Talks about Hardy and the team's defensive performance. Says that the typical defensive lineman makes an impact play every 4-7 snaps, but that Hardy averaged 1 every 2.3 snaps against the Giants. Says sacks and tackles don't tell full picture, and that Hardy is generally misunderstood, has matured tremendously and worked very hard, deserves the recognition he is getting.

Said Byron Bell texted him after the Buffalo game, apologizing for his play, and they talked about it during the week. Byron bounced back very well, didn't give up a single pressure.

Robert Lester and Melvin White are roommates who seem to have a fast-growing friendship, and that relationship helped them once on the field together. Said Kawann and Star are forming a similar bond.

Talked about Ginn starting to show flashes of contribution beyond merely running go routes, and was perplexed that teams didn't try harder to use him as a receiver. Ginn is extremely thankful to be given any opportunity he gets, and acts like a professional. Saif players get labeled early on and that one has to be careful not to buy those labels just because not all circumstances are the same.

Said he ended up giving game balls to the entire defensive line, because they were challenged as a group to carry the team and responded better than he ever hoped. Said Star's workout for the Panthers before the draft was merely average, which gave them pause, but he chalked it up to conditioning and said the game film told a different story.

He also finished the conference off with an unscripted moment: when asked if he will enjoy the the off week he wryly quips "heck yeah!"

Thanks for the summary!

 

Rivera's right about Ginn - not all circumstances are the same.  Ginn's got Cam throwing to him now, and probably has gone through enough to know he won't be given a shot to play receiver forever.  He's got talent, that much is clear.  He was a great offseason pickup, and hoping he continues to make an impact.

i really hope sunday's win was largely a response to rivera's coaching and having the cojones to go for it on fourth down at the beginning of the game.

 

if so we may see more ballsy ron next week against the cardinals as his fear of being bitten in the ass by ballsy calls dissipates.

Nothing better for the team than a coach who the players like actually succeeding. I like Ron's person and hope he succeeds. He also needed this after all he's been through. You think you feel let down after a loss, how do you think he feels? Lol

I would personally feel a little better if I knew I was pocketing 11.2 million dollars win or lose.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
