Millen & Guadin had this info from Shaq before the game...

...as usual FJ Person is the last one to the party 🤦‍♂️🤣

Similar to the Cam article you've pointed to a few times now, what else would Shaq really say in this situation? Did any Jaguars players make public pre-firing comments (or any at all) about Meyer even with the extreme situation going on there? Point being that even when it would be pretty fair to make public comments negative in nature the vast majority of players won't do it.

FWIW, David Newton's quote also makes it look like Shaq said 'we', with no specific mention of Rhule. I haven't heard it so have no direct knowledge but the word choice could be interesting if the question was about Rhule specifically and Shaq didn't refer to him. Or maybe it's nothing.

Absolutely!

There were a number of public outbursts/incidents...James Robinson, Marvin Jones, Trevor Lawrence and Josh Lambo just for starters!!

I'll say this, on the excuse-making front you Gone Guys are as flexible as Nadia Comaneci in her hey-day....a Triple Lindy dismount off the high-bar is old hat for you guys!

Now, you name some names...

...here are a few who are on-the-record with Rhule:

Oh, meant to address this too...

...in case you didn't notice Cam's comments were "unsolicited"...

...for those keeping score at home that means they weren't given in response to a reporter's question -- but rather, offered up extemporaneously as he knew it was the proper thing to do.

Key phrase for you to zero in on:  "...unsolicited defense..."

Please direct me to the comments you're referencing with the Jags like Robinson, Jones, and Lawrence, as all I'm aware of are professional/non-confrontational comments even given the nonsense Meyer was pulling. Lambo was no longer a Jaguar when he made his so he has no real stake at that point and even then it seemed more factual than anything.

All of what you linked here still has to be taken with a grain of salt, and Boston's comments in particular were from June 2020 before Rhule had even coached a training camp practice. That has zero bearing at this point, as again, what else was he going to say?

Nuance is important, pay attention...

..."incidents/outbursts"...

...no "comments" needed -- res ipsa loquitur.

These are signs of a coach "losing" the locker-room, surely you're already aware of all those situations?

      Clowney released

      By Waldo · Posted

      Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Sorta related.  I just looked up a stat:  Success rates for NFL draft's second rounders.  I was surprised that it is 49%.  The success rate for first rounders is 58%.   Here success does not mean those that did not bust, it means that roughly half of the players selected in the second round become full-time starters at some point in their careers.  Busts do that too.  However, considering the fact that a first round talent is worth up to 1800 points (first overall pick) more than the first pick of the second round and as low as 350 points (last pick in first round) higher than the last pick in round 2, it seems there could be cases in which it would be to your advantage to trade out of round 1 and draft two or three second rounders for the value.  Of course, the elite players are likely to be gone, and some positions overwhelmingly suck after round 1 (traditionally, like QB or LT, for example), but if you need to find starters at positions like DT, G, LB, S, C, TE, RB, etc, there could be a time when you trade back for more starters.  I was surprised that the margin between rounds 1 and 2 was only 9%.    While I realize that some of you sofa scholars are thinking, "Well duh?  Trading back gives you more players." as you wipe the Cheetos off your shirt.  Not the point.  The point is you have to consider the draft,the needs (and the number of them), and you need to scout the second and third rounds like you do the first, the cap, and the long-term impact.  If you can find 2 players with a 49% chance of becoming a starter, are you better off than drafting one player who has a 58% chance in the long term? So if I traded away my first rounder for two second rounders (a trade most teams would make) regularly, when I got 10 second rounders (by trading 5 first rounders), 5 would be starters.  If I did not trade and kept my 5 first rounders, 3 would be starters.  Furthermore, their rookie contracts would be much cheaper than the 5 first rounders.
