yup. Also Eli was just collecting a pay check here and quit on the field when playing for us. Eli Apple has been a constant headache for teams in the league. The bengals would still be in the super bowl with any other CB. 

Ron Rivera would have ripped into Eli even worse if I had to guess.

Apple is a defensive back who gets beat a lot. He has bounced around from the Giants, New Orleans, Panthers, and Cincinnati all since he was drafted in 2016. Rhule has his issues, but he is not always at fault.

Yeah.  All these articles about Rhule have been “anonymous sources.”  Yet most of our players have come out on record in defense of Rhule.  Something doesn’t add up.

Uh, what do you expect them to do? They are under contract, it would be professional suicide if they talked about their current coach.

Eli Apple sucks but he's a helluva lot better of a CB than Rhule is a coach.

Tepper should've fired his ass and told him he'll never coach in the NFL again. That one would've been pretty safe.

fhule is to nfl coaching what tepper is to nfl ownership... 💩

To his credit, he did make the initial contact on that huge play before halftime where Tyreek was stopped short of the goal line.  They probably don’t win the game if Tyreek scores there.  But yeah, he’s without a doubt a replacement level CB.  That was a great play, though

Seriously, what makes him think he's even qualified to make a statement like that?

Between this and the whole "I could leave for a college job and more money if I wanted" thing, I get the definite impression Rhule thinks he's a big deal.

In reality, he's just a small man who's full of sh-t.

I think we have gotten our very first horrible coach. He's going to destroy this organization and set us back 7 years.

Man he sounds like a real dick behind the scenes. Starting to think the team basically quit on him shortly after that Cardinals game. Probably got all cocky around that time

You would think if he was that at least one player would’ve said something about it. All I have heard them say is how they love playing for him.

It's hard for me to believe a coach would say that to a player at this level.  I dislike Rhule as much as the rest of you but this is hard for me to believe.  Even if it is Eli Apple he's talking about. 

I can belive it. The way Rhuke talks to grown men makes it believable. His tendancy to put both feet in his mouth when he should say less also makes it beliveable. Dude got up in front of camera and said an all pro rookie LT wasn't draftable at 8 due to being an OG. Yeah it kind of fits.

It said source and Quick has been doing good work. As far as credibility I would have give it to her over Mr. 5 year plan who constsntly lies and says very questionable things way too often. The guy told his grown ass players he could get a school job anytime he wants. It's just too belivable.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
