Rhule on QB struggles yesterday

In the course of your career experience, you've probably met one or two management types who can randomly spout off some really smart sounding statements.

Yet they don't seem to be terribly successful, and you find yourself wondering why.

The reason? While they might sound smart, but they might not really be smart.

They know the right things to say and all, but in their mind they haven't actually put it all together.

That's the impression I get of Matt Rhule.

When is he going to start spouting off these smart sounding statements? Because all I've heard and seen is a bunch of dumbassery.

Fair point 😆

In all seriousness, Rhule is capable of saying things that sorta kinda make sense in his pressers. And heaven knows he can give a motivational speech.

Having good players, giving rousing speeches and employing assistants who take care of the true legwork is enough to be successful at the mid-tier college level.

In the NFL? Not so much 😕

And yet again, an utterly awful way of saying something. If you HAVE to say something then say things are gelling, say the team is continuing to practice and sync up, but don't say something like this. It's just flat out dumb and he does it time after time after time.

this isnt me defending rhule, this is me calling out these media types for not adding context. If you listen to the presser, he is complementing Baker and how he picked up the offense in less than 40 days....

If that's the case then yeah, Ellis is doing a disservice by framing a quote like that. I posted my thought but if your context is correct, that does change the frame.

You missed the point where he crated a fake competition that was settled at the trade and wasted a big portion of that time frame much like he did with Ickey. That is the context here. 

Vet QB learning basics of the playbook? Ok. Maybe scheme a run first game to help them out, especially since they are known for needing it. Or start the game with help for the rookie at LT going agaisnt one of the best DEs. Maybe throwing some playaction that the QB they traded for has a positive history with. Just some more context being discussed

Baker didnt struggle yesterday due to a playbook though... he struggled bc the Browns knew to stand up at the line, and we couldnt stop Garrett. We also had 2 costly penalties that killed drives. 

The competiton didnt effect whether Baker was here for 40 days or 1 day. Baker has been here since he was traded for.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
