R.R: " no personal changes despite big loss"

If RR really wanted to shake things up and show the team he's ready for this bullshit to end, he'd find some sacrificial lamb on this team (I'm looking at you, DeCoud...) and FIRE THEM. Show the team this crap better end, right now, or heads will roll.

 

Why DeCoud? Harper before him by a long shot.

I think all these posts about Rivera's job are relevant.  He made his living on coaching top defenses, and finally was able to land a job with us as head coach.  So if this is what we are getting with defense, he really does need to go.  Probably won't happen, unless we continue to get blown out on a weekly basis.

Something needs to change.  I am not a football guru, maybe someone on here can correct me if I am wrong; has anyone noticed our DE's all fly up the field on a pass or run.  They do not stay "flat" or on a line when playing the run.  Several times I have seen them run straight up the field and leave a huge lane for the rbs and cut back chances for them because the backside DE is not staying on a line.  Also, during pass situations, same thing happens.  Instead ofcoming at an angle and collapse the pocket, they head up field and the qb can run or has another second to throw.  I have notice CJ do this and he never used to do that.  That's why he was so good because he used fundamentals.  Maybe I am wrong but that's what I see.

 

My point is, that's all on coaching.  If CJ never used to do that, something is up.  Has anyone else noticed this?

What kind of personal changes would he make? Switch to boxers instead of tighty whities on game day?

He might want to consider some personnel changes though.

 

LOL. I saw that title all day long as I waited and perused the Huddle during several appointments and thought to myself, "Why in the hell would Rivera want to make personal changes?"  It finally dawned on me that the OP meant "personnel" changes, which is the only reason I opened the thread.

I have a hard time piling on blame directed to the secondary when there is no consistent pass rush.

 

But there nothing  a pass rush can do if the offense is throwing quick passes for 2 yards and ball carriers taking them for 30 yard runs. Its the back sevens job to make those plays

Yeah CJ and Addison run these huge arcs around the tackles and the QB or running back can just step up in the opening.  Who knew Hardy was so much more fundamentally sound than CJ?

    • I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.
    • And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot
    • I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
