Gettis/LaFell Under Pressure

Rivera sending a message to the young receivers.

From Steve Reed @ Carolina Growl

Coach Ron Rivera on new WR Legedu Naanee: "One of the biggest things is we've had nobody step up other than Steve (Smith). We need to find guys that are going to step up and challenge for the (No. 2 receiver) position. This is a chance to get a guy who knows the system, understands the system and can show the young guys what it takes to be a pro."

Did he mean that nobody stepped up last season, or that nobody is stepping up in practice right now?

The way Reed and Person are reporting it, Rivera is not comfortable with the position this year, and he felt he needed to send a message.

I find it notable that Rivera spoke about it openly. This would not have happened under Fox.

It does concern me that he felt it was a big enough issue that he publicly called them out.

I love it. And for them to bring him in then they must feel this guy can be a legit #2 threat and still has some more upside in him.

and I thought armanti was pimping it up out there... huh...

He might be pimping it out but still not WR #2 worthy

It's kinda like a person weighing 700 pounds losing 100 pounds. Wow, you lost a 100 pounds that's great...you're still a fat fug though

Except AE is probably around 180-190 lbs and runs a 4.4 - 40 with a sh1t ton of athletic talent.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
