Body Language

[Professor Queso]

First and foremost let me start off by saying naturally I am a very observant person. During the game last night, and over the past few weeks watching this team essentially deteriorate week after week I have noticed a common trait, the body language of the coaches and players. It is believed that body language is more of a accurate indicator of attitude and current feeling than verbal communication, scientifically proven not my opinion.

 

The coaching staff, in particular Ron Rivera carries no enthusiasm on the sideline. He stands there with his arms folded, scolding at the field and essentially only showing emotion, which is 99% of the time anger, towards the players and officials. Who want's to play for a guy like that? Don't get me wrong I believe there is a certain level of sternness a NFL head coach must showcase but the guy is a brick wall. I noticed every time the Saints made a big play Sean Payton would get pumped on the sideline, with the rest of his coaching staff and then individually show his enthusiasm and appreciation to the player who made the big play once they got back to the sideline, even if he had to walk to the bench to do so. I have never seen Ron Rivera do something like that.

 

Mike Shula's body language essentially epitomizes his play calling, he is so laid back and noticeably conservative,

I think we need a OC who will light a fire under the offenses ass when they are playing terrible, he ain't that guy. The one positive showcase of emotion I have seen the past few weeks is 3 weeks ago at Green Bay when Sean McDermott was absolutely ripping the entire defense on the sideline, he literally had the entire unit huddled up and was in the center using a old marketing strategy called Build-Break-Build towards his unit. The defense has noticeably played better the past 2 weeks as a result. 

 

Simultaneously the players have terrible body language because they have coaches, outside of McDermott, who refuses to fire them up. In the future we should consider bringing in a few coaches who are not conservative with they're emotion to an extent. Not somebody like Ron Rivera who wait's until after the game in his press conferences to rip his players, that is not the way to build confidence and trust from your players. 

 

This was my 1st thread so please excuse the extensiveness, cant wait to read the feed back from my fellow Panther Nation brethren. Hang in there fella's and as always.. #KeepPounding

Hard to be happy when your getting your ass kicked.

Olson mic up showed us that. Both Stewart and Dwill could of cared less. Stewart looked like he wanted to be back on his exercise bike.

We shouldn't have let Hue Jackson walk out the door without a fugging contract

At the time I wondered about it, but I think Rivera was just looking for a yes man who wouldn't challenge him for his job if things got ugly.

 

Obviously Shula fits that bill.

 

[top dawg]

It's the body language of confusion and disbelief.  I believe that discouragement has settled upon the team like a black cloud.

That's how I fell to. Whatever your opinion of Chud it always seemed like the offense was his.

At least Stewart was running his ass off.  I don't doubt that D-Will was trying his hardest too, but things just weren't working for him other than that one screen play.  We've rehashed about a million times how these guys aren't worth their contracts, but one thing I've never doubted is their heart.

I think Rivera lost this team in Green Bay.

I honestly think they are still trying especially the Oline.  But at the end of the day the guys playing last night are backups to starters that are barely backup worthy linemen in the NFL.

 

Maybe no one is saying it but everyone knows it.  Cam knows it, Luke knows it TD knows, Rivera knows it and I think deep down inside Gettleman knows it as well.  This football team is not whole.  Wasnt at the beginning of the season and will not be all year.

I think Rivera lost this team in Green Bay. 

i think the team was lost when our weak organization fell to the pressure of outside media and goodell back in week 2.

Touche man, this entire year has been a fuggin dumpster fire. 

[beastson]

The constant blowouts will do that to a club. And when they put so much energy to win they don't. (Tie with Cin & loss to Sea)

[Evodion]

Stewart was running hard, and the coaches kept taking him out of the game to flip flop backs. Should have been riding stewart hard last night. I can see why he isn't happy.
