Rivera Remarks 12-26-11

[Davidson Deac II]

I always thought several meant more than two.....but ok.

It does mean more than two.

I also believe we should go heavy on defense. Of course, if we have a shot to pick up a good offensive player who is not a qb or a running back, it would be ok to do that as well.

easy to drink when you look at the talent level of both.

otah is going to be cheap and it would be dumb to outright cut him without looking at him vs. competition next year. at the very least he would be a solid backup.

as far as TD is concerned...wait and see. he used a different surgeon so they are hoping for better results this time. the team likes him a lot (coaches and players) and he's great as a leader on and off the field. i have little doubt that he would restructure to make it easier to keep him.

if both are healthy next year there is no reason to doubt that they would at least be given the chance to play.

there are a lot of talented players out there who arent injury prone like these two - its time to stop hoping and move on before next season starts and we're left picking up a couple of scrubs to replace them a few weeks into the season

I see us taking the best defensive player available in the first (regardless of position) and taking a top tier offensive guard in the second.

^^ this. there is no risk in bringing davis and otah back. we have acceptable (no, not good) players to plug into their positions with applewhite/conner and bell.

*Insert my NJP inside info post.

Thomas Davis is doing well. The previous ACL surgeries were performed by Panther Doctors. This current one has been done by Mr. Tommie Jone himself Dr. Andrews. Davis who I would say is an expert on ACL surgeries says that his knee feels completely different than before. Much stronger and much father ahead.

So you mean those of us that have questioned the abilities of the team training staff and doctors because of the constant injuries on this team were actually on to something??

Dr Tommie Jone - after all he did for Jake I now feel much better about TD coming back in style:jc:
