What did the Carolina FO do to put a product on the field that could win ball games? The line is poo poo, the receivers are poo poo outside of your #1 and he's pretty alright, the running back situation is and has been poo poo for a long time, the secondary is Is Rivera the biggest problem with that organization? edit: I'm not trolling, I'm honestly asking your opinion, my dog.

The receivers are better as a whole than last year, but there wasn't a lot of flexibility due to the cap situation. I'll spare you the specifics, but coaching philosophy and personnel decisions have crippled this team.

ROSS MY SALAD posted:UTKevinAcee @UTKevinAcee · 5h 5 hours ago This year's Ravens secondary is a lot like last year's O-line. The bar is so low that it will be hard for the team not to significantly improve. Maybe the Ravens still make the playoffs but I feel comfortable saying their is zero chance that they go on any kind of run if they do.

A blocked punt is bad but it can happen every now and again. To have two is a serious issue that shows the coach did not even bother make adjustments.

Chilichimp posted:Outside of obvious clock mismanagement and lovely coach speak, is Ron Rivera really that bad? What did the Carolina FO do to put a product on the field that could win ball games? The problem is last year Mike Mitchell and Quentin Mikel played really well and both of those guys were cast offs. The defensive line was the best in the NFL at rushing the passer due in no small part to the play of Greg Hardy - he and Johnson were a terrifying tandem, it also allowed them to do 07 giants type poo poo like shift one of them inside and bring on another edge rusher. Combine that with Luke and Davis and you had a dynamite front seven with a back four that could support the run. All they had to do was be decent against the pass and that's all they were. A year later Hardy gets put on the exempt list after being franchised for 15 million. Gross and Wharton who formed a very good left side of the line retire, Cam comes into the year not really doing much in training camp, suffering through lingering injuries -with rookies and free agents he needed to find chemistry with at receiver and a line that couldn't protect him. So the net result is safties who can't cover, corner backs who were never any good to start with and a defensive line that is no longer effective combined with an offensive line featuring two players out of five who should be starting for an NFL franchise, a group of running backs who got hurt from top to bottom and an offensive coordinator who didn't know what the no huddle was. That's not hyperbole either, like I'm not saying he's retarded here, he legitimately had to call Cam in for a meeting so Cam could explain to him how the concept worked. Couple that with Ron Rivera a guy who needs competent assistants to succeed simply failing to grasp the mood of the team and you have a recipe for implosion. Fiz is correct though. This is still a hangover from the Hurney years. The Franchise tag on Hardy couldn't really have been avoided but the lack of money outside of there to bring in a guard and a tackle along with a middling corner back and safety is what hurt more than anything. I fully think that while Shula and Rivera might not have been amazing for the next decade had the Panthers trotted out the same offensive and defensive lines this year as last year and Cam been healthy in the preseason they're leading the division right now. They were 3 and 2 at week 5. With the losses coming away to the Ravens and at home to the Steelers. It was after that things went downhill really quickly. The good thing is the team is easily repairable. It's just going to take some diligent management and an offensive coordinator who knows his ear hole from his rear end in a top hat but the core group is good. Newton, Olsen, Benjamin, Kalil, Tolbert, Philly Brown, Trai Turner form a decent enough player group for complementary pieces like Cotchery and co to be effective if the line gets fixed. Defensively Luke, Davis and Blackburn are a decent linebacker group, Star, Kawaan Short, Johnson and Hardy (if back) form a great defensive line and Norman and Beniwikere form a good enough defensive nucleus. The team is visibly lacking direction, identity and leadership that they had a year ago. It's Cam's offense and it's Luke's defense and that's fine for a long time (by NFL standards) they need coaches who can form a game plan allowing them to shine and limiting their weaknesses. Instead the coaches are actively ignoring the mood of the team in game situations and not finding ways to limit the failures.
