Rhule had a Zoom meeting with him when he was interviewing for the Jets HC job. Matt said he liked how Sam didn't ask football questions and was interested in the culture or whatever Rhule supposedly is good at.

Not good for the Brady going away hopes

He's pretty close besides the rando Joe Brady and Sean Ryan hires. He inherited Moton/Shaq/CMC/Burns. Only Temple pay off has been Reddick and he's not gonna re-sign/we can't afford him after Robby and Darnold's shitty contracts. Rhule wanted full control with the JETS and even they were like nah dude, also give us 3 draft picks for Darnold who you decided you liked after one Zoom meeting

Such a mess, how many games have we abandoned the run? I think we ran 15 times yesterday. So the philosophy has been more like "Throw picks to guys sitting on routes they learned watching film, and get ran over by average RB's"

If Rhule was a manager at Krispy Kreme the staff would give him the eye roll on a constant basis

Sean Ryan? 15 years as an NFL assistant/position coach, actually one of the only guys on the squad that's consistently been on NFL staffs. Not exactly like Brady was technically qualified for the job, just got the media hype because LSU was basically playing with all first round NFL talent at skill positions

The fact that WFT and Dolphins who were basically out of playoff contention came in more motivated than our team is all on the coaching staff. Just one win between the two games would have us back in the wildcards. Ultimately I'd rather this staff get fired than make the playoffs this year. Pretty sure 2019 was at least more enjoyable to watch than this current mess

Yup a full happy stadium on a consistent basis outweighs the financial loss of paying Rhule to go away. If we were horrible last year and steadily improving with a young team it would be one thing, but Rhule has traded/gambled a lot of capital away to try to mask his coaching deficiencies. The Jets were smart enough to not give him full control and then stole 3 draft picks from us for Sam Darnold...That's getting played by one of the worst NFL franchises in the league

Yup, they passed on Slater in the first, numerous O-line options at pick 2 for a WR who was a healthy scratch today, took a long snapper who they benched/IR'd instead of taking Trey Smith in the 6TH ROUND. Gave up all our day 2 picks next year for Darnold/other projects. Talk about poor execution and missed opportunities and DBO's...

And instead of accumulating draft picks to actually rebuild we've traded them away for guys that won't be here in 2 years. Not that this staff has shown any hope of knowing how to develop young players.

We already know there will be zero half time adjustments, and coaches will blame execution in the pressers

Rhule is a moron. I just started watching, why exactly do we have zero timeouts again?

Yeah Sam didn't get the 5th year til during the draft so draft picks+Darnold's 5th year option wiped out like $25mil in one weekend if you're going by having $60mil last March or whenever the league resets

Maybe that was before Darnold got his 5th year option? Add Cam's $6m out of the roll over money plus Henderson's contract and that would be close to that math

I think it's closer to $30mil according to over the cap. Need about 5-6$m for the draft, so $25 mil to pay Cam, Gilmore, Reddick. Even with setting up bonuses on those deals we'd maybe have $10m left for signing dudes like Luvu, Haynes, backup OL etc. It's really not that much and not many contracts to restructure besides Shaq. I guess you could try CMC/Robby/Moton but their deals are just getting started so weird time to restructure.

I think Daviyon Nixon was playing some underrated DT before he got injured, Phil Hoskins still isn't up to speed so you're left with Bravvion-Rex as your only rotational DT

His intermediate passes actually look like they have more touch on them though, he's not sailing balls over guys heads like he used to. Could be a combination of maturity and limitation, but I think he was 70% last week when he was generally 58-60% in the past

These refs oof

Everything you're not suppose to do? Bad hands, bad feet. Christensen gets beat too/doesn't get a good push on the DE but PJ coulda stepped up if there was a couple feet in front of him

Why's Mcdaniels getting all these minutes?

nba bite

Nope, viewed as a backup/developmental swing tackle and maybe guard in a pinch among most. Rhule was the one who said he graded higher as a guard, a position he never played in college and considering his weakness is the bull rush makes zero sense that he should be going against DT's in the middle. Just say you drafted a backup/developmental LT in the 3rd round and let him work on it at the pro level for a year. He looked fine at RT in the preseason as well but they got cute and tried to put Moton at RT for that one game and he got two false starts. Just develop guys at their positions and have Erving/Scott/Daley/Elf be your emergency swing guys. For as much as Rhule loves very average John Miller they just stuck him at RG and forgot about it

Big Lots pretty soon

Seems like teams are making moves over this coming Holiday weekend, Nagy possibly gone in Chicago after next game as well

Yup Cam came in and immediately started working w Ryan, shows who he was comfortable communicating with. I know he's learning the terminology etc while Brady is working on his gameplan or whatever. Brady just doesn't seem to know how to utilize the talent he has or the communication skills to work one on one with the players, let alone in game situational play calling.
