The guy who had final say on that roster turnover was Matt Rhule.

Sure.  I dont think there were a huge amount of mistakes though.  He inherited an old team at the very start of a rebuild.  Hes definitely made mistakes for sure but it can take time to learn how to be a head coach in the NFL I would imagine.

Building an offensive line around "versatility" was a massive mistake.

Sam Darnold says hello. The NY Jets say thank you very much.

So like the Panthers to wait a whole extra unnecessary week to do it. Why tf wasn’t this done last fuging Monday? This team is fuging dumb as hell.

I jus don’t understand the power running comment. No back we have is a power runner. This team is lost. 

Lol, I didn't catch that. Lol. What foolishness.

The power run game is built in the off-season. 

They don't have the staff to accomplish power running in the NFL.

Clueless.

Yeah our FB is a TE, our TE is an H-Back. All we have are scat backs.

The writing was on the wall for Brady .  When Rhule stated that we were going to be a run first team and Brady did not get the message , he was in trouble .  During the press conference Rhule stated that he would evaluate the players and coaches .  Brady was sent packing .  We will see if this makes a difference or not .  Fitts will be looking for a new OC and perhaps a new head coach if the team does not start to look improved .

I think I misread, the quote was a “heavy running game” meaning run the ball a lot. Not necessarily up the middle 30 times.

Don’t think the hire is Fitts call

Joe was very underwhelming and a lot of the LSU sheen has come off without Burrow and that talent. He also isn’t the one who bungled QB and trotted an all time bad offensive line out there.

Right but why not do it last Monday and have 2 weeks for the change to set in.

Exactly right. Should've been done after the Miami game, giving the next OC 2 weeks to implement their scheme in.

I doubt they will be able to make wholesale changes over what these guys have been working on for months. Most likely, you'll see the same plays, but with a heavier run/pass balance. Run, Run, Pass, Punt.

Edit to add: against a team like TB, who is great against the run, that's... not a great plan.

That was a low risk high reward move.  The dumb part of that whole thing was picking up his 5th year option when they didnt need to.
