That's all well and good, Scott. But let's get to the burning question everyone's dying to ask... why the fug your face look like a thumb???

I don't care if his face looks like an elbow as long as he knows what he's doing.

One thing's for certain: Fitterer came off looking way smarter in his press conference than Rhule did in his.

Feet are everything to a lineman. If you don't have balance, it doesn't matter how long your arms are, you're going to get beat. Greg Little is a perfect example. His footwork was atrocious. Slater has quick feet and short(er) arms but he compensates because his balance is good and his technique is good. I just wish some people understood this.

Reading the actual transcript of Rhule’s response to the Darnold 5th year option is so embarrassing from our culture builder and leader of men, more so than just watching it.  
 

“Umm… ummm… j-, bringing him in to be the starter, you know, knowing that if he had a great year, that he’d, you know, he would- [inhales] he would be a high- high- you know, high priced guy and if- if- if he’s a starter at that number, it’s- that’s- that’s- that’s low-end starter money, so… umm… that was a decision made, umm, uhh it was a collective decision and, you know, umm… uh… I got not much more to say other than that to be honest with you”

He is a polished turd where Rhule is just a slimly turd. He at least knows how to speak NFL vs Rhule bumbling along. 

He took a CB over a QB or franchise LT in the first. The guy he drafted in the 3rd is still a maybe with the time he had on the field this year. He also signed 2 dud free agents the first day of free agency. I wouldn't put too much hope in a Rhule GM. The dude sent the farm for Sam and then picked up his 5th year option. Either he is a yes man or he stinks at his job. 

He only looks good next to Rhule and that is not saying much at all. And his trading last year was ass. The only positive about Rhule staying is we can fire both and hire better people next year.

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      By frankw · Posted

      Even all the rookie QB's who haven't played a single snap ranked above him? I really hope Bryce is using all this as motivation in some capacity. Because if this doesn't motivate him I don't know what will.

      Of course. That’s what I said. Bad goalie play and the style of defense. Florida played amazing.  Rods decision to stick with a struggling Freddie cost us. Plus, Florida may be more talented than us and they play a very heavy game. Something we don’t do well minus Svech.  Glad the rangers lost.

      For Bryce Young and Dave Canales, the emphasis is on details

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
