Why would 1. He say anything relevant to give opposing teams any advantage and 2. Any somewhat intelligent person not understand media talk and actually take everything word for word? Sounds like an extremely rough life.

 

I'll ignore your veiled insults and just have you compare his presser to Fox or Rivera.  His predecessors literally said the same thing every week - a whole lot of vague nothing.  You couldn't read anything from their presser one way or another.  

It has nothing to do with believing everything he says, it's that he says too much.  Period.

Maybe, just maybe... that is how all head coaches operate.

Why would any head coach say anything beyond vague nothing?

But my point is, Rhule isn't saying vague nothings.  Initially, many here appreciated his candor and found his transparency refreshing.  He has been blatantly honest more often than not in pressers, so it's not just a bunch of Rivera's "have to execute" or Fox's "it is what it is."  Maybe y'all haven't watched them in their entirety, or maybe you just didn't catch it if you did, but he has actually went into Xs and Os and scheme-specific stuff in these.  Foc and Rivera never did that.  They also always intentionally avoided discussing injuries and availability as much as possible.  Rhule seems to just speak off the cuff and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.

How is saying "There is a chance Stephon Gilmore plays" not being vague?

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
