Ron's plan almost sounds like the old standard of putting them out there and if the O looks good on drive 1 then he will call it a day. Go get a TD and sit. If they don't on drive 1 then he throws them back out for a second attempt. Think we saw that in his Carolina days. 15ish snaps sounds about in that territory.

the contractors and York County make sense. It's what they were owed and listed at. if I am not mistaken, did Tepper's folk list RH as like a $750 creditor awhile back. I would just be curious how less than a thousand dollars turned into $20 million.

GTRE also says $20M will be available to city of Rock Hill, stemming from the sale of the 240-acre property Can someone translate why they doing that

Corral. Punt return. Curious to see who reps there and how they do.

It’s real, it’s always been his thing. At one point he had a course you could buy. https://coachtube.com/course/football/matt-rhule-building-the-brand/1066764 I mean, it’s probably is pretty good for who it is it suppose to be for. Rhule is a good coach in the big picture world of coaching. It’s like saying Sam Darnold sucks. It’s only in comparison to some of the best QBs on the planet that he sucks. I don’t think what he does works in the NFL. I’d love him in college though. It’s a tough bar to actually be good in both worlds.

I literally just said it in the post you quoted. Nothing with Rhule is obvious if you were actually looking to be fair though. Definitely not last camp. Or this one IMO. So many of his competitions IMO speak to that. You were right. I was wrong on this. I’m glad. I still hope he shelves the top tier guys.

Wouldn’t admit what? That my guess of what would happen might happen turn out to be wrong? lol. That happens a lot 55. I don’t give a poo about being wrong. I’m glad Rhule proved me wrong. I hope he does it a lot.

I haven’t seen that yet. Where did he say they both would play this weekend? I haven’t watched the presser yet. Is it there? that would be great. I have repeatedly said I don’t want to be right on that. I want to watch them.

Big deal. Matt Rhule has a good memory too. Was probably telling folks about the brand today.

Weak QB play probably has prevented that the past several years. I would think if you gave CMC to a more talented team he would be a true hybrid player. Not many slot guys are better than CMC.

saying to the media you have complete confidence in someone is completely meaningless in sports. There is nothing else to say. Just look at Rhule. He says junk like that all the time about guys. Then will cut them or trade them or fire them.

Ron wouldn't know what hit him when Foxy pulled out the old draw play on 3rd and long

I think how coaches have handled the preseason in the past is at least relevant if you want to guess on future actions. We play the Bills in our 3rd preseason game. McDermott’s schedule was the exact same one Rhule ended up using last year. Bills sat all there starters the first 2 preseason games and played them a half in game 3. They both meet in preseason game 3 this season. and last preseason season Rhule pretty much bullshitted like he probably was going to play Sam each week as the media hounded him. Then rule the starters out on Friday. Everyone had a field day shitting on Rhule then too for being scared to play Sam. Generally cited the heavy load his starters were getting in practice with other teams as the reason. Which is why it makes it easy to go ahead and rule them out for the NE week because he established that as the Rhule way last camp. we will see. I just want to watch football. I’ll be happy watching any QB not named PJ.

Well, I am a fan. My eyeballs tell me Baker is better than Sam and it really isn’t close. Our coaches see it different. I concede I don’t look at players like them. and I still like Chinn better in the box more given how our run D looks right now on paper. Folks are going to be running at us and he is a good player even if still raw. He was a rookie that made a run at DPOY. We need more playmakers/talent in there mixing it up IMO. I wouldn’t call it just 2 freak plays either as a rookie.

big plays? More TDs, FF, FR as a rookie on one less game. I like Chinn anywhere. But my preference based on 2 years is with him more in the box. Just seemed to be one of those guys that got the ball. And I think teams will run at as a fair amount and would rather have him more mixed up in it.

I think the general thought is he was a much bigger impact player his rookie year vs his sophomore year. He didn’t play FS his rookie year. It’s not the the can’t play FS. He can.

Same reason he gave Will Grier and PJ all the work last preseason? it also just opens the door for the media/fans/noise to have input on his QB decision. And he clearly IMO has always planned to let his evaluation with the Pats practice be where he makes the call to the public. At least that his been his claim. I’m just betting Rhule keeps being Rhule. We wanted to see Sam last preseason season. We didn’t. He just teased it. Just feels like the same script to me. We will see. I’d be happy to be off on my take. I’d like Baker and Sam to play. I’d like to see everyone but PJ. Preferably with a mix of starters and 2s for Sam/Baker but with Rhule sitting the legit studs out. Shelf Moore, CMC, and Moton. That would be my ideal game this Sat.

See I think that just cements that you don’t see Baker or Sam this weekend. If he isn’t playing them in preseason game 2, he won’t play them for preseason game 1…where starters generally don’t play. Rhule is going to have the “competition” be in camp/practice. It gives the media, fans, etc the least info into why he makes it. And then Rhule plays his staters just like last year. One game for a half in game 3. He is just BSing about how they might play just like he did last preseason IMO. He just doesn’t want to say the truth and deal with it before the game. Like last year.

They put co-starters for people “competing” yet have our #1 overall pick as 2nd string. Guess the vets are deemed more sensitive.

I think the end will be really good. Corral and Howell. Well, that's the part I want to watch at least.

I mean, Fox and Ron were just decent coaches. Flawed sure. But they overall were decent NFL coaches. Clear strengths and weaknesses. Rhule doesn't have a NFL strength IMO. He has a college one. Rhule seem like a Dabo-wannabe. And Dabo would be a horrible NFL coach. Dabo's A+ schtick wouldn't work in the NFL. And Rhule is bringing like a C game college schtick to the NFL.

I mean, I'm just saying what I think happens, not what I want to see. Rhule already said he won't play one and not the other. I just don't see how a HC can risk his starters for that long in preseason game 1 for a fake competition. Everyone on the team already knows Baker is better.
