New interview video with Rivera posted at panthers.com

ANALYSIS/SYNOPSIS:

- believes that his fresh ideas and connection with Jerry Richardson helped get him the job.

- loves getting the job because it's a young team and a great community

- very big on hard work, discipline, structure and work ethic

- repeated that he wants the defense to be aggressive, attacking and versatile

- likes DeAngelo Williams and looks forward to working with him

- says the offensive line is the key to everything in the run or the pass game

- emphasizes how special teams can get you "hidden yardage"

- happy to get Brian Murphy; said one of the connections is that Murphy was on Norv Turner's "short list" for ST coach (it was known some time ago that Steve Crosby would be out)

- stated that Rich Bisaccia, the former Bucs ST guy who is now with the Chargers, was the other guy on the Panthers short list as well (good choice)

- taking longer than he wanted to get his staff in place

- eager to get to work with the players

- sounds like his wife and family will still be on the West Coast for a while; he's obviously anxious to get them moved

Going a little deeper, one of the biggest things I liked in this clip is that he discussed the notion of whether you run to set up the pass or pass to set up the run. In Rivera's mind, that's not a valid debate. You have to be able to do both effectively or your offense just isn't going to work.

All in all, more to be happy about :)

can't wait to start seeing results of Rivera at the helm. gotta say I feel really good about him to this point.

there is always the question "what is he actually going to do for our team".. but I can't point to any other coach and tell anyone that I feel as confident about them as I do about Ron Rivera..

yes, he has to prove he is legit... and in 2-3 years, perhaps this is a huge mistake, but damn, right now, that doesn't seem possible...

there are certain things I am looking for in the next coaching staff, and he has nailed every aspect...

except of course, he's most likely a racist and doesn't want to see a black QB under center....

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
