Rivera says punt blocks on personnel, not coaching

@BlackBlueReview: Ron Rivera, again stressing personnel to blame for punt blocks:

“There was no flaw, it was about execution.”

It's funny at this point.

 

Go Ron!

 

Keep blaming the players!

 

That way, we won't win another damn game this year and will (hopefully) get a Top 5 pick.  We can get the best OT with that pick or Amari Cooper or use it in a trade to get extra picks.

Obvious question:

The Vikings coaches watched film and saw a problem with the Panthers punt protection in one week of study.

HOW THE HELL DID RIVERA NOT SEE SAME PROBLEM ON TAPE WEEKS AGO???

That is why you hire a competent special teams coach.....his job is to study every aspect of his unit.

How many blocked punts have we had this year...other than this game? I can't think of any.

So, why would you not think that what you are doing is working.

The Vikings did something different and we did not react to it. That is PLAYER execution.

Rivera has made enough mistakes this season to warrant his release....but the blocked punts are on the players not doing what they were supposed to do.

don't waste you're time, these idiots want to blame Rivera for everything.

There are actually people still defending Rivera? Geez.

 

Exact same ones who were defending him weeks ago and will still defend Shula. There's only like 3 of them but they all share a personality type, spottable from 100 yards away.

Yep...it is called perspective and intelligence.  Easy to spot.

 

Rivera has done enough to warrant his release (and he should be shown the door)......but, he is NOT solely to blame for every bad play and shitty performance that this team and its players (all of them) are putting on the field.

      I know that. I'm not predicting it. Just putting the information out there so I will have receipts for later on when this dude turns into a stud at this level too.  It's kinda bittersweet, he'd help our offense out a great deal, but I'm wanting a QB next draft, so adding another weapon for Bryce is counterproductive in that regard.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      I'm not sure if NO will be as QB aggressive as some assume.  They may focus on landing a top line prospect and slow rolling the rebuild for next year.  Could see them roll the dice in R3-4 to compete with Rattler, maybe a Howard fit.     I think the QB starved team's just take the gamble the Saints don't want Sanders, and target a mid to late 1st pick for a trade up to land him.  Still don't think Milroe or Shough are going R1.   But I think what may get lost in the trade up talk is about it being QB specific. A top team trying to get over the top could be the juicy trade (or two) that happens in round 1. Something I've flirted with is how aggressive Buffalo could be.  They have the ammunition for a big trade up, and I think Golden would pair super well with Coleman.  They need to cut to the chase and get playmakers there for Allen.  So yeah, love the idea of a BUF/ATL trade where they move up for him.  I'm even thinking about LAR getting aggressive for Warren or Loveland.  Imagine McVay rolling into 2026 with that added piece for a future QB...

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Unfortunately, Ice, there are some blueprints of hybrid LB/edge players who were busts too--Everette Brown is one, but he was forced into a 4-3 DE role here.  I would say that the 3-4 defense has a lot of wiggle room for hybrids at the OLB/Edge position--I am just not seeing Walker as an elite player at any one role.  Coverage?  Rushing the passer from the 9?  And at his size... If we take him, I hope that I am wrong because there are some personalities I really would love to be on this roster.  Jihaad Campell is one.  Bech is another.
