Matt Rhule on The Rich Eisen Show (10/12/2020)

[Icege]

 

 

Full Segment (Audio)

I haven't gotten a chance to listen in its entirety, but I came across a couple of clips on YouTube from their discussion yesterday for those not able to listen until sometime later.

 

[Mage]

Gotta admit, that coughing in the end of the 3rd clip has me concerned.

Most likely nothing, but damn it always just creeps in your mind now

[CLG]

Coach putting in that media work. 

[MHS831]

The difference is Rhule. 

I see the difference in a few Panther veterans....Boston's attitude and enthusiasm, KK has been hustling. Paradis has been OK, up from a train wreck in 2019.   But look at the players we brought in from other teams that were journeymen, discards, or under-performers ---Davis, Burris, Douglas, Cooper, Reed, Miller, Weatherly, Kerr---even our current stars like Bridgewater and Anderson.  I hope this magic works on Little and Thomas, but for now, these upgrades in play level were not expected.   It is contagious. 

As for the rookies, Chinn at the end of the second (#64) is outballing Simmons taken #9.  YGM is playing well.  Pride is going very well for a 4th round rookie CB.  Of course, Brown is a pro-bowl DT.  Roy, for a sixth rounder, is not a liability and will be a productive DT in a year or so.

Throw in the fact that this coach has no preseason, and it makes this transformation even more incredible.

And remember, Snake says he would kiss his own ass if we win 6 games...So if you needed motivation 10 seconds ago, you don't any longer.

I'm sure it's nothing and he's getting tested frequently. I always get a cough this time of year, not a bad one but just a frequent tickle in my throat and it sucks so much more this year whenever I'm at work or have to go anywhere and I'm coughing and everyone just stares like I'm some PoS spreading coronavirus everywhere... I always cough into my arm with my mask on too, but still get the looks.

I took a beating because I stated this club was not a pedestrian talent group. I still stand by that and that they are a top 8-15 talent group. They are certainly not bottom 5 as some suggested. However, there is room for improvement in the off season. I love what Douglas has become for us but we still need CB, LB help. I know Chinn is seen as the joker, but we need another mike big time. Everyone gives Chinn lots of love, including me but I don’t want him to lead the team in tackles. That often means someone is not doing their job (LB’s).

I'm puckering. Never would I have imagined a turnaround like this and I'm loving it.

I understand all perspectives---no preseason, new coaches, depleted roster--dead cap out the arse--coach em up, MR.

Players can look at Rivera's blank expression's on Sundays so many times before they stop giving a sh!t

Rhule is actually engaged and making adjustments every play.

I have been calling you out, but there is no point in premature celebrating--we are in the easy stretch of the schedule.  If we win 6, we will need some video proof--I am planning on selling "Balm up, Snake" t shirts--proceeds go to charity.   !!! Let's face it, everyone is going to be wrong by the season's end.

Yep.  They talked about his energy--how he gets players to run through brick walls for him--I thought, "not in the NFL they won't"  He simply has the "it" factor--seems like a goofy fan that won a contest to be on the sideline for a day---and he gets the most out of everyone.  A real leader of men with humility.
