Rhule set to appear on WFNZ Thursday morning

[trueblade]

In case you are out of the area and didn't hear the interview, he's what Rhule said about Slater.

 

As @Zod said, I too, am less confident in Rhule than I was yesterday.

[frankw]

For him to make those remarks about Slater after we fielded some of the worst OL lineups in history is simply unforgivable.

And given Slater's performance. It's one thing to think that in the pre-draft process. Scouts miss on evaluations all the time. But to say it after you have 17 games of NFL tape with Slater playing well at LT? Yeah, not good.

That’s fine. Horn is going to be a great player and a foundational piece to our defense.

That said, we didn’t miss him at all and witnessed first hand how quickly you can replace/mask that piston.

Slater would have been the better pick.

Yeah, if Horn had played this season and had 4 picks and made the pro bowl, nobody would be questioning the pick-we were terrible at CB last year-short memories.

That's because he fugin confirmed he can't evaluate talent for poo...usually people don't admit it like that lol...he's even dumber than we thought and we thought he was about as dumb as it gets.

Science needs to take a look at how he can breathe unassisted.

Can someone just ask with the line performing so poorly all year, why did it take him until the last few weeks of the season to put BC at his college position of Tackle? Why did he wait for the last game of the year to put in brown?

What is his obsession with "ideal size"?

Ron Rivera said multiple times during his tenure that when was with MH, he told MH what he wanted, and dealt with what MH got him. Not all GM/HC relationships and processes are created equal. There really is no "blueprint" for success. Even if you look at the top 4 teams in the league, they all operate their FOs differently.

True. I just don’t think Rhule was the type of guy to take that approach with. Tepper seems to prefer a one-man show over a dynamic duo so hopefully post-Rhule we find someone that can operate in this capacity more effectively.

There's a massive lack of self-awareness on Mint Street right now from Tepper to Rhule and others.

I keep thinking back to two important quotes from John Madden and what made him successful as a coach and commentator.

The first one: "If you make a mistake, admit it quickly and emphatically and don’t dwell on it." Right now - nobody on Mint Street wants to admit any mistakes. I get not wanting to throw players under the bus, but doubling down on the Rashawn Slater evaluation when he's clearly a damn good left tackle is ridiculous. It's okay to say "hey, we missed on our evaluation and we're going to learn from it." That's better than doubling down on your assessment.

The second one: "Nothing is worse than a phony. If you’re going to have longevity, you’d better be yourself. And you’d better be yourself every doggone day." Based on all the stories I've read about Rhule, from throwing coffee into his face, telling a coach this might be his last game and how he talks during press conferences - I feel like he's not genuine. You could see with Ron Rivera that he was genuine. So many of us are able to look through the stuff he says and does - yet the owner doesn't see it.

I know that's a long post - but to me - those things stand out and boils down to the root problem of Rhule's coaching and frankly whatever the Panthers are trying to do as an organization overall.

I have no idea. When Tony Dungy turned around the Bucs he used to look for the smaller guys because they typically had more fight in them and had to be more technically sound to get this far.

With his comments about Slater's size and BC's arms, seems he is trying to fill ideal molds rather than put the best player in the position that they can play.  Wonder if he suffered from Napoleon complex as a player and is not fixated on measurables. He needs to drop the tape measure and pick up the game tape.

[trueblade]

This can't be real.

Matt Rhule: I didn't have much to do with the drafting on draft night. 

 

Also Matt Rhule: 

 

 

 

Why the constant and obvious lying?

It would be one thing if Brady was some alarmingly T. rex of a man but he really isn’t that much smaller than Gross as you and others have pointed out. 

And some of the best LTs (Jason Peters immediately comes to mind) we’re undersized arm length wise.
