I just cant quite put my finger on it but after seeing Rivera in several interviews over the last few months, he just seems.. different. Its just so hard to explain and I cant pin point it. Here is a good example. For my fellow Godfather fans, its as though the last two seasons Rivera was college boy, naive Michael Corleone. This season he seems to be more Don Michael Corleone. Catch my drift?

Just something about him changed. Not neccesairly in a bad way. He seems more focused and less skittish now and more mature? Like the last two seasons he was a guy you want to hang out with for a beer and shoot the poo, but this season its almost as though he has adopted a "id rather be feared than liked attitude".

Its nothing he has said or done in particular. Go watch some interview vids of him from early last year, then go watch some from the last few weeks and you will just sense the same vibe I am.

He's most likely still riding the high of saving his job late last season when it was almost seemed to be a foregone conclusion that he would be fired.  You might see the old Rivera you are used to this season depending on how things fall.

Maybe that he got 2 top DT and he has 2 years of experience........his players fought to save his job.....maybe he feel that this team is  finally in position to make a good run for the playoffs!! :cool:

 

I think this pictures speak volume for the players and the coaches..... looking forward to a great season

I think comfortable is the word. It seems like having Gettleman in has really taken the pressure off of him. It's almost like, having either a real direction in the team or a real say-so in the team has made him feel more at ease. It really makes you think how much of a burden Hurney was, even other than being a cap idiot.

      Who were we going to trade up with? The Dolphins wanted Proctor, the Rams were vehement on taking Ty Simpson, the Ravens wanted Ioane, and the Bucs werent trading with us except for maybe a kings ransom. Even if we wanted to move, we had no partner. Moot point.

      Devin Lloyd is a stud lb but who is next to him? Prince and Nic should improve. Lee was super value but i am not counting this fourth round chicken yet. I would expect some improvement; hope to eat my words w/ a top ten D.

      I mean I agree about diminished Cam probably still being viable. Even though it gave a preview of how teams would defend the pass against a limited QB. There was an issue with the upcoming contract he was due to get and his expectations vs the new reality of his physical status - that people tend to  overlook when looking back on it  It had an effect on things I believe   But I do have to ask… what about Tepper’s second major move? fuging clueless   I mean I would take even an injured  Cam over Bryce all day long.
