Seriously, why sign Bozeman at all if they plan to make him ride the bench.  Could have used that money elsewhere and develop a rookie for backup center. 

Media even has him doing all these charity events like he's the man. Elf probably just sitting around his apartment playing video games

I remember all the rejoicing when we signed Bozeman and declared Center solved. Now we treat him like the last kid picked to play dodgeball. Very bizarre management with our team.

OK, that explains his problem to start the game last Sunday.  Get this man to an optometrist.  He clearly can't see the field when our D is on it.

He just needs platform shoes.

The Athletic ranked Bozeman No. 28 overall among pending free agents and No. 2 among centers behind Brian Allen of the Los Angeles Rams. ESPN ranked Bozeman No. 31 overall and No. 2 among centers behind Ryan Jensen of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Pro Football Focus ranked Bozeman 11th among NFL centers and No. 5 among centers in pass blocking. ESPN listed Bozeman No. 2 among centers in pass block win rate, which measures whether a lineman can sustain his block for 2.5 seconds or longer.

The way I understand it is… Bozeman had an injury and hasn’t been 100%. Pat elf, in Rhules mind, hasn’t been playing terribly enough for him to rush Bozeman before he is 100%. Not sure if Rhule is putting the fumbled snaps mainly on Baker, or the little time they’ve spent building chemistry (Rhules own fault). Regardless, idk if there has been much info put out on Bozeman and a lingering injury but thats how i see it and I expect Bozeman to be ready and starting week 3. If not then i rambled off for no reason in somewhat support for Rhule but not really because i have loudly shown hate for Rhule and i dislike Pat Elf wearing Carolina blue for sure.

Wasn't aware of this Baker quote

WTF does Elflien have on Rhule?!?

Looking at how the OL situation was handled last year - he probably wouldn't have got to play & his career likely would've been ruined. Shout out to trading down 3 times in R2. Also, shout out to not taking a shot on 226 at 222. Had 3 of them, you take chances like that there. I don't think anybody over there - scouts included - know how to properly evaluate OL talent.

It is fuging mind boggling.  He should be fired for this decision alone.  As I said elsewhere before. The dude started for YEARS on one of the best OLs in football, then comes here and can't take the job from a guy we signed last year that couldn't even win a job to start then?  But all of a sudden, now Elf is better than Boze?  It's fuging bullshit man.  No way those fumbled snaps happen with Boze.  They just don't.

And then we sign Boze and bench him for WHAT???  What's the end game there?  And it's a 1 year fuging deal.  Inevitably, when Rhule finally puts Boze in, because Elf is costing us games, like he did last game with the botched snap in the 4th, and stalling the offense the same way in the 1st, what would make Boze want to stay here after dealing with this poo?  I wouldn't.  

And again, it's the same exact bullshit Rhule always does.  "Lemme show them how much smarter I am than them!"  He starts Elf for way too long, costing us multiple games, then finally concedes to the media, "Yup, I really should've given a Boze a shot earlier, but injuries blah blah blah," then Boze gets in with the line already having issues, then it take weeks to develop comfort and chemistry, and by then we're 3 and fuging 10, IF THAT.  This is absolute fuging insanity.  The fact Tepper is just sitting back watching this poo go on is infuriating.  The dude is Ten and Twentyfugingfour!?!?!?  What the fug are we waiting on???????!?!??!?!?

Man I'm telling you, for all the foul poo all the other owners have done and said, including sexual assault, racism, sexism, etc., I really wish they would've left JR the fug alone, because Tepper is the worst fuging thing to ever happen to this franchise's day to day operations and functionality, and had it not been for Rae Carruth, he would be the worst fuging thing ever, period.  fuging idiot.

...thing that worries me about Mayfield is he misses route developments .... OBJ bitched about this...but hes a bitch.... Does he not see these open receivers because the line is allowing too much pressure on him...he has all the tools physically but his height is a detriment. maybe a deeper drop could alleviate that... but thats on McAdouche to figure out...

More than one person has stated that Elflein isn't as bad as the fans think he is. And as long as he's playing center, that's probably true.

The problem is that he also isn't as good as Matt Rhule seems to think he is.

All of the footage I watched from the All-22 Elfein had a very good game outside of his botched snaps. TBD if it was him or Baker. I couldnt find a play where Elf struggled on Sunday.

I've had a busier week than I was expecting so I haven't reviewed All 22 yet.

Still hoping to but my sister in law has been having some health issues and she needs Lady Cowboy Fan and me to help take her to doctors and stuff.

Also got grandson's soccer practice coming up. Believe it or not, I'm trying to help coach him.

(what I know about soccer wouldn't fill a Post-It note)
