litany of things we can list regarding that component of his NFL coaching (clock management, usage of TO's; challenges; when to be aggressive; playing for FG's instead of TD's, etc.).

We'd lose 84-17

I honestly feel like there were some plays where CJ gave up even before getting to the QB. Maybe i saw wrong.

[WOW!!]

The defensive thing about Rivera needs to be questioned. If he keeps putting Godfrey and Harper out there. At least don't put them on the field together.

[KillerKat]

The defense is playing like a bunch of pussies just like their head coach.

LOL

[Mojo]

If those were his exact words that just confirms his lameness.

[countryboi]

what he is saying is that personal wise this defense should be good enough....but they are not they are god awful and its so manything thing its hard to pick one.

[My Goodness My Guinness]

Anyone have any idea how we contained the lions to 7 points?
