KSpan

All reasonable, but I still stand by my premise that players whining on social media about fan comments doesn't necessarily equate to a lost locker room.

Right, and I'm not at all saying Rhule and co. are equivalent to Reid, but rather that athletes can be social media divas in lots of situations.

Eh, I get it but guys like Tyrann Mathieu (who I personally think is a bit of a thin-skinned b....) were clamoring about KC fans being the worst in the NFL and "one of the most toxic fan bases in all of sports" and they seem to have turned it around. https://www.si.com/nfl/2021/10/30/tyrann-mathieu-says-chiefs-may-have-one-of-the-most-toxic-fan-bases

The 2001 team was at least entertaining, if not competitive a fair bit of the time, and invented new and interesting ways to lose, and the 2010 team had the promise of the #1 overall pick and a brand new staff for 2011. At the moment we're just in this weird purgatory that has lasted for several years.

No they're not. They beat bad teams and wilt against good ones, just like their starting QB. They've benefitted from one of the easiest 2021 schedules to date. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/ranking/schedule-strength-by-other Carolina's a dumpster fire for sure, but Teddy B sure isn't any kind of answer. Maybe Denver gets into the playoffs but as has been discussed as nauseum on here, being just good enough to sneak to the playoffs shouldn't be the objective.

Rhule's brand of analytics right there.

They can count things even after that BS roughing earlier.

Roughing the passer?!? Wtf.

Holy crap, are these adjustments we are seeing? What are these points in the 3rd quarter?

It was a net 24 yard interception that gave them the ball near midfield. It was absolutely not equivalent to an actual punt.

I assume this is sarcasm/a dig at the last bad punt. If so, might not be wrong.

Good things happen when defenses actually catch interceptions... who knew?

Brown seems to give a crap today.

Since when do they call that before the ball is snapped?

And looks like Atlanta is going to the cheat code 4/5/6/7-hole runs that Carolina/Snow still hasn't figured out how to defend.

Happens, and it's early. Let's see if it continues a la Donte the last 2 weeks or if he settles in.

Cam running through and over the Falcons: as it has been, as it shall continue to be.

I suspect Dave/Hurney/both though he/they might be outsmarting the NFL/ahead of the curve with the Rhule hire and all that stuff about analytics and setting up a sport science program that we've never heard anything else about since then. Unfortunately, the rest of the package seems to be lacking.

Busting out the Clausen reference... a brutal reality check right there.

Sure, but to specifically say that arm length is why he's better suited to guard is just dumb.

Buccaneers - 4:35 mark of this video.

They're having the most success going right at/just inside of Burns and Reddick and outside the DTs. Franky, I don't necessarily blame Burns and Reddick for the run failures since they aren't really built for that. I'd like to see a more traditional DE on the field to pair and one of those guys playing more off-ball, giving more of a zone blitz-esque vibe. Hell, put them both on the same side at times and let them try to block both.

Gotcha. My point was that the results to date and fact that this is even a conversation at this point indicates that his approach failed and something new is needed. With that said I agree that he wouldn't give complete control, and I'm somewhat OK with that. He would, however, hopefully accept the counsel of some proven NFL folks and let that play a key role in the overall process. Whatever he's currently doing, be it a lot or a little, sure isn't working out on the field.
