Respect to Rhule for proving everyone wrong and not targeting his old players


GOAT

Recommended Posts

First: It's oddly funny, even if expected, that some of you just go way out of the way not to give Hurney any credit!

Secondly: Unless you just thought Rhule was an abject idiot, there's no way you actually believed he would undermine the greater effort here by targeting his players to the detriment of the franchise's ultimate goal of building a consistent winner. That whole narrative was/is preposterous!

You know Hurney is the GM right?

The people here are convinced Hurney can do no right and is also somehow responsible for everything bad and nothing that is good so good luck with that

Yea it doesn’t make any sense you get the best player possible not someone you like because of ties that’s not a winning formula in the nfl Rhule is trying to win not be buddy buddy with his old players.

Yep.  Rhule brought in guys on offense that had ties to him and Joe Brady in this first year to help get their offensive system implemented faster (which is prescient now with this pandemic), but long term Rhule was not going to let his perceived loyalty to his college guys trump building the best pro team.

I have no idea how it's going to work out this year, but I am pleased to see with the draft that there has been at least a discernible plan.

Bring in guys that know the system on offense (including Bridgewater) and draft athletes on defense to help a long-term rebuild there.

This feels a lot like what Pete Carroll did when he first got to the Seahawks.  Of course, we will need to draft (or luck into) a franchise QB like they did with Russell Wilson to ultimately get back to the Super Bowl.

    • Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.               
    • I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is. 
    • His wife makes great meatballs though. To be fair, he didn't hire himself here. He dazzled and bamboozled them with what they wanted to hear. He was going to be an innovative, program-builder, culture-installing football genius. They ate it up like those fabulous meatballs.
