Rivera says Cason and WIlliams cuts were made in part to take a look at a couple more young guys in Miller and Byndom.

 

Rivera says changes on roster were not knee jerk reactions. Comes from evaluations done during bye week in part.

 

Olsen, Lotulelei, Addison, Silatolu and D. Williams did not practice today.

 

Rivera says getting the two punts blocked at Minn. was a "reflection on me first and foremost."

 

Ron Rivera said the team wanted to look at younger players.

 

Rivera, today: “[The punt blocks] are a reflection on me.”

 

Rivera: The bottom line is we don't have the pass rush we had last year...that's a part of it...

 

Bene Benwikere will start for Antoine Case. "Has a good skill set and plays with good vision." He will play outside corner.

 

Rivera on Benwikere: he's ahead of his time...he'll start..

Rivera says secondary issues have gone hand-in-hand w pass-rush problems. Called it "elephant in the room," ie, Greg Hardy.

 

Rivera says rookie Bene Benwikere will start at outside cornerback. He played nickel previously. Rivera believes he can do both well.

 

Rivera says still determining who starts at free safety. Boston and DeCoud competing.

 

Rivera said looking at rotation of guys at FS. Did not say Tre Boston would start, but Boston said he is working a lot with ones. #Panthers

 

Black & Blue Review @BlackBlueReview

When asked about what’s holding Robert Lester back, Rivera included, “Roman Harper’s played very well for us.”

 

Rivera on Saints: forcing Drew to do something different paid dividends for #Saints last week..

 

Greg Olsen has some swelling in his knee. Nothing structural, should play Sunday.

"Roman Harper has played very well for us." -Rivera on safety position.

I bet Ron hates Gettlemen.

 

Imagine....a General Manager that hides all season forcing you to give PC Front Office answers to all this BS.

 

 

 

 

Harper is here for one reason only.....Gettlemen paid him too much, now Gettlemen is making Ron keep him all season b/c it cost to much to cut him.  Then he sends Ron out there to lie about despite everyone knowing the truth.

Rivera says TE Greg Olsen has swelling in his bursa sac near knee. Expected to play Sunday vs. #Saints.

 

#Panthers RB Deangelo Williams still day-to-day with hand. Greg Olsen didn't practice, swelling in knee but Rivera says no structural damage

 

Ron Rivera said Jonathan Stewart is "running as well as I've seen him since I've been here."

 

Rivera said #Panthers have had seven different combinations of offensive linemen this season because of injuries.

 

Rivera on youth in secondary...I like their energy and intensity.

 

Ron Rivera agrees with Harper's young and dumb quote, saying young guys sometimes just go out and play and don't think.

 

Ron Rivera said he doesn't want Josh Norman to change. "He has found himself," Rivera said.

      Happy Thanksgiving You Filthy Animals

      By rayzor · Posted

      Just had Thanksgiving meal with a couple dozen family and friends. I lucked out and got one of the smoked turkey legs. Stuffing, mashed taters and gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, kale, smoked ham, chicken and rice, corn, lima beans, cranberry sauce, and great people. My brother got his guitar out and we got to singing. Lots of actual conversations with people I hardly  ever get to see, haven't seen in a while, or who I never met before. Just a great moment to remember.

      3-8 would be a higher win percentage than 3-9

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
