Alex Erickson. Professional punt fielder.

I know we still have time to see with Henderson, but he has not looked good all year. Opposing teams go after him.

Was saying the same thing. That was a good throw. Snead ran it like he wasn't expecting it. Pathetic.

Its just like the offense runs the most basic of routes and concepts, and they never have a counter for what a defense is showing that works. Ever.

Good pass. Too bad Snead looked like he wasn't expecting it.

Nah, I believe he is on pace for career highs... at least I know he is with sacks. The issue is, if he finished the majority of the plays he's in position to make, he would be DPOY with historic, record-breaking-type numbers. That's what is so frustrating.

Like I said, I love him, but agreed... in terms of picking up a fumble, it doesn't get much easier than the opportunity he was just presented with... no one near him, moving directly towards it where it landed, and he still completely ran by it. Smh...

I love Brian Burns, but he would have LT-level numbers if he could finish just half the plays he whiffs on. It's ridiculous.

Worst screen game in the NFL.

Michael Jordan is back starting.

Because this is truly a gladiator sport. I know they are paid well for it, but it doesn't make it any less risky, and they're out there doing it under the weight of knowing their efforts will probably be wasted by poor coaching and they'll ultimately lose no matter what they do or how well they play. It sucks.

Please let a story come out that Zane was injured during an exchange with Rhule in pregame warm-ups that resulted in Rhule kicking him.

I just feel so bad for our guys having to go out there and play for this piss ass coaching staff at this point.

TBH, it sucks bc Zane was having such a good year, but I don't think we'll be on their side of the field very often for it to matter.

I'm sure a lot of these guys have done it back in HS and such and prolly are pretty good at it practicing even now. But doing it in a game is different, and professional kickers practice it every day for hours... I just can't imagine us even trying it unless its from like 20 yards and in, and I doubt even then.

Welp, gonna be hard not to do that "embarrass us" part when our kicker had a potentially season-ending non-contact injury in pregame warm-ups while fuging KICKING. We just can't win.

Schefter said Lachlan Edwards, Reggie Bonnafon, and other may have a shot at kicking today but we'll probably end up going for two. He made no mention of kickoffs, but I imagine Edwards will be doing that as well, and I also imagine it will be a complete trainwreck. We just can't win. The one consistent bright spot we had all year outside of maybe Reddick and DJ and he gets injured in pregame wampups.

You sir, better be glad you don't bag groceries for a living, or he'd really let you have it!

But the moves he's made in terms of value outside of the ones we know Rhule dictated have been incredible. Darnold was all Rhule, Fitt just did what he had to do to get Rhule's guy. Outside of Darnold, the moves he made in the draft, the guys he drafted, and the other trades outside of maybe Henderson, which still has a chance to be a win for us, have been incredible. Rhule is the fuging poo stain that is ruining all of it. Fitt has a great eye for talent, along with the other personnel guys we brought in. He knows value. And he seems to have good relationships built and established with other FOs across the league, which is another invaluable asset to have in your FO. It's Rhule being the "final word" on acquisitions that is fuging us royally. It is Rhule and Rhule alone who is seeking out Teddy, Sam, Cam Erving, etc. I'm convinced Fitterer's mad genius will truly show once we get a fuging professional level coach in here who doesn't want to trade the farm for best-case game managers who consistently grade out in the bottom third of the league starters at their position - all because they had a friendly exchange and a good conversation a couple years back.

Maybe he wasn't "forced" per se, but I definitely think he was nudged quite a bit. Sheena Quick all but said it was Tepper's decision, so idk... and again, just reading the tea leaves in front of us now in how he is managing the situation with Cam and things he is saying, it definitely seems like he isn't embracing him here.

Icy. Cam is completely professional and a great teammate from all we've heard and seen from both here and NE. But, Rhule is clearly not a fan. I do believe Cam was forced onto the team by Tepper and although Rhule acts publicly supportive, he doesn't like having him on the roster. It's a reminder of his own failures and mistakes. I also feel as a result of those underlying feelings, he is setting Cam up to fail in many ways. I mentioned it Sunday, iirc, but he literally left Darnold in the game with a broken shoulder to throw 3 picks and have like 2 fumbles against NE, and left him in the entire game against NYG despite having not gained a single first down for the entirety of the game - but he pulls the "2 QB system" once we get Cam on the roster... which again, is asinine, because despite all of the offensive struggles, Cam has still been the most productive and the best QB we've played for 2 years. I also just saw two quotes this morning that further cement he is an asshole and his relationship with Cam is horrible to non-existent - he told reporters that he doesn't prefer the two-QB system, but "it's where we are" currently or something like that. Then PJ was even asked about it in a presser and he said he didn't like it (even though he's the guy that has the most to gain from it), because neither guy can get into a rhythm and defenses are going to show them different things, so its not beneficial to either guy. Now pair that with him activating Sam from IR, and that tells you all you need to know. He's a smug, arrogant, know-it-all asshole who sees Cam as a threat to his football mastermind identity. He's a fuging imbecile of the highest order.

Per Schefter. If they can do it, why can't we?

Cam should've just fell on the ball and lived to play another down. Simple. Oh... wait...

Yikes
