Coaching/QB Observations

As I watched games Sunday, I kept being drawn to watching the HC's. Here is what I saw:

(won't even pretend to know names)

Raiders - Young coach : Attentive to all aspects of the game, carrying a clip board - making notes. Speaking constantly on his headset. Always engaging players - waiving them back from the sideline, motioning for them to hurry up. I saw a QB on the sideline one on one with a receiver going over a route and maybe what the QB was looking for in that route - not just when something good happens (high 5, laughing, etc..) this was right after an INT.

Falcons - same

NYG - veteran coach: ditto on the sideline demeanor. Ditto on the QB / WR interaction

Packers: Saw the HC down on 1 knee in a huddle with his entire offensive line! - going over some photo's and coming up with a solution?

Ravens/49ers - although a bit explosive, both coaches very involved with all aspects of the game.

Seeing a pattern? All I see when I vision the Panthers is a HC fixing someones helmet during a defensive timeout that "we" called. Shouldn't our Defensive minded HC be involved with the discussion of the defense in a critical situation?

I just don't get it.

Not trying to defend Rivera but are you basing this all on short tv shots of Rivera or are you actually at the game?

Why would it matter? The cameras pan on HCs when something big happens like a TD or interception. With other coaches they get emotional and show they are involved be it screaming or smiling. Rivera stands there.

I'm basing it off of tv coverage of the sidelines during crucial or tense periods of the game. Rivera fixing a helmet during a timeout was a steady camera feed for the duration of the time out. The camera crew was zoomed in on him doing it while the commentators talked blah. it was in the last 2 minutes of the SeaHawks game.

I admit I'm not seeing the whole game - but during crucial periods, he looks totally disconnected from the team.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
