Rivera: "Learned from first Atlanta game to stay aggressive"

 "Cannot expect to win this football game by kicking field goals" Quotes provided per S.Reed  and J.Person.  So Rivera is saying all the right things today at the podium today. He really should have come to this conclusion after previous Atlanta games  (actually we have heard this song before), but better late then never. Here's hoping that he doesn't get sphincter freeze when it comes down to the aggressive attitude.  Hopefully he takes Shula aside and relates to him that the red zone play calling needs to produce. They can beat this team if they stick to their guns and do what they say. Pound the piss out of them with Stewart then slice them up with K.B, Cotch, and Olsen.  Have faith in the offense to get a yard or two when needed and go for it. If your going to talk the talk , you better walk the walk.

Really Ron ... how insightful.  Seems like we heard that before. 

 

Should have said, 'It was asinine to put on the brakes and leave our kicker with a 46 yd field goal attempt.  Especially considering how well we were moving the ball and the time left on the clock.  But hey, I am still learning.  Next time I won't bring a skirt and will let my players finish the game ... without handcuffs and poor game management'

I was doing family Xmas stuff and didn't get to see the game, but I saw that we started kneeling to run the clock down with like 2 minutes left on the 2 yard line instead of scoring. How does this fit in with the 'stay aggressive' philosophy?

Well, you see, it's a process.

at the end of the game??? No point in trying to score when you can go into victory formation.

Got no beef with that. Browns couldn't stop clock and it ended game.

Techically, if you score a quick TD you then give the Browns a chance to still win

Seriously? That's your example of them not staying aggressive? That's just fuging dumb. The Browns were out of time outs. The game was over. Kneel down is the only play in that situation. Why risk a turnover when all you have to do is kneel on the ball and win the game. Goddamn...

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      so.....the entire second round is essentially holding out for guaranteed contracts.  Seems like it is stuck w/ Judkins and Emmanowori being the 3rd and 4th picks of that round and whatever slow trickle down does or doesn't produce from them.

      This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
