Rhule on practice reps

Recommended Posts

The whole Corral/developing the QB of the future is one thing.

The splitting reps between Baker and Sam and mixing up OL combinations when your seat is supposedly hot is the real head scratcher. It’s why I don’t think his seat is as hot as some think

Here’s a guy many think has to win this year and he’s just pissing away reps on Darnold, Elflein and Michael Jordan… smh

Rhule values these joint practice scrimmage reps just as much if not more than preseason game reps. If he’s still wasting reps this week on Darnold I might lose it

Find your favorite drug because I won't doubt that Rhule will give Darnold more of the Reps than Mayfield and if he gives Mayfield any Reps it will be with the 2nd team O-line to give the illusion that Darnold is outplaying Mayfield.

and in the process trick himself and actually start Sam week 1

That assumes that he isn't convinced he needs more than one starting qb this year. How many did we use last year-3. Things that burn you recently tends to resonate more than in the past and you work hard to change it so it doesn't happen again.. Hence why he is working so hard to develop both of then.  Maybe he is simply hedging his bets given half of the teams last year had more than 1 starting qb during the season.

I think at this point, if you still have faith in Rhule and his ability to evaluate players then you are a sheep or you just get your jollies off by being a troll.

It goes all the way back to Baylor. During Rhule’s first year at Baylor it took him nine weeks to figure out that Charlie Brewer was the best QB on his roster. Anu Solomon (transfer from Arizona) was the day one stater that Rhule trotted out there in Baylor’s loss to Liberty. The second week rolled around and once again, Rhule trotted Solomon out there, Baylor lost to UTSA. By the third week, Solomon had medically withdrawn from Baylor, Rhule trotted out Zach Smith in a loss to Duke. Smith would go on to start week four and five. Brewer finally saw action in week six but he would continue to split in-game reps with Smith until week nine. Brewer finally received all the reps in week nine against Kansas, Brewer led Baylor to their only win that year.

In Rhule’s second year, he would continue to split reps, this time between Brewer and Jalan McClendon.

In Rhule’s final year at Baylor, he once again started the season by splitting reps at the QB position. Both Charlie Brewer and Gerry Bohanon would split reps for the first few weeks. Brewer eventually won the job and took Baylor to the Big XII Championship.

All this to say, it took Rhule three years to finally settle on the guy who was responsible for the one good season that he had in college. Funny enough, Brewer is now trying to become the heir to Malik Willis at Liberty.

As for Rhule, the guy simply cannot evaluate talent.

That’s college talk.  If you have 2 starting QBs then you got none. 

Baker has missed 3 NFL games in 4 years because of injury.   And his injury was to his non throwing shoulder. 

Part of the reason we played 3 starters last year is Tepper had to bring in Cam to stop the booing that was going on in BOA at the midseason mark.  PJ didn’t get hurt.  He was available to do the job Rhule had him rostered to do.

Something tells me Rhule's NFL performance is gonna make it tougher for college coaches to get pro jobs.

Probably for a while, but you would think they would have learned by watching Steve Spurrier, Nick Saban, and Greg Schiano.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Jimmy Johnson the last College Coach to make the jump with no previous significant NFL experience?

Look everyone knows that Baker is the man who was brought in to start. Rhule does too. So there is no other reason to work both unless you think you will need both. Baker getting the first nod was the end of the competition.

Corral isn't likely to make any impact this season. So Rhule seems to be okay with the idea of making Corral "earning" his reps.

The safest takeaway is this is just further confirmation of what we already knew:

Rhule doesn't value rookies.

Rhule doesn't value people who aren't "his guys."

I bet you he cuts Corral in 3 weeks, and Ekwonu starts 0 games this year. Honestly, I don't think any rookie will start a single game. Ekwonu likely gets scratched for the first half of the season.

Did Kingsbury have pro experience?

I'd have to look it up.

    • I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.  
    • I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
    • The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
