I just need to quit listening to Rhule speak to reporters. For whatever reason, those keep turning me off of late. Well, for awhile now.

tomato, tomaTOE. We can call it a learning curve if you like. If the other sounds too harsh. But I think it is a broad learning curve that shows up in lots of areas. Which again is fine. But we should be able to talk about them. I admittedly am not a fan of the college coach route. NFL just is a different beast IMO. What works in college rarely translate. I mean I love me some Dabo. I would blast Carolina for thinking he could turn this franchise around. He couldn’t. Well, until, he proved everyone and including me wrong. Rhule might work out. But I just don’t see it.

NFL isn’t small time college football. That is where the green is coming from. see Teddy’s comments where people got outraged for him just pointing something out. and this conversation spawned out of a questionable strategy about building the OL. The bad plan noted a couple post ago and NFL teams all have different personnel, strengths and weaknesses…..and for two consecutive weeks of camp he has deferred to other teams to script his practice time to suit their preference. Different teams need different things from practice. and I am fine with a green coach that has to learn… if we can talk about it

I have no doubt it will help him and his green staff learn how to do things. but that is part of the point. This staff is on over their head at the moment. Saw and heard parts of that last year. A fact people have repeatedly denied to suit other arguments when things are pointed out and criticized. so we should be able to collectively acknowledge they have a lot to learn about running a NFL team. Which people have struggled with

maybe Matt Rhule can ask John Harbaugh what to do. Even as the host, he continues to defer to other teams about how his guys will work. Matt Rhule: "You know Coach Harbaugh. I said, hey coach, why don't you go ahead and script these practices as well"

well, seems like a bad plan. If that was the plan. We had 4 spots on the OL we aren't very good at...and one we are very good at.

I just hate actually having a really good RT....and then moving him so we end up not having any actually good lineman. Not doubt Moton is the best option likely at LT. But I'd rather us get at LT. Crazy, I know.

looks like we found one. Some sleeper cell poster from a rival team just outed himself. Let me see if I can remember where that ban button is.

I pray some old vet LT gets cut later and we can rent them for a year.

backup QBs are only brought up because of one reason. Sam Darnold isn't even in Teddy Bridgewater's QB tier to date.

PJ Walker lead the offense to 4 scoring drives in a half. Pretty sure that is positive, especially given it was the first action on the year and he only has 1 NFL start to his name.

think you got to keep him until you find a replacement body. Which likely wouldn't be until final cuts.

he is going into his 3rd season and has started games on the OL the last 2 years. I mean, it's great to get something for him. If you are Miami? He is probably better than grabbing an offensive lineman with a 7th round pick.

Ron remains my favorite human that has ever coached here

But but but…Rhule said he needed to not play his starters to figure out these 5 cuts. No NFL coach would just be up their bullshitting us about these things

Minshew is more the school ground QB IMO. That why he had more success than Darnold to date. He is better at making something happen IMO

If he is the guy from the Jets we will be picking in the middle of the pack. that’s the Darnold problem. We got to 8 last year because CMC essentially misses the entire season

the bar is what we have. Minshew has been better in the NFL than Darnold. I don't buy an arguement that Darnold has a higher ceiling either. I mean, we aren't getting Minshew. But if all things we even and you got the option to pick one....Minshew is the better gamble. But if gambling on one is all your actual plan is....well, that remains a bad plan.

Yeah, I would guess Pride as one of the 5. I'll guess one of the RBs too. Smith maybe.

I think the fumble was just lack of NFL caliber reps and awareness. defenders are faster and better. I feel he felt he was in a safe position and wasn’t prepared for someone catching him from behind him. that was a TD in college

about to hit a weird window when in comes to QBs/WRs IMO. Statically, there are just going to be so many with comparable numbers to Hall of Famers.

Cam gets weird. He is #1 all time in rushing TDs by a QB at 70. Second place is Steve Young with 43. He is #2 all time in rushing yards by a QB only trailing Vick. He needs 711 yards to jump Vick. Which means Cam just needs to log probably 2 more seasons.

89 and Luke 100% get in. Peppers IMO has the best odds of being put in as a first ballot.

also, the busts get weird. I mean, Mariota vs Manuel for example. Serviceable player vs doesn't belong in the league.
