Technically we had a top 5 defense this year. you still have to have a offense.

Actually B.O.B as OC would be a bad idea. his biggest failures and the reason everything went south with him. he had too much control as a HC (sort of like we have here now). And he really fugues up in the personnel decision aspect which destroyed things. as a coach he was pretty respected. Dude made the playoffs twice with Matt Schwab as his QB. Having him as a OC and taking some control away from Rhule on the personnel side and give that to the people who should be managing that (Fitty and Morgan). This would be a really good thing. Additionally O’Brien has NFL experience and also as a Failed HC doing so the way Rhule is. He can give Matt some pointers where he failed and screwed up.

It’ll definitely be toxic next year for sure. Rhule is coming back next year. There is no way around it. Let’s just hope Tepper forces him to make some major stuff changes with NFL experience when he is bringing him back.

Statement from his Lawyer Also a clip from the earlier in the game

“The Pain was Extreme”

What’s the deal with it? Sunday seemed like a Rhule Ad during the game by the Broadcasting crew. Ian Rapaport was on WFNZ this morning. And quite honestly was a douche to the guys on the Mac Attack because they criticized Rhule. Rapaport strongly defended Rhule, again pointing to his time at Baylor. Saying things like “He most certainly deserves a 3rd year.” also apparently Rhule is a much better NFL HC than Jim Harbaugh. Rapaport then went on to defend Sam Darnold and his play this season prior to the injury. Does Tepper have some of the National Media on his payroll. Because this is bizarre. Never have I seen a HC in any sport suck the way he has so favor get the amount of love as if he is a playoff caliber Coach.

And that right there. is why I think the Iowa Center should be our pick. After we trade down.

I know LT is all the talk. Glaring weakness. Huge importance. haven’t replaced Gross…..still But my Gawd our Interior May be The Worst in the NFL the past 10-20 years.

Some on here are going to be upset because no OT or QB is the pick in rd 1. with only 1 top 100 pick in the top 100. You need to move down. this team still has so many holes to fill. I traded from 6 to 14 and recouped a 2nd. Then down to 17 and gathered a 3rd so….. with the 17th pick The Carolina Panthers select Tyler Linderbaum. Center out of Iowa. LT is the biggest glaring need. But even though the comments about Christensen from Rhule. Rhule has still played him here, and looked pretty decent so far. Meanwhile, the interior OL this season has been historically bad. Pat Elfein spent more time in n the Ground vs the Saints than he did blocking anyone. Additionally, he may become a guy they cut to open cap space. Iowa has produced some good OL, and Linderbaum looks to become the next great one. He is a absolute STUD blocker. He has a wrestling background, actually pinning Bucs probowl OT Tristan Wirfs. He has top tier football IQ for the position which is huge for an OL. The Center is essentially the QB of the OL calling things out making sure everyone is set etc. Some around here forget how Important Ryan Kalil was here. Tyler can become his replacement 46: Henry To’o To’o- Yes OL is the worst in Football, yes we don’t have a QB. But honestly. But there are other holes as well. Jermaine Carter is currently our starting LB and hitting FA. I don’t expect him to resign. Carter hasn’t played all that well, and is part of the reason why we among the leagues worst in Run Defense. To’o To’o Isn’t the biggest athletic freak but is athletic anough to play in this league. He has high Football IQ and plays with a High Motor. Also known as a leader on Alabama’s defense. This guy would be a day 1 impact starter for us, and that’s something you want with this pick. 81. Jeremy Ruckert- yet again, no OL. Ian Thomas is hitting FA. With what we know about Rhule and how he wants to play the game. The way he wants to run the ball. You would expect to see a lot of 2TE sets. Via 2TEs or a TE+Hback which is how SF runs things with Kittle. Ian Thomas lack of Blocking is not good and has hurt us. Ruckert isn’t the dominant freak athlete big stat pass catcher. Nor is he just a dominant run blocker. But he is Solid all around. He knows how to get open. Not a freak but a solid athlete. Soft Hands and a Willing blocker. Ruckert and Tremble would form a dam good duo which would be perfect for the offense that Rhule wants to run. 105. Lecitus Smith- Smith is a former HS TE who has made the transition over to OL. He is a good athlete more the position and a aggressive blocker. He has potential to be a solid starter. Pairing him up beside a High IQ Center like Linderbaum coming into the league together could be a nice pairing 142. Emil Ekiyor- Emil has been a solid starter at Bama this year. He has experience at OG and Center which will provide solid depth while has upside for development.

“Sacks Happen” -John Miller

Per Rhule today

Bengals have an elite QB Panthers have a Poo QB. can’t even compare the 2 situations.

I’d take all bad things be said about the guy. look, it’s nothing personal with him. I still want the team to win, and would be ecstatic if he turned it around. but right now. Nothings points to that remotely coming close to happening. And he continues to dig himself deeper every time he speaks which makes it worse and us angrier.

Oh, he’ll be on the roster. heck, Rhule will start him next week while Deonte Brown will yet again be inactive in a meaningless game.

Imagine being so bad at your job. The. Just saying…well, it happens
