I'm not a Corral doubter. But holding up Matt Corral's rocky NFL debut and weak foot as evidence of failure of Rhule's coaching is dumb.

In fact it shows he was right to bring him along slowly. His job isn't to pave the way for a third round QB. It's to get an NFL team ready for a 17 game  NFL season. 

His job was apparently some 7 year rebuild from the ground up. 

reality is we have no direction or vision or really any evidence anything is being built. 

Rhule frankly is just as far along building something as the day he was hired. 

still just renting castoff vet QBs.  No team identity.   Trading away draft picks.  Poor coaching.  We just added a bunch redemption tour coaches for the most part being billed as a great staff.

playing for draft position is a hoax created by kids. tanking is not real.

 

Tanking is real.  It’s just not something actively done on Sundays.  Front offices tank teams though.   The Jets front office tanked them the last season Sam Darnold was there because it became evident they had to start over.

Tanking is not real. I will argue that to my death. You might give other players a shot to play and showcase what they've got if playoffs are shot, but no professional team will ever intentionally lose.

There's nothing you can say to sway my opinion on that, anyone that believes in tanking is either a kid or a conspiracy theorist in my eyes.

Agree to disagree. 

as I said, I disagree with the notion that players and coaches ever attempt to lose a game.  

But front offices tank seasons intentionally.  It’s just part of rebuilding once you hit a window where you actually want to rebuild.  If you know a new chapter is around the corner….it doesn’t make a lot of sense to retain certain players with big contracts, make moves for guys that technically could make you better today, win now players don’t end up making sense….and you don’t use up resources/cap/add players the new coach/GM wouldn’t want.   So you let guys go, you don’t add guys of substance and you allow your roster to get weak.   Jets did it Sam’s last year in NY.

His theory in college is awesome, take really athletic players that dont have positions and get them in your system and figure something out.  That poo just doesnt work in the nfl, they have to know how to actually play

Bro, you've been killing it lately! Props!

What if the coach admitted to it?

front offices definitely trade players away, encourage coaches to start others to see what they have. but never intentionally lose. I hate the word tanking, rebuilding is definitely real. but these kids that are like "tank for blank" are the actual worst.

I hear you, man. Rhule’s got at least another two years here, even if he goes 0–17.

I disagree with that, the fans would burn the stadium to the ground if Tepper kept Rhule after a winless season. No coach should ever survive a winless season with a job.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
