I am wondering if Gettlemen is more involved than we think.  The guy is a football guy, he knows football in and out.  I wonder if he is actually behind the scenes helping with game planning etc.  I wouldn't be surprised if he had a big hand in helping Rivera plan as well as making the guy a better coach.  He said "If we do this right", JR would be holding up the trophy.  I cant help but to think he has laid out some master plan for this season to do just that.

ROFL.  Just refuse to give Rivera his props eh?  GM helping game plan?  Really? 

 

 

Maybe just maybe Rivera is a good coach.

 

Maybe just maybe he is learning to be better just like players get better after playing a few years.

 

Maybe just maybe the team is executing better thus ending up with better results

 

Maybe just maybe we are winning games with a dominant defense because that just so happens to be Rivera's specialty.

Actually, in Gettleman's old role with the Giants, opponent scouting was part of what he did.

 

He was, in fact, part of the group that built the game plan the Giants used to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

 

That experience is helpful for a GM.

um no, I have gave Rivera is props in many threads, read the rest of the forum before making dumb comments. kthx.

 

So I should read the all of your forum post to get context for your original post?   Ahhh makes about as much sense as the OP.

 

You basically stated that Rivera has improved because we are winning and maybe it's because the GM helped him?  Is there any other coach someone would even insinuate something like that?  GM helping with week to week game planning?  That's just disrespectful.

I think GM is just better at picking up FA's and drafting players that fit our team. And in turn I think that's helped Rivera. He is what is new to the team as well as Shula moving to OC. But, all these new guys have made a big impact maybe even larger then our prior guys have.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
