Rhule: We Have to Get That Play in Quicker to Teddy.

[TylerDurden]

When asked a question about his confidence in Joey Slye, Coach went on a list of all the things that went wrong leading up to Slye's missed kick against Minnesota, and among them was this quote.  So, despite the fact that DJ was wide open and Teddy just missed the throw, Rhule now believes that was where we went wrong on that play?

Ehhh, I really expected him to be perturbed by Teddy publicly saying that last week, but now he is actually co-signing it?

[LinvilleGorge]

Remember, he was really looking forward to coaching Cam and he thought Whitehead was playing well. There's numerous other examples that I'm not immediately recollecting of Rhule saying something positive followed by an action that clearly demonstrated that he was simply engaging in "coach speak".

[Mr. Scot]

I don't necessarily want to make too much of it because it's good for coaches to take responsibility on themselves.

Buuuuttt I could definitely see that being taken as making an excuse for Teddy.

Calling down Teddy is also calling down Brady. At the end of the day, Brady wanted Teddy here and he is here

I think people are making too much of this. Both things can be right. We should have gotten the play in faster and Teddy should have hit DJ when he was open. Two failures occurred on the play.

This statement could be seen as calling out Brady.

As a procedural thing, I understand feeling the need to get the play call in sooner.

As a reality thing, I understand that the play produced a wide open WR in the end zone for what would've been a game winning TD and Teddy admitted he would've checked out of that play that we know in hindsight worked to perfection (aside from his wildly errant pass). So Teddy didn't just fail in the execution of the play but also in his pre-snap read.

Problem isn’t teddy. Duh. Anyone who thinks that hasn’t hated on Rivera enough. You know who you are. Don’t be a dumb.

Just shouldering the blame for Teddy’s fug up. It’s what good coaches do in public. We wouldn’t know what that’s like, haven’t seen it from this organization.

The play was ran prior to the clock hitting zero. A franchise qb makes that throw and then doesn’t need his HC to take the bullets in public. 
 

We are an embarrassment of a franchise just like our other cat brother teams (Lions, Jags, And Bengals)

Yeah, which I would usually be willing to write this off as too, except he proactively volunteered that bit about Teddy in a question about Slye.  He didn't have to being up Teddy or that play at all there, but he did, and blamed the failure of it on not getting the play in fast enough despite everyone seeing what happened.

The people who used to dissect every syllable of Rivera’s pressers and lose their MINDS every time he said something about poor execution are now finally acknowledging the existence of Coachspeak after 10 years. Thank god...we’ve made it.

That being said, this ain’t Coachspeak. There’s obviously a difference between being asked a pointed question about a player and offering up a vague pleasantry versus going out of your way to mention something about a different player or incident when they had nothing to do with the question.

You all don’t realize how much is involved re timing, even with a simple pass. Unless the receiver is standing with no movement, there is a lot that can go wrong. Passer and receiver have to be on the same page re speed and tempo. Things were clearly out of whack on this late snap play. Had there not been late play call confusion, things would have been smooth and it would have been an easy TD.

I mean are you people that lucid? I think there is plenty of evidence that Teddy is accurate and on target. When the sideline goes grade school, it screws the entire situation. If receiver stride, speed, angle, etc is off from what it is in practice where timing and anticipation is down to a science, it causes trouble. 
 

Teddy could have thrown it better, but my guess is that the two players were off on the timing they have etched in their minds..and from the hike of the ball it was off kilter.

But go back to your regularly scheduled “hantics.” Man, you all are going to throw a temper tantrum when the team doesn’t draft a QB to eventually replace ol Theo.
