No clue but I feel like I saw that word in here before, maybe around week 2-4 last year.

I mean, I know with our 5-36 record to finish up the last 4 years, I can’t imagine we’ve talked about that word much after mid-season or heck quarter season now.

ETA: Man, it really does hurt to see 5-36 to finish the last 4 years. It’s almost comical and unbelievable, but unfortunately true.

5-36.  Sweet mercy.

He's fired both a head coach and a GM midseason already though.

Exactly and got criticized for it.  I think the new Tepper is trying to show restraint to act less impulsively.  I truly think he will want to make sure Rhule gets the full 3 years.

they spend all offseason coming up with a plan and it works....for a few games, and then everyone adapts to what we do and we sit there the rest of the season trying to figure out what happened and unable to adjust to everyone else's adjusting. This happens on both sides of the ball.

Hopefully this changes on offense with MacAdoo, but I have very little reason to think Snow figures it out unless he relies heavily on Wilks and some of the other experienced coaches on defense for guidance. 

That is exactly why we made the changes in coordinators and brought in Wilks. It wasn't Rhules fault our team was so easy to figure out, it was the coordinators with little or no NFL experience. It was Rhules ego and naivete  to think his college coaches could compete with seasoned NFL coaches. Snow ran cover 3 in 2020 and lots of man press in 2021.  Wilks will run a largely nickel defense with a mix of zone and man and hopefully provide more structure and scheming on the back side.

He technically showed restraint with Hurney.

But this is the problem: There are times to show restraint and times not to.

Tepper doesn't know the difference.

That's a pretty accurate description of...a college coaching approach.

I hate saying it, but we're going to drop our first three and talk of Tepper being on the hotseat will be real. I don't think he'll see game five from our sidelines.

Edit: Nah, even I can't go with this. I think we'll come out of the gates roaring with CMC and a newly invigorated offense led by Corral from game one. We'll win the first two (I don't think Watson will play) and then our defense will let us down. Offense will keep us in the games, but our defense just doesn't make a stand. Tepper looks for a new coach by week eight.

It's Mike Shula all over again except worse. Just zero ability to make adjustments.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.

      Well I guess he should stop playing football. This was his defining moment and chance to prove he was generational and he failed. What a waste of football life..
