Hate to hijack the thread but what does everyone think about Ian? wondering if TE in the draft/FA might be in order. Whoever is the starting TE has some massive shoes to fill.

He is the poster boy for Ron's dog house.  Could not catch and get open better than Olsen and could not block as well as Manhertz.  And he was a rookie--both years.

Every position in the NFL is important but TE is a luxury position for me. Gotta sure up both lines and our secondary before we go spending any picks higher than a 5th rounder at TE unless it’s just a no brainer bargain

Sounds like Rhule and Hurney might see eye to eye in some talent evaluations. Might be interesting to see how Rhule does with developing those players vs the way Ron’s staff did.

 

Also cool that Rhule is coming in with some connections to some of our guys.

Rhule also told Caroline Cann he tried to recruit DJ Moore to Temple but Moore chose Maryland.

Said Rhule "Now, I finally get to coach him."

This kind of excites me.

I was not impressed with our WR coach last year.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
