Rivera: Chase Blackburn's foot sore, but nothing requiring surgery.

 

HAH! Rivera when asked if he uses his veto powers on offense: "Not a lot. One of the things I try not to do, when Mike is in a rhythm, I just don't talk. I think the most important thing I do is say "Hey guys, this is Riverboat Ron, let's go for it on 4th and 1."

Said he leaves the playcalling in game to Shula when he's in a rhythm.  The only time he interrupts when when he calls and says "This is Riverboat Ron, we need to go for it".

 

But says he's still fighting the nickname (as he smiles).

Rivera, politely, says he disagreed with V Davis fumble call. Ref told him Davis did not make a football move

 

He also said they'll submit that play to the league for review and see what sort of explanation they get. But did give credit to the officials for being very thorough in their sideline conferences.

Rivera: Message now going from being relevant to "very relevant."

 

Says he counted 3 drops in his film review. Joe then leads a question with "Nate (Chandler) seemed to struggle.." and before he even finishes Rivera is shaking his head and says "No.." and came to the defense of #78. Admitted there were things he could do better, though. Hangartner also got in on 7-8 snaps and Rivera said "It's very good to have Jeff back and good to have him on the football field for us."

I think people are scared that "Chico" might be racist. 

 

I love how honest he is and does he look like a leader or what.  He's definitely in control and is the general of this franchise.  He was very even keel and was a wash in confidence.

 

Rivera also seems to really like Nate Chandler.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
