Postgame quote from Rhule

When your defense sucks it seems that the play would be to give the other team less time to score. I don’t care if DJ was open on the pass in the end zone. Teddy sucks and that’s a known thing too. Why in god’s name are we throwing the ball there. Or on the 2nd and 3rd down plays the previous drive? 

Being a rookie head coach might be an excuse for some things but this is clock management 101. Anyone who has coached at any level knows that throwing the ball 5 times in a row or whatever in that situation is completely idiotic.  For all the money we are paying this guy, he deserves to be bashed when he fugs up basic football strategy and costs the team a win.

It's kind of an odd talking point. Because if Teddy isn't ass, and DJ catches that TD the defense can play 3 men all they want the game is over with. Shrugs. They actually ran the ball twice on the Goal Line, then passed it.

I can’t ever remember seeing a game where the team passed in that situation. 100 times out of 100 it’s bleed the clock, take easy points and play defense. If the Vikings had all of their timeouts I guess I could understand being aggressive with a play or two to try and build a bigger lead. But this was just so wildly stupid that Rhule and Brady would be getting my blasted all over the media if it was a game that anyone was paying attention to. Only the insignificance of it saves them from national embarrassment.

That's the issue with the Panthers, you can bleed the clock all you want, a better QB. Well, a 3 star signee to Kansas can make that throw. I liked it from a foot on the neck standpoint. I don't like it from a "hey, we're trying to show you guys Teddy isn't ass" standpoint though.

Rhule has been sensational so far. He's improved the culture, players are developing in front of our eyes and we're limiting mistakes. 

If he backs up this Draft class with a similarly talented Draft class (there's absolutely NO way you can convince me Hurney had a hand in the 2020 Draft) I'm all in. 

I’d say the Derrick Brown pick had Hurney’s thumbprint on it but yeah this draft overall was Matt Rhule, as it should have been. If it was solely left up to Hurney, we would’ve passed on YGM and Chinn for another player with “potential”

I don't see it - Hurney has never drafted a 'War Daddy' DT.

That was Rhule salivating at the type of athlete that never walks through the door at Temple or Baylor.

Rivera kept Josh Norman in his dog house. Rhule and Ron are the same. The difference is, one guy takes responsibility and the other doesn’t.

there is zero correlation between ron benching norman for making rookie mistakes and having a big mouth, and rhule benching whitehead for being turrble.

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

Exactly. It’s not altogether encouraging when your coach has to explain why he blew it two out of every three weeks. Thanks for calling it like it is, I guess?

It’s better than Teddy Trashwater saying “we all have to be better” though. The sooner that fuging garbage bag gets out of town the better. He’s not even backup-caliber at this point with his nonexistent awareness, accuracy and leadership.

That’s my point. Rivera chose the wrong guy over years.  Refused to play Norman for like 3 years.  Rhule chose the wrong guy for a little over a half a season, and we didn’t really have an obvious better choice like we did in the Rivera case.

Managing the game? You must have missed the last 3 minutes yesterday when we gave the Vikings about 5 free timeouts.

Better than Ron taking a timeout for the Saints so they could kick a game winning field goal.

and that was as much on Brady. That was offensive play calling. I’m not sure Rhule micromanages that as much as Ron did

Rhule's press conference today was telling. He said Snow wished they would have blitzed more during the last drive. Also sounded like Brady was late calling in a play for the final red zone possession causing TB to be "rushed/panicked." Hindsight is 20/20, and this is a young staff as well. None of them have previously coached at this level in their respective roles, I hope they learn quick and adapt their play calling. As much as this young team is learning, so is the coaching staff.
