Probably waiting to carefully craft another fluff sit-down with Voth that'll go out in a week or so that makes all of us angry and accomplishes nothing but another year of pure poo. 

Before carefully crafting another fluff sit-down with Voth next year about a new coaching search and lessons he learned and how he's NOW committed to winning.

Spoken out on Rhule and said something like “we believe in and are committed to giving Matt Rhule another year” blah blah 

is he that embarrassed?

I would assume the Person article was largely correct.  Generally when a legit reporter has 20 sources they nail the general gist of it.  Get some little stuff wrong or partial stuff.     But his story had Tepper’s feelings. 

then the people who he wrote it about will think disproving one thing that might not of  been 100% correct somehow makes the overall narrative painted false.  Which it doesn’t.   See it it sports, politics, big business, etc.   

But I think Person largely nailed it

he doesnt have to.  how often do you see owners speak to the media about anything.  his focus is on the big picture, not day to day.  we dont know what his big picture is.

When a coach finishes the season in the manner rhule did and 95% of the fanbase wants him canned…usually an owner comes out and gives direction to inspire confidence.

He may be waiting to see who Rhule comes back with as OC, OL coach, DL coach and STC. Those candidates will show an awful lot about the direction Rhule will and is willing to take. It also will show how much draw power Rhule's system has for coaching personnel. How many  actual coaches will line up for a job here when they could be tied to a coach with a two season losing record and only a potential third season of employment (if things don't improve rapidly).

Can Rhule actually dig his way out of the hole he is in? That may well be what David Tepper is assessing.

In the meantime, a bunch of really bad teams, with tendencies to pick really bad coaches, will be flooding into the marketplace. Most of them will choose poorly. One or two might hit on something good. Knowing that rushing to judgement last time probably got him less than he wanted might make dragging his feet a bit more palatable. 

Until Tepper comes out and says out loud, "Matt's our man for 2022" nothing is written in stone.

And I think that bewildered, sleep-deprived look Rhule had at the press conference might just reflect that situation. As to Fitt, I think he must have been assured he'd be here for this year.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.

      Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
