Just came here to post this. Shorter arms also tend to come with more power because of the shorter lever and proximity to the body. But what do we know?

Woooow. Unbelievable. Way too young. Was a beast and had hoped we would be able to get him the year he came out in the draft. Just so sad... RIP.

Also, I had a feeling if his shooting could get back consistent, Oubre may have been the best value in free agency. Welp. He was the best value in free agency.

Also, until he rolled his ankle, I was gonna ask, with how Richards is showing, do we even need to play Plumlee when he gets back? My vote is no. Love Richards progression and hope the ankle is good.

Double Ts isn't bad.

Officials should've called that forearm shiver on Drummond before Miles retaliated on the other end. When the refs keeps letting them rough our guys up unchecked, things will get chippy... it just sucks we always get popped for it when they finally decide to step in.

Probably just ingratiating himself for when he takes the Virginia job in a few weeks.

Yes. Thats it. Yes.

Welp, Jermaine, meet the bench. Bench, Jermaine.

I think Person is being generous with his timeline on Rhule. As I said yesterday, my gut feeling is that Rhule will have to either win out or can only lose once in the remaining games to have any chance to keep his job going into next season. Tepper is not JR. He has shown he has no qualms or hesitancy to attempt to fix a mistake once it is identified, costs be damned. He has looked about as miserable as he possibly could every time we have seen him on gamedays this season and we know from Sheena Quick's leaked texts, he has already stepped in and forced moves to be made at QB when Rhule was the one that created the problem to begin with. If this was the past ownership, sure, I think he gets another year. I don't get that feeling with Tepper. Money is nothing to him and if he feels he has made a bad investment, he has no issue cutting his losses. And again, Rhule hasn't shown any tangible signs of improvement as a coach to this point. The fact that his decisions to mostly ignore offense while missing wildly at the most important position on a football team, not once, but twice, negates any improvement the defense has made. And anyone with eyes can see every Sunday, it's not that we're outmatched physically, because talent-wise there are few teams better than us from top to bottom (outside of OL)... we are simply being outcoached.

I don't know about any of them specifically, but I know the profile for me is a young, aggressive, forward-thinking, offensive minded HC. I've been saying it the last two hires - please no more conservative, defensive-minded coaches. Daboll is probably my favorite. Lafleur is intriguing.

Hey Teddy. You're right.

Yeah, I'm going 95-5, Rhule is out of here at season's end.

TBH, this moves feels a lot like bringing Cam back, in that I suspect it was pushed for by Tepper. I also mention that because I am now of the mind that it's starting to feel like we either have to win out or maybe only lose one for Rhule to keep his job at this point. JMO...

But, to play devil's advocate there, while it may be hard to run with those lopsided scores, the games got that way because he wasn't generating any production with the offense he was trying to run before the games got out of hand. He was just bad.

I've been stuck on the same thing... I dont get the timing at all, and would definitely suspect it had to do with some type of internal struggle. They could've realistically made this decision weeks ago, and if we were sure of it (as we should have been) after Miami, why wait until the Sunday of our bye week? A Sunday? I just don't get it.

I was hoping Sean Ryan would take over the playcalling duties, but nope... who tf is Jeff Nixon??? A Rhule crony?

Weird timing, but it had to be done

Smh... this sucks. Well, I guess we can look forward to a lot of minutes for Bouknight and Kai? Hope it's just tracing and they all have no actual infection or symptoms.

Sounds like you don't believe in our positionless, amoeba defense! DBO, bro! DBO! If you can imagine a 197 lbs. LB, it can be a reality!!! (Until he is getting pancaked every week as our opponent runs for 300 yards.)

Agreed and I will say, fwiw, Henderson finished last game amongst highest rated defenders and was graded over 90. I also expect both he and Gilmore will be getting a lot more snaps with Donte being IR'd now.

While i'm sure its possible, I trust zero things Matt Rhule says at this point... and Donte is a guy he talked up and vouched for going into this season. Donte played well early, but safety help or not, he looked bad the last two weeks in every type of scenario imaginable, and you could tell by some of the plays that safeties had nothing to do with it... like one on one coverage in zero blitzes. He just got exposed, and then despite being a captain, acted very immature while dealing with those struggles.

Agreed, until the last 2 weeks. And when it went sour, it went sour quick. But yeah, Whitehead was complete and utter trash on the field from day one.

The way this played out with Donte, especially what happened as of late, reminds me a lot of what happened with Whitehead last season. They talked him up, named him a captain, he ends up getting picked on in games, suddenly has a mystery injury pop up and gets demoted/benched, or in this case, IR'd.
