Mr. Scot

Rivera did have strengths. Defensive strategy was one of them. Carroll might be a better option, definitely a more likely one given Canales history.

You don't normally see Dowdle avoid contact. That's the injury effect.

There are some things you just can't defend. Catches like that are one of them.

There's history there too. One Condition: I'd insist he have zero input on goal line situations

Not necessarily looking to fire him. I want a better mentor. Don't necessarily care what their defined role is. Hell, I'd take Rivera as a DC

Look back at what I said I want him to help with.

They're both good. Double Trouble

I get that, but I don't like the 'bend don't break ' defensive approach.

Every time we do have good players, there's always somebody pushing to trade them.

Evero

That sh-t never works

That was a sh-tty flag

Somebody needs to go back and bump the "trade Chubba" thread.

Damn... Chubba

Byron Young

Yeah, Hubbard is finally healthy again. Trading him was never a good idea

Bryce can play in the NFL. He's too inconsistent to be a starter, but he's at least capable. For the record though, I'd dump both. Choosing Bryce is purely hypothetical.

I'd honestly prefer a defensive coach. I threw out the name of Ron Rivera ... Mind you, if he does give up playcalling (and I'm in favor of it) I want to see Idzik get a chance.

Defensive scheme...

Was Stafford...held for Ransom?

Bend don't break...

Coker should be our #2 receiver.

That is his job. I don't like how he does it. Also think he had some chicanery going on while Reich was here.

I've said several times that Dave Canales needs someone to help him develop in the aspects of head coaching where he's weak. Specifically, offseason preparation, killer instinct, defensive management to name a few (there are likely more). Ideally, that would come in the persona of a former NFL head coach who's had some success and longevity in the position and understands things like I've mentioned, among others. I'd like to hear some name suggestions, but just for the sheer hell of it, im gonna throw out a crazy ass idea of my own to start. What about Ron Rivera?

It's one of the reasons I think we need a more successful former head coach on staff, someone that can help him develop in some of the areas where he's weak.
