Black and Blue Review provides the transcript of today's press conference with Rivera.

 

Some interesting points to note:

 

Jared Allen suffered a pinched nerve at some point and it may have contributed to him looking slow on some plays.

The only real thing that came up and I didn’t catch it until later in the fourth quarter was Jared [Allen] had that pinched nerve. Apparently he did it early on, so they’re getting him checked out right now. That’s the only one that’s of concern. The nice thing is that we have two weeks to get ready.”

 

On Ryan Delaire:

“Our college scouts brought Ryan to [defensive line coach [Eric Washington’s] attention during the draft and looked at a lot of tape during the draft and liked him and we had a good grade on him. We just didn’t have any late picks.

 

On Shaq's play Sunday:

 I thought he did a good job in coverage and dropped with good zone awareness. His breaks on a lot of plays, he’s very physical and that’s been a big plus. One thing is that we’re not afraid to play young guys here, which we’ve done since I’ve been here.

 

On changing the practice routine on the bye week:

We looked at a lot of things that teams throughout the league are trying and we’re going to give guys an extra day off. We’re going to give them Monday off then come back and go Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and do all preparation on those three days. Then Friday will be a recovery day that a lot of people are trying. And not just because of coming off the bye, as we look forward, it’s something we may do on a permanent basis

 

The entire presser is worth a read, so check it out. http://blackandbluereview.com/panthers-bucs-week-4-ron-rivera-press-conference/

A couple of things have really impressed me about Allen:

1) He didn't make any excuses for less than stellar play, he admitted he would have liked to have had a special game for his 1st with a new squad, but didn't blame injury.  Instead he gave huge props to Delaire and others on the team for their great play.

2) I loved his comment about taking "good care" of Jordan Gross' # 69 until they retire it for him....

He seems like a great team player.  Hopefully too he's still got plenty left and will ball out in future games.

I can speak from experience.....pinched nerves are very painful.  I hope they can treat it and give Allen some relief because the Panthers are going to need him in Seattle, and in a big way.  

they're more weird than painful. I got one in my neck andevery once in a while I'll get. What feels like, a shock going down my arm followed by a numbness. 

Just depends on which nerve is pinched, I guess. Could causes paralysis if it's in a bad spot though, so that has to be taken into consideration. 

Hopefully it's just a stinger and not in his neck.

Wait,  so Jared Allen played through pain with no complaint and is later chastised by fans. 

 

sounds right. 

I created that thread at halftime.

my eyes were right but I'm "glad" to know it was injury related and not because of effort.

hope he's ok and can provide us with some good play.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
