Rivera’s defenses at Carolina were, on average, squarely in the middle of the rankings.

He had a couple of top 5 defenses.

He had a couple of bottom 10.

All the others generally ranged between 12 and 20.

 The defensive genius of MoRon is yet another made-up myth about his time in Carolina.

Washington's defense is pretty bad this year too.  28th in points allowed.

IMO Rivera is still a good defensive mind, but he chooses the WORST coordinators.  Rivera should just take control over defensive play-calling.  The only DC he's ever hired that was good is McDermott.  Wilks was okay, not good but not quite as bad as a few people think.  Del Rio (in Washington) is bad and bland.  And Washington... my goodness.

But Cam needs to be the starter.  And eventually he becomes the full time guy when he gets enough of the system down.

Never looked at from this perspective.  I stand corrected.  It would be a good move to start Cam then sprinkle in PJ.  Thanks for your insight.

Well I'm worried about his shoulder. 

I would rather ease him in and expand his plays keeping his pitch count down.

 

Now that he is here we have a chance I'm thinking about Jan and Feb when we are really going to need him.

So I would love to expand his role maybe all snaps inside the 30 and short yardage. 

 

Besides how much of the playbook can he pick up in 9 days? I don't think putting him in all the way yet is honestly that fair to him.

I semi agree. Easing him in until he learns the playbook and keeping the dual threat until then. At the same time you need to know if his shoulder can last for next yr, but right now they not looking for next yr they want to win now! So I guess they are thinking throw him in. He is a vet and athletic  should be able to adapt. Still may see PJ you never know.

I think this should probably be the plan. Ween pj out of the game. Cam will have had only 10 days to learn a new system and timing with receivers against his former hc who is a great defensive coach and knows him best. I think after the bye cam gets full go against atl. I dunno. See how he does with expanded snaps this upcoming game and the week after against Miami. But cam should be the full time starter after the bye week for sure. We are lucky we’re playing not great teams the next two weeks to ease cam back in.
 

that said the defense is gonna wreck wft offense. They are horrible which should help us out a lot.

yep.  Throw Gilmore on McLauren.   Defense should feast.

gonna be a lot of Washington fans.  Always are for that game.  And there were some pretty good prices for tickets right before we signed Cam.

I dunno man, it looked more like the Bucs beat the Bucs and the WTF's just happened to be on the field while it happened.  I don't think it will be "easy", but our defense is on a different level.

Yeah, let's not give Rivera so much credit.  If he's so great, how come WFT has only 3 wins?  That was just a bad 1Q for Brady.  It happens.

Cam abides.

his defenses are usually great

WFT has given up 246 pts in 9 games.  That's not considered even "usually" great.

His shoulder isn’t gonna get better with reps. It would just get worse. But he’s only got to play half the season. The Broncos were able to do it with Peyton and an elite defense. Let’s see if we can with Cam. 

[gofightwin]

Well we are going to see if he can will us to victory.  9 days to memorize some plays and 4 practices to get timing.  It will literally be like backyard football, players drawing up plays in huddle and telling the QB where they gonna be.  Should be fun!

Florio said Ron has a whole file of schemes for Cam 

He doesn't have one for PJ.

Use them both.

This is dumb. No one has any tape on Cam under this regime. This isn't Cam in  Chud, Shula or Turner offense or Cam in New England. He played different in each scenario. I mean yeah they can attempt to scheme around his supposed tendencies but ultimately this is a brand new animal.

It’s why I think he should get a statue at boa after he retires.

He will.  And no one will ever wear Number 1 in a Panthers uniform ever again.

Montez Sweat out with a fractured jaw, Chase Young out with a torn ACL, McCaffrey back, Cam back, looking to be a GREAT day
