How about figuring out why, when he actually is a deep threat, the team has tried forcing Jason Avant and Jerricho Cotchery into that role instead of using a guy who was actually suited for it?

Philly came in and showed in week two what he was capable of. How did the coaches respond? By sitting him back down and throwing deep balls to possession and red zone receivers.

My word, the coaching on this team is awful.

It wouldnt be so bad if any of them had the balls to man up and make changes to look for a spark but nah lets jus ride with the same team that has lost every game since the beginning of october. Fuggin idiots man. And its really pissing me off gman is silent in all this, he is a part of this too so why does his fat ass get to hide and let ron and cam take all the blame when he fielded this piece of poo squad.

That's a horrible gripe. You try catching a 50 years bomb in your hands while falling.

 

I wasn't just talking about that play. He's a chest catcher in general. And youre making that play sound way harder than it actually was. A good corner would have turned around and made a play on the ball and if that was the case philly wouldnt have been able to just let it drop in his chest. The only reason Philly fell to the ground was so he could use his body to catch it. In other situations where the DB is playing the ball he will have to stay on his feet and go up and get the ball

 

All I'm saying is it's a bad habit to catch it with your chest and he needs to learn to go up and get it with two hands when its appropriate. On that 50 yard bomb the DB left his back to philly and didn't make a play on the ball so it was fine letting the ball fall into his chest but just in general he needs to learn to catch with his hands

I'm sure he would if it was appropriate, but I have no qualm with chest catching as long as it is caught.

Right now it looks like this bunch would rather mush on than admit to a mistake.

 

They want us to believe it's the players' at fault.  Not the coaches.

Well part of the problems are the players, avant being one of them. He is washed up and was never great to begin with as is cotchery, and dont get me started this oline. But leadership from the coaching staff is severly lacking.

How many targets should an undrafted rookie get in the first couple of weeks?  Then he missed 3-4 games with a concussion. I. Don't understand the coaching criticism on this one. When you complain about everything, you look like a whiner and lose credibility. 

 

How many reps should an undrafted rookie lineman get?

Why were we playing avant and catch over brown? Simple, Rivera seems to believe in the fact you play who you pay, and more money is being spent on avant than philly. Show me an instance on the roster where a backup is making more than a starter who isn't on a rookie contract. That's why it took forever for them to cut Godfrey, why Cason was given a pass while white got benched, why Harper continues blocking cole and boston, and why brown was buried on the depth chart with avant and cotchery shitting the bed. This infuriates me, in fact, this was why I became a panthers fan when the saints did the same fuging thing to jake with Aaron brooks stinking up the starting qb spot. Our depth chart is based on bank account and not talent.

 

 

This needs more attention.

 

 

I don't think it's that extraordinary for aint's fans to convert.

Shout out to Philly Brown. I said weeks ago he should be starting. WEEKS ago. This coaching staff get 0 credit if they decide to all of a sudden play him cause he caught 1 TD. True definition of reactive instead of proactive = We dont know wtf to do 

 

You might be giving the coach's too much credit by calling them reactive.  I've yet to see them react to getting their teeth kicked in the last 5 weeks.

it was a joke.

but I don't think it's the $$, Rivera and company just like starting veteran,older players. Older players make more jack.

And that complaint has been aired many times before, not really anything new.

I caught it, but it's not the first round picks, it's the later round picks that are showing up veterans.

Bene and Godfrey ate prime examples early in the year.
