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

Pretty sure a Pederson or whoever would go with Bears/Broncos/Raiders/Vikings/even Jaguars over us this offseason. Might as well tie Rhule and Sam to each other and let em stink it up another year, no more excuses or scapegoats

Yeah I think Doug Pederson could do it but he's probably gonna jump right back into a head coaching job in Jacksonville or Denver at this point. Not a great year for us to contend for a legit coach.

Yup this team only had 9 picks this year, 2 of which were Gilmore and the coaching staff can't take credit for him just coming in and freelancing. That is bottom 5 in INT's

Not even the worst talent wise besides the O-line, just lost

Best case scenario is Tepper forces the hire of an actual NFL quality OC who in the back of their mind knows Rhule might get let go halfway through the season and this is their one shot at a future head coaching job. If Rhule picks up on that vibe he may actually say fug it and bounce back to college

Yup 9 interceptions on the year, 2 of those from Gilmore who required zero coaching for his. That puts us in the bottom 5. Between that and Dallas showing everyone you can straight up run all over us we got exposed pretty early on.

I know it's not completely relevant but we sure did go from a top 10 fantasy D to ranking around 25 since the bye week

If there was an actual human editor involved wouldn't they have fixed "fans were even chanting that a Charlotte Hornets game"? I think the theory he uses some lazy speech to text app is possible, especially with his accent and delivery

So he changed the lie but still didn't bother to correct the actual grammatical error? I really don't get how he's survived through like 500 ESPN layoffs

This staff sucks. Robinson already looked ready to go in the preseason games. They cut him, put him on the practice squad etc and it's a situation where he looks good because they finally actually let him play. Should have been in Chinns role all year and Chinn should have been up beside Shaq and Luvu. I feel like they've been waiting to make these obvious moves until after the season so they can claim their coaching over the offseason as the reason for any potential improving when in reality they're just making bad evaluations

No one wants a Darnold jersey? I wouldn't be surprised if CMC is asking to go to the Chargers or Broncos, pretty much the only attractive options for him that have the cap space

With the contract and the injury history what's he worth? A 2nd from maybe the Chargers, they're pretty much the only young playoff caliber team with cap space.

Was just thinking that. Same name, trash writing. I'd imagine the NFL teams each having a beat reporter would stick around longer than some other sports. Nascar, certain college sports, stuff like that will probably be stripped down to regional coverage. 430 beat reporters is a lot

Probably Gilmore and Reddick are the more obvious FA guys that will be interesting to see what they decide to do. Luvu will be interesting because I think he'll probably get decent offers from other teams. Pretty much everyone else is under contract/rookies/or jags

I mean he signed a 3 year Hurney contract, then Rhule/Fitt cut him before this past draft even happened. He owes nada to Rhule. It is surprising since he's usually super optimistic, I imagine there's quite a few guys feeling like they're wasting their prime years in this failed experiment

I highly doubt they're used to anyone paying attention to their press conferences coming from Baylor/Temple. Rhule is the worst at it, whether it's completely lying or just wording things in a super cringe-worthy way

Its the Rhule culture, they take all the credit when good, none of the blame/tons of excuses when bad. Has rubbed off on the players too according to those post game pressers

Yeah that would be best case scenario if Rhule is around, but would he even want to return in that situation knowing the writing is on the wall? That scenario basically reduces him to an overweight cheerleader who doesn't know how to manage time outs, a far cry from the initial goal of him being some genius program builder who brought in his whole crew to turn another bad team around.

Couldn't even pick a long snapper that could make it through preseason, he liked him for being "just like a regular guy"

It is really unfortunate we didn't get to see more of BC and Deonte Brown, we dunno what we already have. If we take best LT available i'm not convinced BC is a guard, if we move back and can grab like an Ikem around 10-15, guard in rnd 2 then you have some flexibility and may have everything figured out and just pray Elf looks better with competent guards around him. I like linderbaum but I think he'd struggle playing as a rookie in between Jordan/Miller
