Rhule is a moron. I just started watching, why exactly do we have zero timeouts again?

Yeah Sam didn't get the 5th year til during the draft so draft picks+Darnold's 5th year option wiped out like $25mil in one weekend if you're going by having $60mil last March or whenever the league resets

Maybe that was before Darnold got his 5th year option? Add Cam's $6m out of the roll over money plus Henderson's contract and that would be close to that math

I think it's closer to $30mil according to over the cap. Need about 5-6$m for the draft, so $25 mil to pay Cam, Gilmore, Reddick. Even with setting up bonuses on those deals we'd maybe have $10m left for signing dudes like Luvu, Haynes, backup OL etc. It's really not that much and not many contracts to restructure besides Shaq. I guess you could try CMC/Robby/Moton but their deals are just getting started so weird time to restructure.

I think Daviyon Nixon was playing some underrated DT before he got injured, Phil Hoskins still isn't up to speed so you're left with Bravvion-Rex as your only rotational DT

His intermediate passes actually look like they have more touch on them though, he's not sailing balls over guys heads like he used to. Could be a combination of maturity and limitation, but I think he was 70% last week when he was generally 58-60% in the past

These refs oof

Everything you're not suppose to do? Bad hands, bad feet. Christensen gets beat too/doesn't get a good push on the DE but PJ coulda stepped up if there was a couple feet in front of him

Why's Mcdaniels getting all these minutes?

Nope, viewed as a backup/developmental swing tackle and maybe guard in a pinch among most. Rhule was the one who said he graded higher as a guard, a position he never played in college and considering his weakness is the bull rush makes zero sense that he should be going against DT's in the middle. Just say you drafted a backup/developmental LT in the 3rd round and let him work on it at the pro level for a year. He looked fine at RT in the preseason as well but they got cute and tried to put Moton at RT for that one game and he got two false starts. Just develop guys at their positions and have Erving/Scott/Daley/Elf be your emergency swing guys. For as much as Rhule loves very average John Miller they just stuck him at RG and forgot about it

Big Lots pretty soon

Seems like teams are making moves over this coming Holiday weekend, Nagy possibly gone in Chicago after next game as well

Yup Cam came in and immediately started working w Ryan, shows who he was comfortable communicating with. I know he's learning the terminology etc while Brady is working on his gameplan or whatever. Brady just doesn't seem to know how to utilize the talent he has or the communication skills to work one on one with the players, let alone in game situational play calling.

Running 5-10 more yards while the ball is in the air is splitting hairs with the QB waiting for you to turn around on your comeback route. We don't need Ted Ginn deep, just throw the ball 20-30 yards occasionally

I dunno, this coaching staff picked up so many project/developmental players like they're some kinda football whisperers, yet they haven't even figured out how to do their own jobs yet. Bit off more than they can chew. I dunno if they could be afraid of drafting a QB when they declared they could fix Darnold and get him to buy into this so called "culture" we've yet to see emerge

What's really sad is there's not a team in the NFL that would consider hiring Rhule as a Coordinator on either side of the ball. Plenty of head coach busts that went back to coordinating at a good level, Rhule doesn't even know the game

Cam and CMC had a good game, Rhule is running out of excuses. He basically through Brady under the bus today as his standard snake oil salesman style. Over it

Imagine as a player going to the locker room at half time and the coaching staff just says "Execute the game plan that isn't working!"

So the coaching staff sucks, welcome to college coaches running an NFL team

The consistently horrible 3rd quarter play is a huge red flag 27 games into this coach staffs tenure

Remember Phil Snow saying Dallas ran some thing they didn't see on film? fuging Duh that's what happens and if you can't adjust you shouldn't be in the NFL. I like Snow overall but he has the same issue as Rhule and Brady not having any answers for halftime adjustments if your initial game plan isn't working. You'd think that Dallas game 6-7 weeks ago would have had him come up with a scheme to combat that style of play but nope

Everyone wanting to give Rhule more time, we're not gonna be able to keep all this talent by the time he supposedly figures it out. There's numerous coaches that would take this roster over what they have right now and be in the playoff picture. It's weird they went all in on trades to get a winning roster but still calling the same garbage plays that haven't worked since the Dallas game

Hard to say but Shaq was being a dick in his 2 minute presser today so I guess chemistry on the D is not very good after that game. Maybe they know it was basically a playoff game and blew it? It was a total D meltdown so maybe theres a lot of finger pointing all over the place right now

It's so obvious this staff has no idea how to adjust or play situational football without burning valuable timeouts. Rhule burned like 3 timeouts in a 1 minute stretch yesterday? People wanting to give Rhule more time just aren't seeing the fact that he's not good at the actual football part, he hasn't learned anything in 27 games, not gonna learn anything new next season unless Tepper forces him to get some real NFL guys on his staff to walk him through the basics. Rhule just said Hurney taught him so much about how free agency works, RED FLAG
