Rhule: "I haven't done a good enough job..."

Um the defense is a sieve.

It's hard to say about that.   I mean they were 2nd in YPG.  They are on the field constantly.   Our defense is built to stop the pass first and since we dont score teams never are forced to pass.  If we can get the oline solidified and a qb that helps the offense put up some pointers to where the opposing offense has to be a little more one dimensional or at least some obvious passing situations I think our D is fine.   Carter should be replaced, I think they should just move Chinn back up to lb personally.   The interior d line could be shored up a bit against the run which has kind of been a slightly surprising struggle.  They could grab a coverage FS at some point but that's just being greedy.  Almost any unit on every team has one or two weak spots.

To be fair our only major holes are interior oline and qb.  A lot of the rest of the roster has been filled out.  It just so happens those are very vital positions that he undervalued.

We don't have a good middle linebacker and our safeties aren't so hot either (the one truly talented player in that group is out of position).

Our top defensive end is a doormat against teams that can run effectively.

The defense overall is best suited for playing with a lead, but we hardly ever have one.

And worst of all, our coaching sucks.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
