Rhule Backpedals on Cam Blame/Comments

[Proudiddy]

This right here is why Tepper needs to end this clown show, TODAY.  I have watched almost every post game presser and he has never once hesitated to say, "I can't comment on that until I watch the tape," except when it comes to Cam.  Sheena also asked Cam directly yesterday after the game his thoughts about Rhule's comments and essentially throwing him under the bus, and Cam replied that he wasn't going to make any comment up there out of emotion following a tough loss because no good could come of it.  He owned his mistakes, as usual, and moved on.  And now you have Fatt Fhule coming back the day after, as if it was some noble gesture, admitting he was 100% wrong on blaming Cam for that play yesterday.  It was a horrible fuging call to begin with, but Fhule didn't want to blame his high school sweetheart for making it in the first place, so he blamed Cam.  When he explained it yesterday, I felt like the explanation was bullshit because he said we only had the bubble in there if there was a blitzer, but the blitzer was picked up so it shouldn't have been thrown - newsflash!   I watched the game yesterday, and I'm not a coach, and can tell you more often than not, the "blitzer" wasn't picked up.  Rhule is a fuging joke.  And when you constantly throw your leaders under the bus only to come back and say after watching it you were wrong, I can't possibly imagine how you hold any fuging weight in the locker room.  The damage was done with the first ill-informed dumbass fuging statement, where he should have kept his fuging mouth shut and deferred to comment until he could look at the play - which is his usual M.O.

I just can't believe this guy is still here and how fuging dysfunctional this team is right now.  He is a joke and he has to fuging go.  Him and all his merry band of college slapdicks.

Honestly, the more telling response to me came yesterday when Newton was asked what's wrong with the passing game.

His answer? "I don't know".

I'm not sure I buy that at all, but it's not hard to imagine that he might have to refrain from saying what he's actually thinking.

Cam absolutely knows, or at least has insight into what could help it improve. He's a smart player and this is evidenced even more by this response.

I wonder what the locker room thinks of Rhule and his list of BS

• Coddling Darnold
• Brady Christensen 1 inch arm length BS/Deonte Brown "needs to be in better shape" but at the same time trotting Erving, Daley, Elflein, and Miller out there every week
• Blaming the defense when the offense stalled
• Always protecting his Temple/Baylor boys
• Releasing players after praising them in the media

100% Scot.  I had also thought about including the comments Zylstra made in his presser yesterday when asked about what was wrong with the offense.  At one point, when asked directly about why we can't get anything going deep downfield, he specifically stated that their offense is structured to attack underneath, get the ball out quickly to their playmakers and let them make something happen after the catch, run RPOs, etc, and once we get all of that going, it will open up everything else.  While in theory that sounds great, it is exactly what is wrong with our offense and is the same exact garbage that we were running that got Brady fired.  The issue is, those things "never get going," but we still end up running it, even when we shouldn't - like throwing 2 yard drags on 3rd and 10 or 4th and 10.  This staff just doesn't get it, AT ALL.  Teams know that's what we're doing and they take it away and it's like the staff has no counter or adjustment, ever, so we just keep running the same ineffective bullshit and nothing changes.

And Cam's response does sound like he doesn't want to throw anyone else under the bus.  The more I hear, the more dysfunctional and broken this whole team seems to be under this staff.  It is crazy that they're still here, all things considered.

There's no way he still had the locker room's ear at this point.  The players all know the poo they're stuck in right now.

With each passing Sunday I am more and more perplexed as to why he hasn’t hasn’t been fired. Perhaps tepper wants to squeeze a few more pennies out of the home fans for the final game in BOA this Sunday. If he doesn’t do it after we lose to Tampa I am very worried that this clown gets a third year.

I think coupled with the "move some furniture" comment from last week, Cam absolutely knows but also knows it would just create a bigger circus to deal with if he did say anything.

Goes back to Cam post game answer.  Cam also made Rhule look bad there imo.  Talked about how he wasn’t going to spout off irrational answers or something like that right after a game.   That’s what Rhule did.   Why he needs to watch the film.

Zylstra basically described a West Coast Offense (with a few modifications).

And while WCO 101 might be valuable info, it doesn't exactly answer the question.

Throw in also that the best West Coast type attacks include at least occasional deep passes.

[Cookie Lyon]

Exactly. Rhule needs to be fired ASAP. Every damn Sunday, he blames everything on Cam, now he wants to backtrack. It’s too late now.

Yeah, and paired with Rhule's response to a similar question where he essentially bragged about our two deep attempts and essentially, again, blamed Cam for missing both even though he was under duress both times, and it just further cements how clueless this staff is.

[mav1234]

Wheels have completely come off. Rhule is beyond incompetent.

[onmyown]

You guys get mad over dumb poo. He says he needs to watch tape and he’s made fun of. Blames cam and you’re butthurt. Watches tape and corrects himself and stans still butthurt. Try to compare cam to sam but the same poo was going on with Sam including being benched. This ineptness isn’t all about cam good grief. This is why so many find stabs annoying. 

Fact is there isn’t enough credit given to the real reason he should be fired and that’s because he’s a shitty coach who can’t win or progress, his methods suck. The fact he stupidly calls out players is just the details and cherry on top of being a shitty coach.
