Ron Rivera Interview on Fox Got Game


Recommended Posts

Good interview. I dug the part at the beginning where he laid out all the issues we still need to resolve.

We've got to find a couple players at a couple positions, important positions. We've got to find our third wide receiver. We've got to make sure we've got the backup tight end position taken care of. We've got to make sure of the development of Amini Silatolu at our left guard position. We've got to make sure we feel good about our third corner. We've got to feel good about our safeties. And the health of our two linebackers, Jon Beason and Thomas Davis. We've got to make sure those things have all come together for us to be a good football team.

Classic. Sounds like it could have been a recap of the best threads of the Huddle over the last couple months.

Just re watched. He really had a ton to say about the depth chart.

"We've got to find a couple of players at a couple of positions and important positions"

-3rd wide reciever

-Backup Tight End

-Develop Amini Silatolu

-3rd Corner

-Safeties

-Health of 2 LBs (Davis and Beason)

Interesting he makes it sound like #2cb and #2 WR are settled.

I like how open RR is about the team, Fox was so boring and never really opened up to the media. But RR really gets decently in-depth, and as we seen from the reporter, they are happen to be able to hear something out of Carolina other than "it is what it is"...

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
