Explain to me how there were no missed snaps and batted down passes in preseason? How many reps does it take to prevent a 4th year vet from forgetting how to play football in a two seek span?

I'm not defending Rhule. Rhule might be the one thing you're finally right about, so congrats. Baker's play was total cheeks in the first half now matter how many excuses you make for him, and training camp reps were not the reason.

I have to agree. If Rhule goes, Fitt should go too. A new GM should pick the new coach. They would both inherit a halfway decent roster, so it wouldn't be a total burndown.

Here's one of them. He got enough reps to look really good in the last preseason game (plus two more weeks worth since.) So you tell me, how many reps does a 4th year vet need to handle a snap and not get multiple passes batted down? You just want to be right about something that can't be quantified. Baker totally shat the bed in the first half. I don't think a few more training camp reps would have helped that. You obviously do, but I would pick something a little less subjective to act smug about if I were you.

For a smaller faster defense that doesn’t match up great with power run, I thought they did a decent job considering they were on the field way too much. What is surprising is how awful the vaunted secondary was when we finally forced them to throw it.

I don’t know what’s correct, but I do know that this is in Fiz’s wheelhouse. I wouldn’t bet on him being wrong.

Playing not to lose gets you .500 Both of them are content being .500 coaches.

McDermott's second year was 6-10. They built a winning team in 3 years and a SB contender in 5.

If Garrett is pals with OBJ, I’m sure he’s one of those that enjoys petty drama. Enjoy Gropey McRubandtug.

Why they put a ball hitch on it, I have no idea, but I knew it was a bad idea.

Yeah, I had high hopes that Bozeman would be the reason we never heard Elflein's name called. Of course, I had hoped never to hear the name P.J. Walker again either.

Yeah, I know what the huddle hive-mind thinks, but has anyone actually seen or reported Bozeman looking significantly better in preseason this year?

I only recall hearing Bozeman being mentioned specifically one time during preseason coverage and it wasn't great. Did I miss something or is the "Bozeman is the second coming of Ryan Kalil" just huddle lore?

Speaking of legends of corners past, I wonder what Josh “Bullet Head” Thomas is up to nowadays.

Who knows, behind our line he might have gotten the Darnold yips or a broken spine.

In before “REPS!!!!!!”

Hopefully this is just Fitts calling and offering them a half a sandwich and a bag of sun chips at Rhule’s behest. If not, we need to do better than aspiring to become the one team in the league worse than us.

Well he does, but he’s butthurt over all the criticism so he does the opposite of the hive complaints. He’s not a good owner, but a master troll.

If anyone else remembers, help me out. On draft night, one of his college teammates commented on Ickey’s demeanor before a game and said something to the effect of, “he doesn’t talk, he doesn’t listen to music, he just stares straight ahead and it’s terrifying” It was a great quote and I can’t find it anywhere, but he seems like the type of guy that will do his best to be ready.

Saying “thank you sir” to whom? Are you one of those that thinks Tepper reads the Huddle and if you state your complaint enough times, he’s going to acknowledge it and act on it? Jesus. It’s worse than I thought. So the Jets would be great if that forgiving New York sports market would be more aggressive in demanding excellence? Anyhow, in summary. I don’t defend Rhule, I just don’t feel the need to shriek about him 200 times a day, and reading it over and over ad nauseam just gets old. Your “know-it-all blowhard” huddle persona is way more tolerable than your current “broken record shrill crybaby” huddle persona. That’s all.

So to you, not whining is cheering. Got it.

I'm not cheering about anything. Just trying to get you crybabies to sack up a little bit. It's obvious that's impossible for you. Noted. Speaking of dodging. You are either dodging or a little bit dense if you don't think a new QB, OL, and OC make a difference.

Team hasn't performed this year. Wait until there's actually something to cry about. New OC, new OL, New QB. Those are 3 pretty important pieces. Even you should be able to figure out that there's a possibility that this year might be different. This is you making poo up. I didn't admit poo. As someone who hasn't defended Rhule, I don't owe you a defense or explanation of anything. Again, I don't think it's unfair. It doesn't bother me that people criticize him. It's the teen-girl whining by the same posters, 200 times a day, ruining every single thread.

I honestly don't care. I know Matt will be fine. Scot was clutching his pearls over the use of the word "hate" so I just pointed out what as what. The whiney tone/redundancy/and predictability has just gotten on my nerves lately, and I don't think I'm alone in that.

In no way am I defending Rhule's performance. Never have, so I don't have to defend poo, chief. I'm just tired of hearing grown men shriek like bitches constantly in a forum that used to be a fun place to get news about my favorite football team. The inflammatory crybaby poo used to only be for troll alts. Now it's gotten to the point that if we made it to the superbowl and lost because of a missed FG from a backup kicker we had to sign because of injury, you would blame it on Rhule's training camp rep frequency.
