Will players play harder?

With the firing of Marty, it seems players are very pissed. We already heard some don't like the coaches and Rivera losing the locker room. Will they just go out there and play their best? Or will one player just snap on the coaches, I believe Cam will be the one to snap. You would think this would motivate them, but I feel they will just go trough the motions.

They may play harder because at this point anybody can get axed

Yes, but only to a certain point. Players like CJ, DeAngelo, Stew have crippling contracts that will kill us cap-wise if they are cut.

I think it's a near certainty that players will play harder because they all got slapped in the face with "noone in this organization is above being shitcanned". The problem will be if they are all playing to save their own asses and not playing harder as a team. There is a real and tangible difference and a lot of players playing to save their own asses and not as a team isn't going to be anything anyone wants to see.

Honestly through this whole process I see that as the biggest challenge for Rivera. The coaching staff can make decisions to change scheme / playcalling / fire assistants on their own...but keeping this team playing hard as a team through the rest of this season is going to be damn hard to do.

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
