Rivera's weekly Sirius interview


sml1950

Recommended Posts

Highlights:

1. Olsen is tired of hearing that he doesn't block and has improved greatly as evidenced by his block on Will Smith which opened the hole for Cam's TD run. He is coming in at 7:30 and attending a pre-meeting with the OL before his regular TE meeting.

2. Hardy is finally starting to come into his own and has a chance to be very valuable. He has played the 1,3,5,7, and 9 technique in the games and this versability gives us a lot of options

3. Norman has long arms and long legs, but his best attribute is his field of vision. He is already good at press coverage and knocking receivers off their routes. If he keeps improving at the the current rate, he will be very valuable by the end of the year.

4. We ran 5 no huddle inthe the 1st game and 7 last week. We will continue to expand on this because not only do we keep the D with the same personnel but our personnel groups are so versatile that we can go from 12 to 21 to 11 with the same players on the field.

5. LaFell has become a solid #2 receiver and he compared him to malcolm floyd and chris chambers. Getting nene last year built a fire under him and instead of complaining, he went to work and improved so much that we let nene go.

what does rivera mean when he is talking about personnel group diversity- 12 to 21 to 11? haven't heard this before.

12 = 1 back, 2 TE's

21= 2 backs, 1 TE

11= 1 back, 1 TE (send someone out to play WR)

So it really boils down to Tolbert's versatility, he can line up at TE or WR.

Everyone above me is correct.

The first number is always the the number of running backs

The 2nd is number of tight ends

You know there's always going to be 5 lineman and 1 qb.(6 of 11) So to diagnose quickly what else is out there say its a 22 package, thats 4 players so that means 1 spot left for W.R

If its a 11- which we run a lot of thats 3 WR.

Each team has spotter's up in the booth who's job it its to quickly diagnose this and tell their defensive coordinator.

IF your into that kind of thing and want to learn more http://www.amazon.co...l/dp/1600786170

That link is a book and dvd by Pat Kirwan. No matter how much you think you know football, you will learn plenty from it.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
