John Fox in Denver vs. Carolina vs. Ron Rivera

The way Rivera is viewed now is similar to how Fox was viewed on his way out. Offensively challenged, too loyal, conservative former defensive coordinator.

Once in Denver and surrounded by Peyton Manning and some better offensive minds the John Fox in Denver hardly resembles the image he portrayed in Carolina.

Could Carolina upgrade to a cutting edge offensive coordinator and keep Rivera and Cam in place and be successful? I think so.

In my opinion Rivera may have the ability to adapt, but I wouldn't be opposed to going in a different direction.

He adapted for one season, then he went back to who he truly is.  That's not really adapting.

 

That, plus there's been no progress shown toward fixing deficiencies in his coaching skill set.

Even if we had a dynamic OC that had complete control, it wouldn't change the lack of preparation, the lack of conditioning, the lack of urgency and intensity, poor in-game decisions, and overall lackadaisical approach. Ron is a poor man's Norv Turner. Not HC material in the slightest.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
