Rivera's Remarks: Beason Back

He seems to have far more faith in our defense than we do. A couple of statement that was telling the first of which he said we are only going to dress 3 DTs Sunday and the 3 we have on the roster were the ones he was going to dress. Also when asked about blitzing and the very vanilla defense we saw in preseason his reaction was classic it was the first time I really saw him unable to maintain the serious straight forward tone. It was a good thing though it let's us know that we will be bringing the pressure. I believe that a DT will be signed next week hopefully T. Harris or G. Warren. It going to be a long season but as long as we are getting better each week we should be happy. As many as said on the huddle we aren't going to the playoffs this year but I feel this coaching staff can once again make us a relavant team making the playoffs year in and year out.

A couple of things stuck out to me:

  • Rivera is confident in where we are as a team. That doesn't mean we won't suck, but he seems very confident in the preparation and the mental attitude of the players and coaches. I didn't sense any anxiety on his part just from the way he spoke and his body language.
  • You can learn more about football listening to Rivera for 10 minutes than you could listening to Fox for a year.

We may (or may not) lose Sunday, but I think we will like what we see on the field at the end of the year.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
