"Defense should be good enough"?

[Jmac]

What does this statement by Rivera even mean. Explain it to me because I just don't get it. I would expect "this is unacceptable and this defense is not playing close to expectations" or something to that effect. Well Ron, this defense is not good enough. Hoping for some fire and anger in his post game presser, but not to be. After your defense goes from 2nd to 31st, some emotion would be welcomed.

I think that is what he is saying, or at least what he meant

[*FreeFua*]

When did he say this?

[teeray]

Some of you guys would act like the dude from coastal Carolina after every loss

"WE NEED DOGS!!"

Trust me what this guy says behind closed doors is not what he is presenting to media and general public

[Evodion]

Should be good enough? With guys like Cason, decould, Harper, and white in the secondary lol. Soft, no intensity, limited skills, and no front 7 pressure to make them look good= mess. And Noam didn't play cause lack of reps.. Could he honestly be any worse than the guys out there.

What it means is that Ron and the rest of the staff are males. Males are stubborn, hard headed, have egos. They thought they had a team at the start of the season and are too stubborn to admit they were wrong. Mario Addison is making plays? Let's use him situationally. Cam and Greg/KB have gone right down the field multiple times this season? Let's keep running it up the gut with garbage RBs and a garbage line. WHY do we do it? Because that's how we said we were going to do it and refuse to admit we suck at planning.

With absolutely no evidence to the contrary, there's only one way I can ever picture Rivera.... stoic Ron.

Yeah, that's the jist.

 

Rivera, would rather have the team he thinks he wants. Instead of the team that presents itself on the field.

 

How many times has he trusted and relied on his defense this year, when they're the weak link of the team??

I think Rivera is stuck in 2013 illusion. Thinking he has the same secondary and personal.

It was much easier for Rivera last year, when most of his players were on the field, the ball bounced his way, and a 1-3 start placed his job on the line.

 

Now, when he actually needs to coach again, and he has a multi-year contract, he's back to the same "Clueless Ron act".

 

Oh well!

Wth really? Norman didn't play because lack of reps. I didn't know that. I thought it was because the concussion protocol. He is better than Godfrey at nickel with one arm tied behind his back. Godfrey was awful last week.

[doghead28]

Ron has to be able to play the strengh of his players and adust. That is what Bellicheat does. Gameplans change and adjust according to what your guys can do. I am starting to believe Ron needs to go but I am willing to see how this season turns out first. There is a lot of football to be played.

[beastson]

This quote is more concerning than people are noticing

 

Sounds to me like Rivera either played a part with Gettle moves or he's just a puppet and giving Steve comments on him, hmm.... I rather have Harbaugh and Trent bump heads and be winning

[CPF4LIFE]

Norman is a young guy with potential, at least he can keep up with the young hungry elite talent that are continuing to burn us every week, same thing for Bene and Boston. WTF does Harper, Decoud, and Cason have to really contribute? These guys were benched on their previous teams because they knew they didnt have it anymore. Rivera and his nut hugging of veterans has urked me since Day 1.
