No "Victory Monday" for Panthers. "Players are in there working," says Ron Rivera.

 

Rivera said this year's team is younger, so Panthers can't afford to take a day off.

 

It’s not a ‘victory Monday’ for #Panthers today. Usually players can peace out after team meetings after a win, but RR switching it up.

"We've got to find a certain something" with a younger group. Rivera says working on controlling the moment.

 

Rivera: "We control the moment. We are going to work that way."

 

Rivera said #Panthers not looking at the end, but looking at the race.

 

Rivera praising O-line. Same group 2 weeks in a row for first time since October.

 

Rivera called it a "solid performance" over the Saints. Said Cam Newton was "exceptional."

 

Ron Rivera said Amini Silatolu will be out a while longer.

 

Rivera said the O-line will stay the same for Tampa Bay. Said Amini Silatolu had knee scoped.

 

“Amini’s going to be out a while.” Same O-line combo coming up vs Bucs.

Rivera: The number of carries Stewart got is the number we want him to get

 

Rivera still not willing to name Stewart RB starter.

 

Rivera said "we'll see'' when asked if DeAngelo Williams would be the starter if he returns. Also said "we'll see" on return. #Panthers

 

Steve Reed @SteveReedAP

Rivera calls DeAngelo Williams "day by day," wouldn't declare a starter moving forward at RB even after Stewart runs for 155.

When asked why he is hesitant to name Stewart the starter, Rivera said "my preference."

 

Rivera, former player, likely doesn't want to say or do anything that would be viewed as a slight toward franchise's rushing leader.

 

Rivera said winning feels different. Says even the media treats him nicer. Guess we shouldn't ask about punt return coverage. #Panthers

 

Ron Rivera: In life you get a second chance. It's called tomorrow.

 

"In life you get a second chance. It's called 'tomorrow,'" Rivera says in reference to maintaining during losing streak.

 

Coaches film showed 8 dropped passes for Saints, which is pretty incredible.

Rivera says Panthers counted 5 QB hits and 4 pressures for DE Charles Johnson vs. #Saints.

 

Rivera said DE Charles Johnson deserved a couple of sacks. Hit QB five times. Likes the way he's played last four weeks.

 

Rivera high on Charles Johnson's play of late. Was very disruptive in New Orleans despite not officially recording a sack.

I'm hoping the comments by Rivera on the RB situation is just Rivera being coy and not revealing too much to the media.

 

if Williams starts next Sunday, Richardson should wake up, ride his golf cart to the field, grab a mic, b**** slap rivera, and fire him in front of 70,000.

And this is why you suck as a head coach, Ron.

Rivera says he didn't think Cam was taunting when he did his "Superman" celebration next to Cameron Jordan.

 

"It shows what we're capable of," Rivera on dominant victory against talented team. "Now we've just got to believe in it and build off it."

 

Ron Rivera said he didn't believe Cam Newton taunted the Saints to start the scuffle. #Panthers

 

Joe Person @josephperson

Rivera: "You can't win two until you win one. Well, we won the first one. Now we're going to get the second one."

 

Rivera will watch MNF tonight and “cheer for the right team.”

      Is Tepper going to clean the house again after this season?

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      The thing with cleaning house… who the hell wants to actually work for Tepper?! What good coach with options would take that gig? There are literally 31  better teams to work for…. This is the WORST place for a coach to work… and it’s not even close. Auto-firing staff after 1-2 years will only make things worse.  If candidates know they are going to be auto-fired when being dumped in to an impossible situation, then why even apply? Tepp has to show candidates that he’s calmed the f down. The best thing is for him to not make any major franchise decisions for a while.  Just imagine where we would be right now with Wilks, Darnold, Foreman, Luvu, Moore,  the king’s ransom they were offered for Burns and the picks they traded away for Young… tell me with a straight face that blowing all of that up was the right move compared to where we are today. Wilks and Darnold were bridges to a better place.  My point being, EVERY major franchise decision from Tepp has been a disaster. He blows everything up, even if it shows signs of potential. He has refused to hire a ‘my way or no way’ type coach with proven NFL success.  I promise you he doesn’t have a friend in the entire building.  besides changing out Evero who has been given years to make it work, this is the best case scenario for the foreseeable future until the next draft. I don’t think Canales is the right coach for the job, but tying him to Young isn’t fair. He deserves at least another season with his own guy that he chooses.

      Yeah, he did. But what absolutely killed any chance of success is that our QB panicked and sailed the ball through the endzone uncatchable. That's why the focus is on that. Why do we need to do all these mental gymnastics to keep trying to come up with excuses to cover for the worst starting QB in the NFL over the past three years? What else do we kneed to see from him to admit he ain't ir? You don't trade up to #1 overall to draft a QB that needs everything to go perfectly to succeed. You're doing that because you think you're drafting a guy who can carry an offense.

      From Obser Canales 5 takeaways after film review

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      He needed another year as DC to get the team a draft pick. Had they let him walk before this season the Panthers get nothing. The irony is that they will get nothing anyway as no team will hire him as a HC. I'm not sure he could get another DC job at this point.
