Anyone else think...

..That Rivera's starting CB's are going to be ,CB1 Chris Gamble, CB2 Cletis Gordon?

... They both have similar build and Gordon is a Rivera guy. He's seen him in SD and knows what he's capable of. Is this why, maybe, just maybe, we aren't going after a vet guy?

Thoughts? Also, I trust in Rivera, he knows Defenses. If he's not too worried about the position then I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Captian is the number 2 corner, unless he plays terrible as the season progresses. He has pretty much been the number 2 corner since he got here and the staff thought Marshall was better at the Nickel.

Is Munnerlyn perfect? Far from it but he is the 2nd best corner on this team as of now. That of coarse could change.

I dunno about Cletis starting, but I agree that Rivera should be trusted regarding the defense. The point was made in another thread that Rivera made a #1 overall defense out of a bunch of no names last year and then someone replied "they weren't no names, they had _____ and _____ and _____" and proceeded to list like 4 or 5 no names and Weddle. I agree with the first point. Rivera really did seem to make the most out of the players he had to work with in SD. If he thinks we're good at CB, I'll take his word for it for now.

Why did you not resign Marshall?

You have Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Mike Williams in your division.

What the previous HC and staff thought about players is now completely irrelevant.

No one knows what Rivera and McDermott think about Capt.

why are you on a panthers message board. derp

Leave him alone! He's an endangered species, a Falcons fan that's not retarded.

And to answer your question spotondtan, Marshall wasn't as good as the paycheck he apparently wanted. I figure Rivera and McDermott figure the guys behind him on the depth chart can do as good a job as he could.

    • I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔
    • I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.
    • I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
