Ooohweemayne Coach wasn't fuging around.  He took about 3 or 4 reporters and mushroom stamped their heads.  Don't have a link, saw it on NFL Network.  When I find a link I'll update OP.

Looks like Rivera has a beef with the organization.  It's been said the decision to deactivate Hardy at the last minute was Richardson's.  Rivera went into this week giving Hardy the majority of the snaps in practice.  For them to make that decision at the last minute could have cost us on defense today.  These guys just went out there and played with heart.

Can we get some details?

 

First question was about Hardy.  Ron said something to the tune of "First of all, we played a helluva game and we need to give credit to the guys who had great performances" and went on to discuss every facet of the game before finally addressing the Hardy issue.  He said he made the decision, and then reporters kept needling the issue and he kept repeating the same response.  After a few rounds of that, he was like "ok look guys, this is a sensitive issue and we're handling it with as much dignity as we can.  I'd appreciate it if you guys did the same."  Much more to it than that, but that's the gist.

Rivera said the decision was his that it was in the best intrests of team.

    • Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between.  So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all.  That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output. 
    • There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.
    • seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
