Fitterer on tackles and arm length

[Mr. Scot]

Starting at around 5:55...

Our buddy Ellis was impressed...

 

[Toker Smurf]

Yeah, I'm watching his presser and that got my attention. He knows what he's doing.

[LinvilleGorge]

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.

this what Matt Rhule said in his presser today.... interesting that he didnt start BC sooner.

That's like being skinnier than Andy Reid or taller than Maurice Jones-Drew or better hands than Teddy Ginn Jr.

He wasn't forced to play on the right side. That's where they had him all through camp and never gave him a real chance to compete at LT

I have a lot more faith in Fitt than Rhule.  Seems like Rhule tells Fitt what he wants and he goes and gets it (or tries to, at least).  Once the players are on the team Rhule is just fuging it all up

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”

Ellis said some similar things...

Personally, I appreciate the no bullsh-t answer on McCaffrey.

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.
