WR coach I can see, but LB coach? I would have to assume that Rivera already has other specific people in mind.

Same here. I don't get why Belin got fired unless some bigger name with more experience would take over at that position

So in addition to questioning Rivera's coaching acumen, I suppose we might want to question how good a job he did selecting staff members.

What do we have so far? Let's see...special teams coordinator, original DB's coach, RB's coach, LB's coach, and WR's coach. That's a bunch of misses.

I bet you anything that Rivera's talk with Richardson went as follows:

JR: "So....I like you, Ron. The players love you and you have given us improvement since we brought you in, despite a terrible start this season."

RR: "Thank you, sir. I apologize for the slow start, but as I have said....it's a process."

JR: "So it is...." *grabs golf club and walks into open spot in office* "you know...I used to be able to drive a golf ball 280 yards with a 3 wood..."

RR: "That's impressive, sir..."

JR: "I haven't had a swing that good in a while. Always was more of a baseball man myself...now that...that is something I can do. The bigger the ball, the easier it is to hit.....so, this is what is going to happen, Ron."

RR: "Sir, with all du--"

JR: "You are going to go back to your office. You are going to sit down with your coordinators, who are not going to be fired, and you are going to fire at least 3 assistant coaches. I want some turn around around here and I want you to deliver the news, because I want you to look at your future. We will bring in new guys at those spots....and if next season you decide your...what did you say..."process"?

RR: "Yes, sir.."

JR: "If your process doesn't pan out...you'll be out the door as well. But not before I work on my swing....are we clear on that?"

RR: "...yes, sir. I will not fail you again."

JR: "I know you won't, Ron. I know you won't."

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
