First Impression of Coaching Staff

Broderick Bunkley, Kevin Vickerson, Ty Warren in the middle (proven players). Vet Corners Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman in the secondary.

Compare that to what we have in those spots.

No arguments here, I just worry that Rivera, may want to prove that he can improve the defense by developing the rookies instead of going out and getting Ron Edwards replacement.

They're also in the middle of a total scheme change going from a 3-4 to a 4-3.

However, Fox has 9 years as a HC.

True, but it would seem like vets would catch on faster, especially the ones on the team that have been in a 4-3 before.

I still think they add a vet, I don't think they have a choice. But yea, theres that.

- I was a proponent of Rivera & still have high hopes, but the product on the field has caused more concern than confidence at this point. After re-watching the Cincinnati game (who other teams have embarrassed...we made them look world-class * Dalton look unstoppable) I am interested to hear the positive objective postives of Rivera & the coaching staff. Good question/thread!

I sure hope my concerns are not justified during the regular season; we cannot have another season of excuses. Go Panthers!

No need to be discouraged yet... Every team with a new coaching staff has looked to terrible this preseason. Not just our team. This is what makes the NFL so different from other sports. Practice and preparation have a way better impact on a team in this sports vs. something like basketball or baseball. We just need to give it time. If the offense is as complex as ive heard it is then we just need to let it develop. But the defense definitely needs to play better and get back to the basics of football. I see too many DLs playing at an elevated pad level and getting pushed off the ball. Its so simple of a problem to fix.

    • I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move 
    • While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen. 
    • Taylor Moton also slipped and missed his block entirely  The oline”s performance was less than stellar in the 4th qtr
