Great Rivera interview by Sorensen

[Squirrel]

Q: What kind of groupings?

An odd front would be a definite possibility. A three-three: three down linemen, three linebackers and five defensive backs

ooh! 3-3-5 nice! Can see it working well with our CB's an linebackers

I love reading his interviews.

our pass rush better be good and consistent, if the defense and it's players are going to thrive with their aggressiveness.

I like his candor and his choice of words."Pass rush" can come from several positions though you normally associate it with the DE or even UT.If he wants to reduce CJs reps it sounds like either Alexander will have to step up or we will be signing a FA

Or, maybe sit out a few 1st and 2nd downs. We are talking about 2 or so plays a drive. Should be easy peasy to get some extra rest for CJ. Of course, if Riv cannot get him rest, that is a rant for another thread.

Still not going to dent my giddy. And GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pejorative Miscreant]

He is purposely goading the guys he did not mention. Ecause he knows some of them are busting ass. I suspect wr and cb are the biggest points of contentIon.

Kinda like reverse, reverse phsychology? If you want Riv to mention you, you had better "Flash"? I wonder whether we should start a flash count?

I don't want to make this sound simplistic, but I have a feeling Riv knows who to goad and who to let go. I believe in this particular instance, Riv was using it as a tool to let the younger guys know. We may be going 3/4 speed, but I still want to see you busting your butt.
