I want to see Corral get his usual rep count.

My thoughts too, with the one caveat being his relationship (if it’s a good one) with Rhule. The same job (same PT) you hated before, with a new boss you like sometimes makes all the difference. This of course, includes some assumptions.

People slobbering over two QB’s whose team is always the best on the field. Corral is dead to the huddle now, but put him on Ohio St. or Bama and he balls out.

But I just bought this.

Right. And even they get eaten sometimes. Corral does have tape easily handling free SEC rushers in space. The thing is, he calmly handles a single free rusher, but people expect him to superman 2-3 guys? Let’s be realistic.

It’s baffling to me how people downplay the benefits of reps. It’s such an ignorant take. These same people probably expected Cam to instantly be in sync with his teammates coming in off the street. A QB needs reps for timing, for familiarity, for realizing raw data (playbook) into experience. MC had 3 other QB’s taking reps. He undoubtedly looks better if there were 3 QB’s in camp, or just him and Darnold/Baker. The kid has undeniable talent if you simply watch game tape in the SEC. Just chill and let him learn a bit before shitting on him.

We traded a 5th for Baker that could (and most likely will) become a 4th.

Dude Corral was my top QB in the draft; I love the tools he has, but if you want to be taken seriously you can’t be hyperbole all the time. It’s like you started as parody and gaslit yourself.

People giving up on Corral after seeing less than a game of reps, and about equal practice reps.

Does anyone (maybe who followed college ball closely) know why he went from potential 1st/2nd round prospect to where we ended up drafting him? He doesn’t seem to have glaring weaknesses. He gives off “loves football” vibes. He likes contact and plays mean. He had nice size, and as displayed, more than enough mobility. And he isn’t a small school guy. I just don’t get it. Strong Andrew Norwell essence from Mays.

Most likely so both QB’s get time with the 2’s in the first half, then 3-4’s in the second half. Makes sense to me. Certainly better than Corral just with dudes who won’t make the team.

Moton is the perfect RT and is the most under appreciated (or under talked about) player on our team. Top 3 player on the team by skill, and arguably our best player when you weigh availability.

Celebrating a lack of pessimism by posting that there is a lack of pessimism is a good way to invite pessimism.

CJ and Horn. Damn the potential is

I’m a fan of my team winning (duh) so Rhule isn’t my bestie, but I would say there is always a case to be made for a coach when he doesn’t have even average QB play, and a dogshit offensive line on top of that. There was also a lot of smoke regarding a lack of competency with Brady at OC. Additionally the best weapon on the team hasn’t been able to play (CMC). Add all that up and you have a team that’s completely neutered on one side of the ball. It’s laughable after listing it. Now you can make an argument that roster/draft/FA decisions fuged the game day roster, and without being in those decision rooms, we could only assume that Rhule messed those decisions up that impacted the offense on game day. Rhule isn’t all bad, and the good decisions would be much more apparent if we had a QB the last two years. Those losing teams are probably .500 teams if the forward pass was part of the offense.

Maybe Jordan works his ass off and that’s why he’s getting a shot from Rhule. Perhaps he looks different in practice.

This is good. Ikey at LT means Brady will take that LG spot and Jordan will sit his ass on the bench, where he can block as many people as he does in game.

It’s one thing to talk poo online, but most people are likable in person. Always reserve judgement until you meet people yourself.

Aside from record, aren’t those subjective things though? And specifically with play design, I’ve always been under the impression that the OC/DC are delegated to play design, so Rhule’s “play design” issues would be more about delegating to the wrong OC (Brady), no?

That’s not my intention. Naturally people will just bitch. fug them. Ignore them. They don’t have specifics and are just emotional. I’m curious to hear from those who have justifications based on observations of the college approach, and it’s translation to the league.

This is a timeless phrase that has been used on countless college coaches/players that don’t succeed at this level. Naturally, with our lack of success since Rhule took over, it’s used on him. Regarding Rhule, what does that statement mean to you? Is it a general statement? Do you have specifics based on your observations of the college game vs. the NFL? As a person who hasn’t focused on the college game in the last few years, I’m interested in knowing your thoughts.

The safety made a great play. He’s a professional too. Those guys aren’t perfect either. Sometimes the defender just makes a better play.
