Two things in our favor, draft-wise

a) Rhule knows how to evaluate college players and figure out how to make them succeed on the field. Sure, it might take one season to get them rolling with The Process, but Rhule has proven he can take a ragtag gang of misfits and turn them into contenders in a short timeframe.

b) Luke is also scouting players. And Luke knows how to watch tape.

Who wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall listening to the Rhule + Luke analysis?

As much as I appreciate your optimism - does Rhule actually have any track record of that at the NFL level? His success came from getting players at 2nd or 3rd tier CFB programs to buy into a system. And while he was very successful at that an I hope he replicates that here.....this is a whole new animal to him 
 

and we all love Luke - but being a generational player doesn’t necessarily translate to scouting

If you believe that Rhule was in charge of the last draft, which most of us believe, he has started off well.

Luke is probably one of the best to ever play and his ability to watch tape and adjust his game to what he watches.  That said, watching potential players on tape.  He would be able to determine whether it was talent or scheme that made the player good.    

I think his input would be invaluable.  Maybe not making  the final decision but giving a players point of view would definitely help.

Based on this year's success, I'm optimistic about our draft future. The Seahawks had a string of tremendous drafts following hiring Pete Carroll that kick-started their success. These college coaches know college talent. They likely recruited a lot of these guys.

Pete had an extra advantage because he was basically an NFL coach who was spending time at the college level.  He had a good idea of what traits translated to the NFL, and who had them.  He definitely had an advantage in scouting players, having been in some of their living rooms meeting their family and watching them grow.  His buddy Pat Kirwan told the story of getting a phone call from Pete Carrol when Pete was still at USC.  He told Pat "keep an eye on the Earl Thomas kid I just lost to Texas.  I think he's the next Troy Polamalu!"  Years later everyone remembers when he had a chance to take his own USC safety but took Earl instead.

Wow, if we are still using tape that's something Tepper is going to have to upgrade to some kind of digital format. LOL

I don’t believe for a second that Rhule was in charge of the last draft. That’s why Hurney was kept around 

I don’t see a world where a billionaire hires a coach with zero NFL experience and just let’s him run everything himself

Surely he had impact - but not his show alone (yet)

Do you believe it now? Marty sure wouldn’t have been fired if he was in charge of a great draft.

Me too. It’s also why I wanted Marty gone. Can I get a hallelujah? Rhule and co are soon not going to have that knowledge advantage that helped so much especially since many visits and pro days got canceled. Having a competent GM/scouts installed that can weigh in and take over a bit as Rhule and co will have way less extra knowledge starting in the 2022/2023 drafts.

      Caleb Williams is struggling big time in OTAs

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I'm really trying to give a fug....   Nope...that's  a lie.  I simply Don't give a fug about the bears, Caleb, or the fact we traded with them over a year ago.  All water under the bridge.  With that being said, Caleb is a punk ass rookie, that is in his first OTA in the NFL.  It really doesn't matter how he looks. He's suppose to be learning the system.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      I sit here and think, Y'all call me a Homer?  This thread is filled with mostly people on the Extremes.    Ones whom are incapable of believing a group of talented athletes can play well enough together to win.  And ones that fit this description.   In may.  Believe that our offense is going to magically start carrying this team. Which has never happened in the history of this franchise.   You guys have no business calling me a Homer. Seriously.    Now that I have expressed this... let me open up more on This current team than I have to this point  In THEORY, our run defense should be much improved.  Which would in turn, give the defense more opportunities to actually rush the passer.  More than last year anyways.  Once again, in THEORY, our running game should be much improved.   That in itself should benefit out defense, by allowing the offense the opportunity to actually sustain drives.  There isn't a single pass rusher on this team that scares me. Clowney is a pretty good complete defensive end/edge guy.  At no point in his career was he ever considered an elite pass rusher.  Now he's our best pass rusher. After that we have a wanna be journeyman pass rusher, and a lot of unknowns.  Even with more pass rush opportunities on the horizon, how ANYONE can be confident about our pass rush at this moment, just blows my mind.  Going back to offense.  IF our oline can come together, and ve somewhat healthy this year, that will be a miracle in of itself. Thus is coming from a fan whom always says the okine takes time to come together.  He'll, last year they never had the opportunity to come together.   The line was being shuffled from the beginning.  How anyone expected our young left tackle to be even competent when musical chairs was played all season long at the guard positions , blows my mind. Is anyone capable of understanding the impact that has on an oline?  Which in turn impacts the entire offense?  Seriously.   The fact people still want to say they know Young sucks/is a bust after the 1 rookie season behind that miserable attempt of even fielding an offense??? Seriously, what the fug are you smoking? That ain't good poo. You need a better source for your drugs man.  You guys have brain damage.  IF our oline can come together, IF our oline can remain decently healthy, then yes, our offense should, for the first time since Tepper has owned the team, be offensive to other teams!! Our running game should flourish.  Nothing in any generation of NFL is more effective andndangerous than a balanced offense.   While I am somewhat optimistic about what this team as attempting to field this season... I do have my doubts.  I can see how it can come together.  I can also see how it can fail to get traction at all.  Our team should at least be more entertaining to watch for the first time in I don't know how many years.  Maybe I'll actually attend some games this year.  I won't hold my breath.  If our team findsa way to improve to average, that means will win 6 to 9 games.  That's a pretty good improvement for a first year head coach.  Notnsurw how many of our fans would be alright with that. Seems our fans fall into 2 categories.   Superbowl, or tank, I mean don't you dare win 1 damn game, and fug up a high draft pick so we can continue to suck forever!!!! Hmmmm  Seems this post has been all over the place.  And you have the audacity to call me a Homer. 🙄
