We were the top team in points allowed in the bottom 1/3 of the NFL or last team in the 2/3 of the NFL. We also gave up terrible field position. The top 10 D does not stand, that is fair given what we both said. It could be soon but the entire point of a defense is to stop the other team from scoring, not to allow less yards at the end of the day even if the stat really does matter in the total evaluation. There are some big positives on the D but saying it was a top 10 D is very misleading. That is fair not BS or hope or hype. Nothing I said is an wrong or even really negative unless that naritive this was a top 10 D really matters to you for some reason. Some good, some bad and we saw some improvements and some not improvements (Chinn at FS comes to mind). We are used to having good to great Ds and 2021 wasn't comparable to our top D even with the upside it showed throughout the year. Lol Hurney helped build an all D draft that is a huge chunk of this D by the way...and I despise Hurney. So my point stands and you are trying to deflect to Hurney about how this crew did last year after drafting D in the 1st and a new GM...So still not Hurney's fault in 2021 and still not a top 10 D unless you are talking in yards allowed.

Either way, neither would make a good long-term candidate. I don't care, I just want it to happen so we can start talking about a new HC that is too good to be forced to work for Rhule and his mouth.

Cough cough top 5 pick cough cough Could be Wilks

28? Check out Charles Woodson's career

They both ran with the good WRs, they just had a safety over top and they were under. Without that safety and the other team can just make it a speed thing.

He was like Norman (his one year), zone CB that locked up good WRs. Kind of looked like man but he just didn't have the speed for true man play. Was true for both when their new teams went the other way to hard. He is still only 28. If you play heavy zone he is a great CB to have.

I thought he was a strong zone CB? Maybe I am completely getting that wrong. Looked it up and it said he was strong in zone schemes and bad in man. Giants stuff

O - QB play, CMC's health & building the O around his past production and then TEs. D - Run Stopping, Pass rush and too many DBs on the field sometimes (please tell me they won't be playing Chinn at FS again). Anything could change but I expect to see this at the start of the year.

IDK, zone CB play is something I don't miss. Maybe a switch to safety? I would guess someone would pay him more than our needs allow. Solid player and guy, dependable if you don't ask the world of him.

It's just country music from another country...

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2021/opp.htm Says 21 for 2021. I get your point but we were not a top 10 D by the end of the year. Snow is a solid DC for sure. A little DB crazed but solid unit. Plus add in the failed 2019 D switch that basically left our D to be rebuilt from ashes in 2020.

I think Sam, PJ or whatever warm body for the first 6 weeks is reasonable to expect with a 3rd round QB. If Corral can beat that timeline then great. Maybe some spot duty before then. Add in the Rhule effect and anything could happen. I think if it is looking bad at week 8 and Corral isn't playing for good or bad then it's time to finally fire Matt Rhule and let someone else interim the rest of the year.

Sounds like country to me...

That nickname is awful. Is this really a thing?

Hope is great but Sam is a very easy test to pass. It's like giving a curve to the kid. It's that easy.

No thanks. It's not like they don't have coaches to do this job. Just play Sam and coach the rookie up. It would be a nice luxury but isn't a necessity. And do you really want to see Corral playing like RG III? There is a big reason his career was so short. Maybe Wilson's? IDK but not RG III

Yay! No idea this was a thing in this deal but can't say I am surprised. Good find.

So much money wasted. Swept under the rug or was anyone tagged with that?

But that process lol

They all stunk last year. I just wouldn't try and prop up Rhule unless you want to use Urban. That was the one coach that was actually worse than Rhule. Hell, flip it and ask yourself if Brady was working for Reid would he have improved? Maybe. That also says a lot about that situation...

My limited understanding is that the county may step in and do what Rock Hill couldn't or wouldn't do to make it happen...they just have to beg and renegotiate with Tepper. Maybe this is a little in motion and good faith in those discussions? IDK, trying to make sense of governments is a path to insanity from what I have seen.

Didn't they already pull the project? And Rock Hill is moving forward with the interchange? Wow, never done business in SC but it sounds wild as hell lol.

I absolutely agree with that but it only supports what I said about Rhule and his other people. That was what made Rhule hire outside of his Baylor flunkies. That is on Rhule, just like Rhule is on Tepper for being clueless. I said I liked his upside and he was way overpromoted. I can't say anything that positive about Rhule. I really don't know how else to say about it.
