Rivera says Newton was proactive in seeking out mind coach. Noted it was not done thru team, but a case of Cam seeking to better himself.

Rivera did say rookie CB Josh Norman played soft vs Giants, and S Haruki Nakamura was playing too deep, more like how he aligned w/ Ravens.

Ron Rivera a little chippy when asked about defense. Said he thinks pass rush has been good, thought it doesn't show up in sack totals.

Sounds like the honeymoon period is over between Rivera and the local media. Last year, he was refreshing and engaging with his responses. Almost like he was giving more detail than the question asked for.

Now, it seems win or loss, he's more abrupt and definitely more salty.

I remember when Fox was the same way. First time coaches learn there is no benefit from giving out any info.

How long did you play QB in the NFL for?

I can only assume you took it that I was saying having a "mind coach" or anything like that is a negative or bad thing. It's a great thing if it's needed.

I was commenting on how those that denied there was a need will quickly change their tone about it when they find out Newton himself thought it was worth going that route.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
