Yeah you're either get inexperienced like Kubiak, or washed up like O'brien. This does sound like some business power move Tepper would come up with though

Yeah and that's with Cousins/Thielen/Jefferson/Dalvin Cook, and a slightly better O-line. This also doesn't help with the possible interim head coach thing either because he's a 34 year old first time OC who has an nfl job because of his Dad.

Vikings fans are clowning us, this is one of the nicer comments and sounds like a sideways move at best I think Baby Kubiak has potential. Weren't we one of the best red zone teams? And for a while there we were the best team on opening drives? Now, if he could minimize the three-and-outs, minimize all the worthless designed throws behind the LOS, and learn how to adjust mid-game, he has a chance. We'll see.

Yup sure enjoyed dancing around the stadium his first year before the L's started coming. I guess he'll get cornered at the owners meeting by some media but it won't be a legit 20-30 minute presser

Gotta be Tepper not wanting to admit he made a mistake, trying to force Rhule into some semblance of success even if it requires demoting him to head sideline cheerleader. He did say he saw a lot of himself in Rhule

Looks like we're stuck watching another season of Last Chance Rhule

Even putting Cam in for 1 handoff to a TE or whatever was disrespectful. I do agree Rhule is trying to force his decisions into success. Like running Chuba who is super average on 80% of the preseason drives, then they pick up Abdullah off the street with no knowledge of the playbook and it's basically a wash. I still don't understand why he wants to force a couple of guys into success and at the same time not accept the fact that BC and Deonte Brown were better options on OL all year long. I've had some crazy bosses that just didn't like certain people for no particular reason before tho so maybe he's just that kinda person, or so stubborn and in his own ego he can't accept admitting being wrong even if it's to the detriment of the team

That's literally how they tried to sell him to the media after picking him up on the first day of FA, his high school or college wrestling skills that translate to NFL Center play

The last thing he should be doing is cleaning up the LB's mistakes and covering WR's deep. I know their theory was him being too small to be a true LB but this whole analytics thing isn't really going so well with Rhule applying it to measurements/weight

I think he's technically a high school wrestler playing Center or something

Yup Rhule basically inherited his best players. The interesting thing will be if they can convince Reddick/Luvu to come back. I know this the offensive list but those are really the only FA's on either side of the ball worth bringing back

Any specific O-line guys besides Evan Neal declaring for the draft I should say?

Anyone worth keeping an eye on besides Evan Neal in this game? Dunno anything about college football

Yup AJ Brown went off in a few games when they needed to pass the ball, Tannehill still went for 3700 yards, 21-14 TD to int ratio. Imagine if Rhule had Derrick Henry instead of CMC and lost him for 8 weeks? Tennessee barely flinched

And if they hadn't picked up his 5th year option would they even resign him now? If not, how idiotic would it be to trade 3 draft picks for one year of whatever that was? Serious lose/lose situation

That black tops white bottoms look yesterday was the worst. Looked like a laundry mix up

I could see Pep Hamilton taking a shot. He just coached up Herbert in 2020 and helped Davis Mills look decent in Houston this year. If things don't work out here it won't ruin his career in the long run, if Rhule gets the axe mid season it's a good opportunity for Pep

Yeh don't get the OP, they just made the playoffs and anything goes now. If they make a run why would they let him go? And at the same time why would you think he could/want to walk in to a poo situation and turn it around?

The jags D was ballin all day, the Lions fans had the freakin Wave going during the game. They both know they're on the up and up. Can't wait for the day I never have to listen to a Rhule press conference again or see his confused face on the sideline

I missed the game and just watched the Youtube highlights, seemed like the OL looked a lot better on I'm guessing their 2nd drive when Deonte was in? Every snap on the first drive it was chaos but when Brown was in at least Sam could step in to that quarter of the line for an extra half second. But then they took him out for that 4th and 1 near the goal line, where that's the optimal time to have Deonte and Cam in a package like that? I'm guessing Rhule was hoping Sam could get in the endzone to further justify his reason for taking him, but don't understand why you'd take the brick wall out.

missed the game, just checking out the highlights. Damn that is a horrible uniform combo, looks like they forgot their black pants and just wearing long johns on the bottoms

Whats an assistant OL coach do? Run errands for the actual OL coach? Make sure the pads are on the blocking sleds? Sounds like he gained some legit NFL experience doing that for the Giants for one season almost 10 years ago for a dinosaur HC

Yup Gruden was caught wasted, smoking weed hitting on some young chick right around the time he got fired from Washington correct? If they took one of these guys there is no Rhule culture/program building or whatever. It's just a bunch of guys that fuged up an entire football organization scrambling to put something resembling an actual NFL team together to save the fans from complete disinterest. Really wish we'd grabbed Dan Campbell or even Saleh over Rhule

For a college coach they owe zero favors to? Pretty sure they'd be more interested in taking a shot coaching Justin Fields or Trevor Lawrence. Darnold is gonna make the best OC available look like a total bust. He's gonna get the leftovers from the 3-4 desirable coaching jobs already interviewing new staff
