Related Topics: Rich Eisen, Ron Rivera

Here’s a summary of Ron Rivera’s key quotes from his interview with Rich Eisen yesterday.

Ron Rivera dialed into The Rich Eisen show yesterday for about twelve minutes and discussed a number of things worth mentioning. I’ve embedded the full video below but also offer this tl;dr version (did I use that acronym right?):

On Cam Newton:

  • We remain hungry because we didn’t finish the job
  • Cam is the same guy as last year though he’s learned from his experiences last season
  • He takes things personal (hence his post-SB presser)
  • Who we try to be: We are physical upfront on both sides (mentions current streak of rushing for over 100 yds in 28 straight games

On the departure of Josh Norman:

  • We just had to absorb the loss of Norman, though he wanted to keep him they decided they didn’t HAVE to keep him.
