Rivera on Cash's excuse after he "hit" McCaffrey during non-contact drills

[top dawg]

This one even made old stoic Ron laugh...almost. I guess it kept Cash from Ron's doghouse.

'He shook me so bad that I fell into him'

Said Rivera: “I have never had a player tell me: ‘Hey, Coach, he shook me so bad that I fell into him.’ He told me that and I almost laughed. But I appreciated the brutal honesty. … Normally, players don’t want you to know they got shook.”

That's some funny poo right there. The legend of Run CMC grows.

That's funny, but I doubt that Cash was ever really in the dog house  though. He's too much of an up and coming player for RR to get too upset over and aggressive mistake in practice.

There was probably some other poo going on in practice and this was a defining moment to bring forth a disciplinary example.  RR doesn't seem to be a guy to hold grudges for a heat of the moment misstep.  Especially from a guy like Cash who is not a habitual dirty player.

Yeah, but he's only in his second year and he made plays as a rookie. Do you not consider him and up and coming player?

coaches and players don't play that poo, especially in non contact drills and to one of your most talented offensive weapons.

I'm guessing it was more about tackling CMC to the ground more than anything else. The goal is to thud and wrap up without going to the ground and risking injury. Any RB's knees will take enough of a beating during the pre season and regular season without having to deal with these hits in practice. That said, this was not a bad hit and I'm pretty sure RR will not hold it agains Cash long term.

This is a guy that should get a shot at SS.

poo for Burfict

Burfict has gotta be the dirtiest player currently in the league right now

So is Shaq. So was Ginn. So was Norman. 

The treatment Norman received shows that no one is above the Doghouse of RR.

They should have just kept him there out of college, we have enough LBs. I don't know what his pass coverage skills are but we know he has great closing speed and tackling well.

Am I the only one who doesn't buy Cash's excuse? Is it possible that McCaffrey has a bad year by shaking guys so badly that they fall and tackle him anyway...
