Just started...

Talked about key to containing AP is playing disciplined football, what they are working on.

Mac mentioned Gamble's play - Rivera said he is happy with his progress this year and how Ron Meeks has worked with him.

Rivera said he was bummed he couldn't go to the White House with the 85 Bears recently.

Talked about staying close with Singletary and Frazier, but still wants to beat them Sunday.

Likes Cam showing his emotions, wants that to carry over to teammates and coaches.

Jim asked if Ron would send Christmas cards to the former coaching staff for keeping Steve Smith on the shelf for two years. LOL

Asked about the 3-4, Rivera said the plan is NOT to switch to this base defense over the next several years, because we don't have the personnel for it. Instead, they want mixed looks to keep the opponent off balance. Gives McDermott more options to call, to adjust. Wow - adjustments in-game, what the hell are those???

Asked if Butler will play - Ron said Captain will start.

Chris Harris name was mentioned and Rivera started laughing. That says it all. He really likes Chris, gave him his props, said anything was possible, but it didn't sound like anything was happening with this.

To defend AP we need to play disciplined football and use gap football. Work on tackling and force AP to go to the sidelines

Discussed Chris gamble and how he's been more focused then ever. Talked to chris gamble in the preseason and told him that they needed to him to be the number one.

he's disappointed about not being able to go the white house with the other 85 bears

On why he called cam "Mr Moopy head". Cam newton wears his emotions on his sleeve. he loves the fact that cam shows that he cares and expects more from himself every sunday. he's got a drive that other teammates should take note of.

doesn't plan on sending christmas cards to j fox for keeping smitty..lol

He also discussed how smitty has been the absoloute professional and how he loves everything the new coaching staff is doing. That was key to him staying.

Question about the 3-4:

Ron said that were not gonna go to the 3-4 its gonna be a combination of 46 and 4-3 with a bit of 3-4. overall with the versatility that we have on defense we can have multiple looks.

darius butlers status is up in the air sunday because of family issues. captain will start.

he discussed chris harris and his history with him. If the opportunity presents itself we may see chris harris back in charlotte.

Someone who's lived in this area way longer than I have tell me this. Did Fox - or any of the prior coaches for that matter - ever get on local sports radio much?

Pretty sure Fox didn't, or not much anyway. Hurney did a little in the past, during the Fox era. Siefert - never. Can't remember if Capers did.

Its cool that Rivera does that.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
