Rivera comments on the scuffle

Comments from Rivera's presser, about 14:20 in (link)

I was very pleased with the physical play, and I was very pleased with the scuffle. Because again, as I said, this is our house. You come in here, and you're not gonna shove us around and push us and we're not gonna take it. You know, we're just not gonna take it. And I'm glad we drew the line. I'm glad it happened the way it did. You know, because again people need to know we're not gonna take it. We're gonna hit you back.

Similar moment at around 11:35. Joe Person asks Rivera if he thought Shockey got too emotional during the game.

Rivera said "No. That's him." He went on to say that his emotion and attitude is what he wants to see on his team. Made reference also to Newton having that kind of fire as well.

Pretty clear he's not gonna pull back the reins on anyone being competitive. Just the opposite. He plans to stoke those fires.

Listen, go back to the video to where Smitty throws Jenkins down and then picks him up from his helmet. There are a couple seconds there where you can tell Jenkins is terrified and realizes he made a mistake by getting involved in this.

I guess we saw the same thing.. who in their right mind would f**k with Smitty? everyone knows he has a screw loose out on that field..

as he shouldn't. great message, Rivera.. can't remember the exact conversation, was a long time back, but as I remember it, a few huddlers disagreed with that mentality.. f**k that, come out heated and ready to fight.. this is football.

it shouldn't even have to be explained..

    • Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down. 
    • Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
