it's honestly crazy how much the coaches and front office has missed/fugged up in one off season. They have seriously done years of damage. Get ready for the long haul ladies and gents

Tepper when thinking about Rhule

Lol someone literally made a thread after last week that they were worried Rhule would get too cute with the QBs and here we are. Feels like a decision that will make or break him

I find it funny that people keep referring to this as a tackle. It looked more like a Kurt Angle Ankle Lock

For anyone that was worried before the season started that Joe would be lured away with a head coach position... I don't think you need to worry anymore

Everywhere Rhule has been he has produced a far better defense than offense. In college I think I looked it up before, but in 7 years he produced a top 25 defense 4 out of 7 years. He produced a top 25 offense... never. 

Oh right. I must have had it the other way around. I wish we would get an offensive minded head coach for once, feels like we haven't had someone that truly knows how to run an offence for well over a decade

Wasn't Rhule known as more of an offensive coach? Surely he should be taking over in some capacity after 3 weeks of complete mediocrity. 

Darnold has been a disappointment the last few weeks, but apart from a strong WR room he doesn't really have the support that was touted earlier in the year. The offensive woes are due to poor coaching and poor roster management in neglecting the OL so badly.

I get the feeling that Rhule is one of those guys who thinks he is way smarter than he actually is.

My biggest takeaway from the last two weeks is that Greg Olsen is a really good commentator and I wish he'd commentate all our games.

One thing to keep in mind, if we don't end up keeping Gilmore and he signs somewhere else, we're most likely going to get a comp pick for it. 

I didn't think of that. Depending on our signings, you'd think he'd generate at least a 6th round comp pick for us.

Fitterer out there playing 4d chess

I felt like Gettleman did a really good job getting us out of cap hell and cleaning up the mess from Hurndog V1. He was good at finding cheap bandaids in free agency, but I believe he fell over once we had a chance to be competitive and didn't know how to take the roster from that rebuild stage.

Hurney was well liked by the roster but suuuuccckkkedd big time at cap management. I think he wanted to make every player on the team the highest paid at their position lol

Fitterer's first impression has been very strong. He showed no fear in trading (without getting fleeced), used free agency reasonably well and I really liked the draft. I think the big thing with have is a GM and a coach that are working in tandem. It always felt a bit like Ron and Hurney/Gettleman were never 100% in agreement. The jury is still out on Fitterer but I like what I've seen so far

I think it is, particularly the defence. My main concern is the offencer's ability to convert to points. Felt like the last couple of weeks we have left points on the field

You don't know what 71 one is?  It's 69 with 2 fingers up her butt.

I tried a 72 once...I still have teeth marks.

I'd imagine he'd be in the 50/50 column for Rhule and will largely come down to many how players in other positions he wants to keep.

Ideally we will send Thomas out for the next two preseason games against 3rd string opponents and get him to put up so big numbers and then trade him

It's weird that any team would trade for Little.  Even a 7th.  If he can't cut it on this roster, how is he going to make it anywhere else?

Yeah, you'd have to think they had him high on their draft board or something and think they can get something out of him

Not gonna lie, this brought out feelings in me. Great write-up!

The predictions got me hot and heavy

Bridgewater had 11 interceptions but had seven potential picks that were dropped or broken up, and none came in a late-game situation. 

I think this summarises the problem with Teddy. Even when the game is on the line he will look for a checkdown instead of throwing up a 50/50 ball. He's a game manager that is only really effective if his team is in front. Rhule could have implemented as many 2 minute drills as Teddy would like but Teddy would still want to play it safe in those situations

It's crazy how divisive the Tommy Tremble pick is. I can't wait until he leads the way for McCaffrey to have a career season

I feel like with the draft and UDFA every player we got has a high ceiling. Moore sounds like someone who just needs a couple of negatives coached out of his game to become at least a solid starter in the league

I kind of wish we were accumulating picks for next year
