Dab Like No One’s Watching

Ron Rivera has, for the past two Carolina Panthers victories and possibly more, told his team in the locker room following the wins to “keep your personality.”

Yes, the one-game-at-a-time mantra has and will always be Rivera’s favorite refrain, but this one is just as important.

What Rivera is telling his players: keep dancing during warmups at practice during the week, keep playing music in the locker room, keep mouthing the lyrics to an Adele hit song for an Instagram video, keep celebrating touchdowns and interceptions and never lose yourself.

“There’s a great saying: Respect your opponent but believe in yourself,” Rivera said Friday after Carolina’s 33-14 dismantling of the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. “If you start worrying too much about that side of things and doing things completely the right way, I think you lose that little edge. And I think that’s something that’s been good for us is keeping that edge.”

Things like this make he glad we still havr ol' Riverboat coaching the Panthers.

I remember being ready to run Ron out of town after the bad start to the 2013 season. I always thought he was an awesome person, but wasn't sure about his game management decisions and getting the team prepared to play. 

Then Riverboat was born and Rivera has really turned out to be an awesome coach. I'm so glad that our front office had more patience then the average fan.

I'm happy for Ron and glad he proved me wrong.

The two hardest things to get in the NFL.

1. A LEGIT franchise QB (check)

2. A great head coach (check)

I have NEVER seen a coach grow as much as Rivera. Usually coaches are stubborn and stick to their guns no matter what. We are lucky to have him and THANK GOD we let him grow instead of being like these other loser franchises and giving up on him after a few years.

Yes! So many of us wanted him gone, including me.

And though JR let Ronnie Dangle in the wind after the 2012 season, before bringing him back. It was the best decision (or non decision) for the Franchise from that point on, along with the pick up of Dave Gettleman, JR made.

Yes, JR's patience, actually worked in his favor this time with Rivera!

    • Ickey still out? He good?
    • You're acting like Bryce put him out for the game and the week when that play happened at 4:01 in Q2. Renfrow was targeted four more times after that. Plus, a hospital ball is a poorly placed pass that puts the receiver in a dangerous position to take a big hit by being late or inaccurate.  Ball is out an on its way here. The catch is made at the 25yd line on the hash. Renfrow jumps for no reason and is airborne when he's hit. Bryce doesn't drift him over in front of the safety on the throw and as we can see from the capture that he had the right read. Could he have also waited a little longer for XL to pop up over the middle on the in route? You won't hear me disagree with that. Would have also likely netted more YAC than Renfrow would've considering positioning and momentum for both players. I like that option better than the one he took, but you're also not going to see me make 10 different threads about it like we've seen this week. 😮
    • This offense is like watching a slow bleed out when you think a merciful death has finally ended the suffering only to see a pinky flinch or hear a faint gasp of air creep from the lungs and through the dried out walls of a flaked throat, making you feel a sliver of hope and obligation to stay with the moribund patient on life support until it passes beyond the void and the undertaker begins his duties--usually around week 6.
