I have a hard time believing that Tepper will keep Rhule for another year.  It’s like a stock that you bought high and have to sell low.  It stinks to take a loss but makes even less sense to waste more precious time with Rhule.

Should've kept Rivera and let him build out the 3-4 the way he wanted. He bled black and blue and that counts for something. You don't fire people just for the sake of firing them and Rivera was proven to be a good coach. Rivera with Fitterer would've likely enabled us the ability to turn things around.

I just watched Rivera's team get embarrassed harder than any L we have taken this year. neither are the right option, we need an offensive minded HC who has NFL connections that could bring in a competent DC.

Tell me again why Tepper is supposed to know football? Because he owned a miniscule amount of the Steelers and had no say as to what that organization did. The Rhule contract might look good on paper in the business world, who knows. But I have a feeling we have an owner that has no clue about the game.

To me, fault lies with Fitterer. He needs to take control better. But he's ONLY been a scout really. He was VP of the Seahawks for a year. A ... year. He played football, but was much more successful as a baseball pitcher.

I'd like to place my chips in the Dan Morgan basket ...   but that's not a thing yet. Yet.

I’m sorry but it was time for Rivera to go too, it’s not like he’s setting the world on fire with the no name team. He isn’t take anyone else to a SB, it was most definitely time to move on.

If attendance in the 4th quarter last game is any indication of next year he's actually losing more in the long run keeping Rhule than just eating the contract and moving on. Get Pederson or equivalent and get the young guys good coaching while they're still on cheap contracts

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
