Coach Rivera on Double Coverage Podcast

I dont feel like transcribing it, but He talks about Cam having the best first two years of any QB in history. He talks about the play calling of Chud and how it wasn't the best for the team. All in all a good listen.  (translation, he says exactly what the fans have been saying.)a

 

Starts about 18:00 in and lasts a few minutes.

I mean there is no way to skip ahead unless there was an error on my end? All I had was a button for play/pause. But I messed around and eventually it showed. 

 

I just clicked anywhere on the progress bar and it would skip to that point.......

Can someone be a doll and provide a recap for my lazy ass

 

 

 

Q: What's the momentum like? Feeling in OTAs?

 

A: Really upbeat. Trying to continue momentum from last season. Like some of the FAs and draft picks, hope they will step up.

 

Q: Cam is taking a hit from "sophomore slump" talk, what should we expect this season?

 

A: He started slow but other things came into play and he matured in the second part of the season, made adjustments to offense because it wasn't working how we liked it and Cam quietly had the best first two years of any QB ever. Bottom line: Cam improved and will continue to be improved this season. Very comfortable with the players around him, team is comfortable with him.

 

Q: How much of the problem was the lack of a run game?

A: We got ahead of ourselves, did more than we needed to. Run game evolved and clicked at the end of the season, taking pressure off Cam.

 

----Talk about Deacon Jones and bigger players becoming commonplace in the NFL---

 

Q: How are you going to help Smitty?

 

A: We brought in Hixon and Ginn, couple them with developing players like our main #2, LaFell. Solid young players help take pressure off Steve, Olsen threat up the middle in the zone. Getting the run game clicking is important for his success. Take the pressure off each other (good run game takes pressure off Cam, other receivers help Smitty)

 

Q: 7/9 losses last year by one possession and safeties got beat big, what are you going to do on the back end to shore it up?

 

A: One thing we did at the end of the year is moving Charles Godfrey from strong to free, made big impact in Saints game. Strong safety competition is big: Campbell can be the guy, need to see if Mitchell can be the guy. Also addressed D-Line, pass rush will help secondary.

 

Q: 2-0'd Saints last season, how confident against them (with Payton back) this year?

 

A: Feel very good about them this year. Payton back is important but it's about the 11 players on the field. Toughest schedule is a challenge but "they still have to play us".

 

Q: Y'all have had the toughest schedule a lot lately...

 

A: It's a challenge. We build on how we finished, lots of very close games we had the potential to win. We learned from last year, going to use it to our advantage this year.

Love those two bolded answers. Man is this a great time to be a Panther fan or what.

Too many things going right. The future just looks too bright. Something must be amiss.

Oh, and SgtJ00 thanks for the recap.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
