He somewhat addressed this by saying they had a mass exodus on the dline after that season and they literally didnt have the bodies to field a defensive line.  So I assume he was saying thats why they picked brown and he said marty was running that draft

Matt Rhule 101. Deflect blame to others.

He was called a manipulator by someone in the org to me the first practice of his tenure here 

Yup...it's clear that several people aren't actually completely in on how bad it is...not talking bad about anyone just saying people may think poo is just a joke but word on the street is much much worse.

I liked Fields pre draft but agree, he doesn’t have what it takes to make the big league leap. Many scouts saw it.

I don’t like Rhule turning the Horn-Slater thing into an indictment on Horn. Skirted his way around that. It’s about building a competent OL, not about Horn. They didn’t compensate in FA for not picking tackles in 1 or 2. Picked two very middling OL veterans to immediately sign with a decent FA market at our disposal.

I’m just as ticked off we didn’t land Cosmi, Radunz, or Carman in R2 as Slater R1. 

Would have helped stomach this a lot better. I would have grilled on that subsequent strategy and the current status of Marshall. We drafted him 2nd, why the hell didn’t we use him when there was abundant lineman available? 

Too early on that.  He was in a horrible spot.   Like Trevor.    

but you watch late in the year like the stretch that starter around the Pitt game? Fields was starting to really show some things.  

generally rookies who shine are in good spots to shine.  Hebert.  Cam.  Luck.  All the recent wow guys as rookies had the talent around them to look good.   Trevor and Fields were in horrible spots.  

If Fields and Trevor were drafted by different teams.  They likely look different.

A lot of it does come down to circumstance...for example this offense would make HoF QBs look trash.

He's the Owner, not the GM or the Coach.

Mac & Bonehead runs a sports talk show, it's not an investing or business ops discussion.

Tepper leaves the football decisions, and football talk, to the football people. 

You might catch him on Bloomberg News or some other similar business related programming soon, stay tuned. 

It must be tough having everybody poo on your dad.  
 

Get used to it.  Dudes sucks donkey balls for nickels.  Then gives a 50 cent refunds.

Seriously. Just an awful look in retrospect. I mean, I guess I appreciate the honesty which seems rare for Rhule but I actually don't think he's trying to be "honest" there he's just so beholden to "analytics" that he actually thinks that's an intelligent answer. His best coach speak answer on that is probably to simply say that they evaluated Horn as the better prospect. We expect BIG things out of him in the future. Period. End of story.

Is it honesty? Just seems like standard Rhule bullshit.  
 

He drafted a DB that high instead lol.  And Herbert isn’t really that much more mobile of it all than his boys Sam/PJ.  What does that even mean.

Nah, I doubt Herbert is any faster on a stopwatch. He's just a much better QB who doesn't panic. Darnold panics if his first read isn't open. I'm still just baffled at how misused Herbert was by that Oregon staff. Damn...

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
