Matt Rhule: An Education on Our New HC


SetfreexX

Recommended Posts

Gents feel free to drop educational links, as many I am intrigued by this hire, I've wanted an offensive minded coach for sooooooo long to attempt to maximize our potential. I'm not a huge college guy but my thumb is on it, let's help educate each other on the addition.

That said, why Rhule embraced the RPO game was because of the following reasons:

  • To protect the run game
  • To exploit the defense (more on this later*)
  • To put defenders in conflict
  • To spread the ball around
  • To negate defensive pursuit

The Guy has coached on a NFL staff so he knows how the NFL works vs guys like Dabo and Lincoln Riley or Even Urban Myer.  They know College football, they know how to recruit which is 60% is college  football but 0% in the pros

Though Rhule has come to grips with the RPO game, he deploys it only situationally. “The hard part of the RPO is not the whats, it’s the when,” he said. Baylor runs RPO in the following situations:

  • Base downs
  • 2nd and long
  • 3rd and 3-6
  • Red zone
  • Four-down territory

Why not on 2nd-and-short? It’s simple: Rhule loves the quarterback sneak there. “We changed our season by just going QB sneak,” he said. “We were 14-of-14, including two plays of over 15 yards. 2nd and 1-2 is direct run, preferably QB sneak.”

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
