Rivera wanted to create the best environment to assimilate Newton quickly. He consulted Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith about the handling of Matt Ryan, Rex Ryan about Sanchez, and also Steve Spagnuolo, who was a Rivera staffmate in Philadelphia when Donovan McNabb was a rookie, and who coached Sam Bradford a decade later. The ex-St. Louis Rams coach, now in New Orleans, emphasized getting everything right around the young quarterback.

I thought this was interesting, that RR reached out to Mike Smith, Rex Ryan and even Steve Spagnuolo,

mainly Mike Smith, cuz he is a division foe...

Good read.

I would like to reiterate this:

Carroll kept coming back to ask just how the Panthers pulled it off. Ron Rivera addressed this with NFL.com in November, when the Carolina coach explained the divide between perception and reality on Newton. And now, Rivera reiterates that the Auburn offense Newton ran wasn't as simplistic as others thought. The real key was taking the training wheels off for a quarterback who was accustomed to constantly looking over to the sideline for calls.

Just pointing that out because this issue came up in another thread.

      Smitty on TMac

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.
