Rhule v Rivera


RevJ

Recommended Posts

After a short sample it feels like there are some key differences. I admire both coaches, so not trying to slight either (Rivera's last couple of years definitely were not same as his early years)

1) Seems like Rhule and staff make decent adjustments at the half to come back/stay in game - seemed like Rivera and staff got out to better starts but poor at adjustments and were always trying to hang on and not lose .

2) Rhule definitely seems to understand how game is changing and will be at the cutting edge. Rivera seemed to emphasized fundamentals not as much missed tackles/blocks.

3) Rhule seems more ready offensively, it's good to not see timeouts over and over due to not getting play off - Rivera's defense seemed more likely to cause the other team unrest and shifting plans.

It will be interesting if we keep losing to see if Rhule can keep the guys playing like Rivera did - at least in his first several years.

I am very glad Rivera is gone. He made the same mistakes over and over and two seasons in a row his teams collapsed late in the season. I mostly hated his stubbornness and inability to make in game adjustments.

I like Rhule so far. I might grow to hate him in a few years if this team still sucks after he has time to build the team (very possible).

Cam might have been able to pull these games out but I think the calls would have been worse under Ron.

That's kind of the point. A lot of fans were waiting on this team to finally get a more offensive/aggressive coach. And then they released Cam before he could play one game with Rhule. 

This team wouldn't be that far away right now with a healthy Cam - LBs and offensive line.

The fake punt call from inside the 40 is without a doubt the most predictable call I’ve ever seen. 
 

there was no excuse for that. 
 

I’m going to give him a pass this year and most of next due to inheriting this mess and the limitations put on him by Covid.

In hindsight it was the wrong call. I don't think it was a bad call though. 

I love aggressive play calling. Forget that death by a thousand cuts Rivera philosophy. Just shoot me or I'll shoot you. Stop playing games.

    • "Things like this" were never included with cable in the past, because there's never been anything like it.  I can't think of a single league that you could watch every single game from it through your cable, even with an added sports package you'd just get a channel that carries various gamest.  Pretty sure the NFL was the first league to do this with Sunday Ticket, and they've all followed suit since, but even all of those are separate expensive packages just like Sunday Ticket is. And given that the point of Sunday Ticket has always been for out of town fans to be able to watch their team every week, there really isn't any other math to run compared to the cost for an out of town fan to watch the Panthers every Sunday, at least legally. I can understand wishing it was cheaper, of course I do too, but when you really look at it logically, it really isn't a bad price point.
    • I’m not saying spend 20 million of it on a single player or two. I’m saying can we get a little better in some of these other areas instead of wasting time developing people because they are almost free.    Maybe we take a chance at having a $2,000,000 LB in depth instead of a guy on minimum. And same in some of these other spots.    Otherwise it’s going to be like Dalton and the receivers last year where you can’t properly evaluate and develop certain positions because those around them are failing. 
    • People seem to forget a lot about Cam. He had a big arm but was not good at touch passes or leading his receivers. He was one of the worst screen pass throwers I’ve ever seen and never seemed to get the hang of the touch needed. He was notorious for overthrowing receivers. His best year as a deep ball thrower was his rookie year, imo, and then he seemed to get less accurate with it. Overthrew wide open Ted Ginn plenty. This is all pre shoulder issues. Don’t get me wrong, Cam was special and I was one of his biggest defenders, but he left a lot to be desired as a passer. We drafted big receivers so it was harder for him to overthrow them. For years we all lamented how our receivers didn’t have much opportunity for yac because Cam just rifled the passes to wherever the receiver was at the time. He was the antithesis of an anticipation thrower.
