I dont understand why some "people" have a problem with Rhule liking Jay-z??? Hes like the ideal american success story. Dude went from crack dealer project dweller....Rejected by every major record label in his career to where he had to create his own. They become the biggest label.. became a living legend as far as rappers go. President of Def Jam, Marries the Baddies RNB singer of our time. Branches out and has success in clubs,liquor movies, creates a huge sports agency all while becoming one of the first black hiphop billionaires... And yet people chuckle over Rhule admiring Jay-z....

Good point. Nobody would laugh at a woman looking up to Oprah. Jay-Z is of Oprah's ilk .. Matt Rhule looks up to an extremely successful businessman, why is that laughable?

Because a rapper doesn’t relate to, and isn’t remotely relevant to anything close to what he is trying to do - build a successful NFL franchise.

He didn’t just come out with an off the wall out of the blue statement like I respect Jay Z as a businessman…you guys don’t really understand context? My god.

The point was that success takes time even for hella successful people, like Jay-Z. If it only took two seasons to get your offensive line right every team would have a good line.

It does perfectly. Jay-z isnt just a rapper... Hes a businessman who created a billion dollar image out of nothing.  Rhule is saying basically rome wasnt created in a day.. It took jay-z 7 years before he hit pay dirt which is fine... Rapper is just one of his paths to success

      XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.

      Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.

      Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
