Players’ Social Media Reactions

players probably getting all this at the same time we are...

Not a shock we haven’t heard much.  They probably had no clue.  Ron wasn’t able to say adios. Etc. 

 

Agreed, I’m thinking because of the lack of tweets/social media reactions that they’re all in shock and coming to terms with this just as we all are. 
 

only they ALL had very personal relationships with him, so I’d imagine it’s hitting a little closer to home for the guys in the locker room and throughout the entire building.

 

It will be very interesting who talk ish now that he’s gone and who’s got his back besides the regular “it’s a business” responses once they’re back to work and the media comes in.

Regardless who the coach is, was or will be, every day on the active roster of an NFL franchise is a job interview. Whether at practice, on an off day with the family or on Sundays, you're always playing for your next paycheck and you're always playing to add footage to the film reel. Players don't have time to lament and wonder and tweet and carry on.

I got a new boss 2 notches above me on the ladder today. Didn't change a fugging thing about my job nor did I do anything differently because of the announcement.

Carry on smartly, lads.

I imagine this will sting for most of the players. For the weaknesses and shortcomings Rivera had, perhaps his greatest strength was being a leader of men. 

I genuinely believed the players played for him. His biggest strength as a HC was building relationships with his players. While letting him go is the right thing to do for the future, I doubt you’ll hear anyone saying much bad about Ron. On a personal level, I really think the plays loved the guy.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.

    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
