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?

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
