Teddy Bridgewater suggests using the opposite of Rivera mentality

Teddy Bridgewater said this about the loss to the Raiders. 

Quote

"We've just got to approach each snap as if we're down 14 points, 21 points," Bridgewater said. "As you watch the game, we were down two scores, and no one panicked, and there was more of a sense of urgency. So I think if we can start every drive with that sense of urgency, there will be more positive plays and less negative plays."

 

This is different. Always playing with a sense of urgency is something we have not seen in a long as time in Carolina. Rivera's team down by 14 with two minutes to go rarely showed real urgency. 

What Teddy is suggesting here is that perhaps even if it is tied or you have the lead it is the urgent business of the offense to score again. Weird huh?

yep, i got mad at the end of the game and didn't feel like talking about it but for a first year coach, new oc, dc, qb... i thought we looked and operated like a football team.   didn't always play like one, which is understandable right now - but it really showcased just how bad ron and staff were at all that and how use to it we had become

It can happen in today's NFL. The Niners had a 10 point lead with 8 minutes to go in last years' Super Bowl. The only safe approach is to always be looking for more points.

 

this, this statement feels so foreign

Yep. We have always been a defensively minded organization. I'm pretty sure JR talked about how he specifically looked for defensive minded HCs.

He modeled us after Pittsburgh and they have been that way traditionally. He forgot to model us after their front office. Their ability to evaluate talent is second to none.

The worst part was under River we had the QB to execute this type of philosophy, to always keep the pressure on, that in and of itself helps your defense by making the other team one dimensional. Think back to the Peyton Manning era with the Colts, they scored so much their defense didn't even have to play the run after the first quarter.

I'm not saying we possess that level of talent, however outside of what 5-7 QBs honestly Teddy is above average, and our top 3 WR + HB is as good as any in the NFL save the Chiefs arsenal perhaps. 

I never thought offense was gonna be an issue for us this season, dropping 30 Week 1 with all things considered impressed me.
