rivera not concerned about run game

and he makes a good point.

with how easily we move the ball through the air and the chances we have had once down at the goal.....right now it isn't a great concern. If teams play the pass and we still can't run then it will be a problem.

"I don't think anybody in this organization wants us to rush for under 100 and throw for over 400 every week. Especially without points to back it up. We've got to do better on the ground. We've got to take pressure off Cam. We've got to let him hand the ball off 20-25 times a game and get 150 yards and a couple of scores out of that. That's what we're supposed to do. We're not doing that enough and it's hurting us."

um no gross, thats what we use to do. Pass protection means gross has to work harder and longer during a play. Boohoo. stfu and earn your paycheck.

Name the top teams in the NFL last year or projected this year......handing it off 20-25 times just isn't the way to win. Much more difficult to stop the pass than run.

Run game no doubt needs to step up....but I dont' think the above is the plan. Not in today's NFL.

Cam is a rookie....and that explains things coming to a hault more than anything in the redozne. The plays have been there. Just takes a little time....these early stalled drives aren't going to waste. They are what he will build and improve off of.

rivera is just telling the media what he has to......I dont believe for a second he is not worried about running game even though the way Cam has been passing it has to get better

You know for once I don't believe this is the case. No doubt he wants a better run game, but I think what Rivera's seeing is what everyone should see...."I have a team that can put up 500 yards of offense. I should be able to get 3-4 touchdowns a game easily. I like my chances."

    • I knew he was hedging for a raise.  
    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
