Rhule thinks Snow's strategy is "Belichickian"

“We’ve gone to a lot of three-man rush to frustrate the last two teams, and we’ve done that,” Rhule said. “I hate to talk about another coach, but that’s a very Belichickian thing. Where as a coach, you really don’t care about the stats or what people are gonna say, you’re gonna do what it takes to have a chance to win the game.”

Quite the term. 

But he is right. Belichick is pretty darn creative with his schemes and changing them a great deal from week to week.

The dude has been a NFL DC for two games. I want to see how he does next year when he has players and staff with more experience.

Unless next year shows zero improvement, I think this guy will get three years to prove himself.

I honestly don't think Snow will ultimately work out either, but I respect that the guy is trying. If something isn't working, change it up. Don't go down in flames while touting your "system" that's getting skull fuged on the field week in and week out.

Tbh trying to judge anything off of this talent isn't fair. In the NFL you have to have skill players to compete and outside of Chinn, Brown, and Shaq we have no one. That's a GM problem not a coaching one.

Agreed. I'm just basing my opinion that he probably won't work out on his previous work and lack of quality NFL experience. His only NFL experience was four years with the Lions as a LB coach when they went a combined 15-49 ultimately concluding with a 0-16 season.

    • Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

    • The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
