QB & OL Musical Chairs--doesn't help ANYONE

I will see the point of maybe Pittsburgh QB room seeming a tad similar to ours but they are fresh out of Big Ben’s retirement and have a much more cohesive team built around the QB right now. Although…do have our old OL coach 👀  
 

But they’re also having a very fair competition with adequate playing time for 3 guys. We’re splitting 1st team reps between 2, giving PJ the bulk and then Corral Chuck it up at the end.

If this whole thing blows up in our face, I see Rhule fired by midseason.

Some of us tried to warn all the people that bought into the Rhule training camp fluffy pressers thinking the guy had learned his lesson and turned a new leaf. As soon as he steps into a real game situation he can't get out of his own way. New position coaches obviously can't force him to play the right guys or know how to manage the clock/time outs

I don't understand how the hottest coaching seat is willingly doing this.  

Perhaps his seat isn't as hot as people hope it is.

Rhule is in job save mode. 

He's not running the team that way. As Mr Scot pointed out, he's running the team as if it was a college program and that he has all the time he wants.

In before some says Gross didn’t play LT his first year. 

we had a 10 year vet LT (that never missed a start) and made multiple Pro Bowls to play LT Gross’ first year before he left and Gross would then take over.  Gross starting at RT made sense given we had a legitimate LT for one more season. 

We aren’t in a Gross type scenario.  BC isn’t a 10 year vet that started every game and has gone to multiple Pro Bowls at the position.  .

Watching the replay, Jonathan Allen is the nicest guy in the world. He destroyed Jordan multiple times and each time quit once he got to Baker instead of putting him on the ground

Yeah, he could of legally blown Baker up pending he didn’t go high and opted out.   Allen prevented us from actually seeing the consequences of that bad OL play 

Also Elflein. that big play to Shi.  In a real game, Baker gets destroyed.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
