Rivera's Monday Presser


CarolinaSunday

Recommended Posts

Didn't see a thread. Based on what I'm seeing on Twitter:

- Ron hasn't talked to the athletic training staff to get an update on Williams or Olsen so no news yet.

- DJ Moore is being brought along slowly because of our plethora of receivers

- Rivera liked how Jackson tackled

- Thomas played well and needs to develop rapport and trust with Cam quickly

- We played like it was our first game.

I call BS.

It does seem odd. He may have purposefully avoided talking to them in order so that he couldn't answer the injury questions at the Presser.  I don't know why he would do that, but it seems really weird that he wouldn't have inquired about two of our most important players' injuries this morning.

We always get injury updates on Wed, its happened that way for 10,000 years. 

And it's deliberate...

For years, head coach Ron Rivera has avoided talking to head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion before noon on Mondays. That's because Rivera doesn't want to then go into detail on injuries during his weekly 12:30 press conference.

From the same source...

Rivera also wouldn't go into detail about what forced strong safety Da'Norris Searcy out of the game in the second half, but he did explain why it was Colin Jones and not third-round pick Rashaan Gaulden who replaced Searcy.

I confess I hadn't actually noticed that this happened.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
