"Defense should be good enough"?

What does this statement by Rivera even mean. Explain it to me because I just don't get it. I would expect "this is unacceptable and this defense is not playing close to expectations" or something to that effect. Well Ron, this defense is not good enough. Hoping for some fire and anger in his post game presser, but not to be. After your defense goes from 2nd to 31st, some emotion would be welcomed.

Should be good enough? With guys like Cason, decould, Harper, and white in the secondary lol. Soft, no intensity, limited skills, and no front 7 pressure to make them look good= mess. And Noam didn't play cause lack of reps.. Could he honestly be any worse than the guys out there.

What it means is that Ron and the rest of the staff are males. Males are stubborn, hard headed, have egos. They thought they had a team at the start of the season and are too stubborn to admit they were wrong. Mario Addison is making plays? Let's use him situationally. Cam and Greg/KB have gone right down the field multiple times this season? Let's keep running it up the gut with garbage RBs and a garbage line. WHY do we do it? Because that's how we said we were going to do it and refuse to admit we suck at planning.

Yeah, that's the jist.

 

Rivera, would rather have the team he thinks he wants. Instead of the team that presents itself on the field.

 

How many times has he trusted and relied on his defense this year, when they're the weak link of the team??

I think Rivera is stuck in 2013 illusion. Thinking he has the same secondary and personal.

It was much easier for Rivera last year, when most of his players were on the field, the ball bounced his way, and a 1-3 start placed his job on the line.

 

Now, when he actually needs to coach again, and he has a multi-year contract, he's back to the same "Clueless Ron act".

 

Oh well!

Ron has to be able to play the strengh of his players and adust. That is what Bellicheat does. Gameplans change and adjust according to what your guys can do. I am starting to believe Ron needs to go but I am willing to see how this season turns out first. There is a lot of football to be played.

Norman is a young guy with potential, at least he can keep up with the young hungry elite talent that are continuing to burn us every week, same thing for Bene and Boston. WTF does Harper, Decoud, and Cason have to really contribute? These guys were benched on their previous teams because they knew they didnt have it anymore. Rivera and his nut hugging of veterans has urked me since Day 1.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm honestly looking beyond DC at this point. He's too green and is making too many simple mistakes. I think he's gone after next year. I think the intention in LV was to use Mayer and Bowers similar to Gronk/Hernandez in NE. That's never really struck me as Carroll's MO though after watching him for years out here in Seattle.  He's talented enough and I think he just got lost behind the phenom that is Bowers because he couldn't develop in Carroll's system. I'm surprised Bowers is used as much as he is, though they really don't have anyone else. TE's don't really exist as focus receivers in Carroll's offense. I live in the PNW so I've been subjected to a lot of Seahawks football.  Coaches other utilize their TEs. We should too. Tremble is OK, but he's always been a project as a receiver. Again, all this is of we could get him at the right price. I wouldn't pay a lot because we need to spend on defense.

      David. Hey, money talks.....it has been acknowledged that Tepper isn't shy on spending. He's had the NFL equivalents of used car salesman after used car salesman line up to grift him of a big chunk. Canales is one of them.  Until that changes, it's gonna be tough to build anything to last.

      Well it's who they tied themselves to for at least another year but i agree. They will be lucky to find a useful contributor but until I see the DC situation change I am presuming it's SSDD. Well it sounds like maybe in 2027.
