Postgame quote from Rhule


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

“Instead of pointing fingers, I’d rather point the thumb back at me and just say, hey, that’s not good enough, that falls back on me. That’s not like coachspeak. I’m disappointed in myself and my staff tonight.”

 

Coaching always plays a part in wins and losses. And deserved or not, Matt Rhule is willing to accept blame for bad games falling on himself and his staff. The closest to that I ever remember getting from Rivera was a "maybe".

For whatever you think of him, I consider it a positive that Rhule accepts responsibility for the outcome of games.

Its great Rhule can admit he fugged up. The issue is these coaching issues have become habit though this year. 

I don't know how much he actually did, but that's not the point.

I'm more just happy that he's not making excuses.

I dind't see the post game presser but he had to be referring to the drive where DJ got hurt.  

I like he took responsibility and just like any rookie he's going to make mistakes.  The most important thing I hope he does.  IS NOT REPEAT THE SAME MISTAKE OVER AND OVER. 

Rhule is going to be the Panther Coach for a long time.  I love his attitude and how the players unite around him.  

The defense played well yesterday limiting Cook to only 61 yds on the ground.  Not bad for the 2nd best running back in the league.

Yep, first game this season where I think both Snow and Brady laid an egg. 

Game was there to be won, but their play calling in the 4th Q was horrendous. 

I do hope Rhule gets some time off in the BYE week - this season is clearly wearing him down. He's looking more and more worn out.

    • Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.  
    • Same I think Randsom is a baller..... hopefully we don't have to suffer through 4-8 games of Scott blowing azz to get him on the feild.
    • Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
