Rivera's Remarks: Ailing Cornerback's


Recommended Posts

Mentions that he is kind of concerned about Norman and Hogan because while they are missing time guys like Chris Gamble, Captain Munnerlyn, Darius Butler, and R.J. Stanford are only getting better.

One thing that caught me was that Rivera said something along the line of... Hogan is not used to having to work this hard and being this sore.

I wonder if he questions Brandon Hogan's work ethic?

Maybe he means that Hogan isn't used to having to work this hard and being this sore? Maybe he said this because of Hogan's lack of experience and lack of practice time because of his injuries. Not everything he says is cryptic or a subtle jab at his players. I really doubt he's trying to call Hogan lazy. I think you're used to having to dissect Fox's fox talk and aren't used to people saying what they mean.

Rivera hasn't been here long.....one thing is clear. He seems to separate guys into 2 groups. Football players and guys who act like girls bc they aren't 100%.

No offense intended to the females out there.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
