CRA

eh, everyone slows down to look at an accident. Good or bad. I watch the Panthers. I suspect after this weekend, it gets really bad in Carolina. Not sure this weekend won't be bad. But I suspect the rest is a pretty safe bet.

yeah, new guy is promising. Which means he likely won't be around long. So enjoy it while you can.

Rhule's goal is to seek out the worst possible place to put Brady. Then insert him there.

So not only are “short” arms not necessarily a disadvantage, but they're also not uncommon. Does Arm Length Affect OT Play? | PFF News & Analysis | PFF

It's like Matt Rhule is reading a cliff notes version of how to coach. But it is written in Chinese and he has a poor translator. and the old arm length myth doesn't hold up. Think there is a post from the offseason that list all the All Pros and Pro Bowlers who defy what grandpa used to tell the grandchildren about what a LT has to be.

Rhule's the one running an amatuer hour football team. Can't let Joe Brady blind us from that primary issue.

yeah, you watch vintage Peyton Manning....and a run play and a play action play are identical. Part of that was the offensive scheme and part of that was Peyton dedicated to making the playaction mechnanics of his mirror his run handoff. Little things end up being big things. But yeah, if your run plays and pass plays aren't coming out of the same looks....that makes it comically easy on a defense. Bulk of Cam's plays should be RPOs . Especially given he was limited in the O. That was discussed coming in about him needing heavy RPO looks to be able survive in a limited playbook.

Nice reminder on Robby. Robby is currently making more than Devante Adams, Diggs, etc this season. Slated to be the 16th highest paid in the NFL next season too. another example of why Matt Rhule has botched the rebuild effort yet some what to give him MORE time.

Think things have decent odds of snowballing if we lose to Atl. Book is out on how to destroy our O. Everyone after Atl has the D to do it. All can stop the run. Brady threw for 400 yards the last game of the season last year. Good luck to Arians getting him to sit.

and to get an average of 3….means a lot are gone sooner than 3.

sunk cost fallacy If Rhule doesn't have it, which he clearly doesn't look to have it at all.....there is no point wasting more time with him. Parting with a HC after two years isn't some crazy and ballsy move in the NFL. That is actually pretty normal in the NFL when a team gets stuck with someone that clearly isn't going to work.

Hard to call what Rhule is doing a real rebuild though. Rebuilding teams don't sign Teddy and then Darnold back to back to those contracts....and mortgage draft picks in the process of doing so.

Same overall point that firing Joe Brady achieved. It’s been a game of mitigating the boos at BOA for some time now. Tepper had a problem with it IMO. Last two home games the boo birds have had massive impact. Got to think Tepper has made it known that is a problem. One thing Rhule has in his favor is 3 of the 5 remaining are on the road. Atl game is huge. Think Cam can save Rhule. Then Rhule gets boo’d out loudly vs Tampa but won’t have to return to BOA after that one.

Probably need Gilmore on Patterson this time. Patterson is the Atl offense. It all goes through him. question will be can they cover Pitts if Gilmore takes out Patterson. Which he will.

That’s what Urban Meyers’ two fans in Jacksonville are claiming too. not sure which deserves to be fired first. Probably Urban. But both clearly aren’t NFL guys.

Finish 5-12. That would be 7 game losing streak to end the season. Boo’d at BOA loud to close it all out? Rhule doesn’t come back.

We should win this week and I expect us to. now, if we get embarrassed the last 4? Does he keep his job at 6-11? I don’t think he should.

He hired Joe Brady He fired Cam Newton A rebuilding team gave away 2022 draft picks for….Sam Darnold Matt Rhule has never beaten a single team of note in college or the pros

Football is weird. Being a good OC or DC isn’t what makes a lot of great HCs. Especially college. More about culture, management of people and situations. 3 of the last 5 college championships were won by a HC who never was a OC or DC a day in their lives.

Nobodies can come off the street and be inserted into good offenses. With good OLs. Or if you are playing against a bad opponent. CMC helps a QB deal with the fact we have a horrific OL. Which is key when you are facing a good defenses. Which 4 of the remaining 5 are. You can implement the Falcons game plan against the Falcons. That’s it of what’s remaining. Rest of the Ds are too good to pull that off with Hubbard and this OL

How you feel about that? if Clemson had a legit passing QB I’d be down for that. But we gonna have to get creative on the ground for a minute.

Huddle is the huddle. Football talk hasn’t changed. More of America might be taking up message board football talk though and applying it elsewhere. People wanted to hang me for awhile for calling James Anderson a JAG. Swap out first names and present day it was Robby. Same stew cooking here. Same reactions. Good takes, bad takes. Huddle has always had someone to call anything you say idiotic.

I mean the Lions could call them themselves in mix week 1 for a Super Bowl. The math was there. Does that mean they actually were? we aren’t a post season team. not with the remaining schedule. Not with this OL. No CMC. And this coaching staff. and I am a Cam stan. But no, Cam doesn’t make sense for a new HC post Rhule that is going to rebuild the O. And as I said the day we drafted Cam and as I lobbied for Cam to be Cam…..he would never have the window a traditional pocket passer would have. And an 11 year vet isn’t who you rebuild with.

We rented Gilmore and desperately brought Cam back in a couple weeks ago. That is a team thinking they are a playoff team. Not a rebuild.

Not my logic. I didn’t believe Sam would succeed. Not just a poor OL excuses for Brady. Poor OL paired with a poor QB…..you give that to an inexperienced passing game OC and the results are predictable. And it played out that way. * and yes a great QB can still have success with weak OL play. See Cam. See Watson. See parts of Brady’s career. See a ton of players. But you need an actual good QB to pull offense off with a bad OL.
