Rivera: " couldn't find a left tackle to fit what we do"?

[Jmac]

Per J.Person. Rivera claims they looked outside the organization for a left tackle but couldn't find one that fits what they do. I have no idea what that means or what exactly they do, besides getting the QB smashed. Don't tell me there isn't one guy out there that "can't do what they do". Just a ludicrous statement. Also said that Amini would have played left tackle if healthy.....oh boy.

"couldn't find a Tackle that was good enough to play that wouldn't hurt the cap next season"

[Qu1million]

Stupid statement because I don't think shula knows what it is exactly they are trying do but it is hard to find a good tackle period

[Mol3m4n]

In other words, Rivera couldn't find a tackle that was bad enough to sign.

Not only that but there just aren't teams lining up to trade their starting tackles, and there aren't any teams with backups that should be starters. Tackles aren't a dime a dozen in this league. We really had no options other than the guys we have.

It's pretty much just made up excuses at this point... I mean what else can he say?

There isn't a guy out there we could've easily gotten, and have it being worth it, that's any better than Bell.

Running backs are a dime a dozen, and that's where our money is tied up.

Oh the irony.

Pray it doesn't get ugly tomorrow night.

Such a fuging shame. 

[top dawg]

It's G-man's responsibility to grade and sign talent.  

 

The Rivera bashing is getting nauseating.

[top dawg]

In other words: Cam is fuged!

[CRA]

He is just doing coach speak. Trying to defend his FO.

In reality, Rivera knows he was dealt slop. Coach can't say that

Hate is always misdirected. Cam, Rivera and Shula get hate that should be directed at FO.

It's bad now but in a year-two we will be dropping all that and can really start to build.
