Camp Confidential pt.2 Tomorrow

[TheCasillas]

going to enjoy this one. Hypeseason. 

[poundaway]

Oooh I want to see that one.

[TheCasillas]

It’s time.

 

 

[TheCasillas]

Shorter than the first one by a big margin. Mainly focuses on baker, Ickey, and the defense.

 

need kickoff to be here now.

First five seconds of the video, Matt Rhule to the team after the Buffalo game: "Run the ball and stop the run"

That is Matt Rhule's football core belief. 

@poundawayIt's this kind of stuff that makes me think he isn't lying about the run focus. 

[Panthering]

That was good, now can we get to week 1?

I'm wondering how this is going to play out.

McAdoo was pass focused in NY.  They didn't have CMC level talent there though. 

Preseason was tilted pass, but CMC wasn't on the field.  We just added another WR to what looked like a crowded WR room.

As I think about this, Shenault looks like a hybrid player though.  He has lined up in the backfield.   We were looking at Mims though who isn't like that. 

Hard to tell.  I'd suspect the Browns are guessing too.

I didn't take it that way at all. The whole quote was: "Run the ball, stop the run, hand placement, catching balls. It's all of the smallest details."

Enjoyed seeing Ickeys family. I’m really hoping he becomes the elite LT we’ve been yearning for since Gross

A lot of people don’t like the “run the ball, stop the run” aspect of Rhule, but I don’t get it. 

 

He’s not saying “run the ball and who cares about being good in the air.”

 

Controlling the game/clock is done through the run. Wearing teams down and keeping their offense off the field wins games. 
 

And we will run the ball better with competent QB play and an upgraded line. 
 

Making Rhule out to have “old thinking” in this regard is silly, and just a reach to hate on Rhule. Maybe that’s because he has worked to fix things that were topics of hate before (o-line, QB, OC, GM duties etc).

Is that Buffalo does? Is that what KC does? Is that what LAR does? I don't think so.  

I'm just worried Rhule is still in the Foxball mindset. I'd really love to see or hear something from him that makes me think otherwise.

We don’t have the qb to be a pass heavy team.

I'm hoping Baker proves we do. Either that or he needs to be the Alex Smith to our eventual Pat Mahomes.
