Rivera said Olsen helping out on blocking along o line has hurt him getting into routes.

Rivera believes WR corps has been "more than adequate," but adds there have been "inopportune drops."

 

Define adequate.

[AceBoogie]

Olsen is basically a sixth lineman now.

Sounds like a recap of what we've all been saying around here.

Rivera says he's heard Hardy's trial has been pushed back and it hasn't. Going to sit tight until he hears definitive. #Panthers

Joe Person ‏@josephperson · 7m7 minutes ago

Rivera says #Panthers still haven't heard officially whether Greg Hardy's trial has been postponed.

David Newton ‏@DNewtonespn · 7m7 minutes ago

Rivera admits it's been "tough'' without Greg Hardy. #Panthers

David Newton ‏@DNewtonespn · 5m5 minutes ago

If Hardy's trial is postponed Rivera says DE should be allowed back. "But again I don't set policy.'' #Panthers

David Newton ‏@DNewtonespn · 5m5 minutes ago

Rivera says Hardly basically has sat out six games, so that figures into his reasoning he should be allowed back. #Panthers

Rivera admits it's been hard to adjust w/out Greg Hardy.Defense built around front 4 getting rush out of base. Hasn't happened consistently.

Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview · 4m4 minutes ago

Rivera won’t flat out say it, but he implies he thinks Hardy should be reinstated cause it’s been 6 games. Doesn’t work that way, of course.

Rivera: "It's been a long nine weeks, to be honest."

Joe Person ‏@josephperson · 5m5 minutes ago

Rivera: "We're by no means out of the race. ... We're still in a good situation."

Rivera said #Panthers are in a "figure-it-out'' mode.

David Newton @DNewtonespn

Rivera believes injured offensive linemen all should be back. Rookie guard Trai Turner is one he worries about the most.

 

At least he's not most concerned about Byron Bell.

 

[SgtJoo]

Rivera is hopeful that virtually all injured guys will be healthy enough when team starts back up next week. Trai Turner could be exception.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

That fact that our OL is playing the "best" they can is troubling.

I'm actually a Rivera fan but he's terrible at instilling confidence in the team.

He basically just told Foucalt, Bell, Chandler, etc... that they are fringe roster players who shouldn't be starting.... And thought that may be true, it's not giving the players the confidence that they need to prove that they can be better.

“Those guys up front are doing the best they can.” - Rivera

I'm no longer interested in guys 'doing the best they can'.

Rivera continues to say Cam has been pressing. Forcing throws downfield when he should be taking check-downs.

WHAT FUGGING CHECK-DOWNS, RON???!?!?!?

[Ruff]

I'm no longer interested in guys 'doing the best they can'.

Same. Time to get real talent as opposed to guys that start because they're left handed and got rowdy in training camp.
