In the course of your career experience, you've probably met one or two management types who can randomly spout off some really smart sounding statements.

Yet they don't seem to be terribly successful, and you find yourself wondering why.

The reason? While they might sound smart, but they might not really be smart.

They know the right things to say and all, but in their mind they haven't actually put it all together.

That's the impression I get of Matt Rhule.

When is he going to start spouting off these smart sounding statements? Because all I've heard and seen is a bunch of dumbassery.

Fair point 😆

In all seriousness, Rhule is capable of saying things that sorta kinda make sense in his pressers. And heaven knows he can give a motivational speech.

Having good players, giving rousing speeches and employing assistants who take care of the true legwork is enough to be successful at the mid-tier college level.

In the NFL? Not so much 😕

And yet again, an utterly awful way of saying something. If you HAVE to say something then say things are gelling, say the team is continuing to practice and sync up, but don't say something like this. It's just flat out dumb and he does it time after time after time.

this isnt me defending rhule, this is me calling out these media types for not adding context. If you listen to the presser, he is complementing Baker and how he picked up the offense in less than 40 days....

If that's the case then yeah, Ellis is doing a disservice by framing a quote like that. I posted my thought but if your context is correct, that does change the frame.

You missed the point where he crated a fake competition that was settled at the trade and wasted a big portion of that time frame much like he did with Ickey. That is the context here. 

Vet QB learning basics of the playbook? Ok. Maybe scheme a run first game to help them out, especially since they are known for needing it. Or start the game with help for the rookie at LT going agaisnt one of the best DEs. Maybe throwing some playaction that the QB they traded for has a positive history with. Just some more context being discussed

Baker didnt struggle yesterday due to a playbook though... he struggled bc the Browns knew to stand up at the line, and we couldnt stop Garrett. We also had 2 costly penalties that killed drives. 

The competiton didnt effect whether Baker was here for 40 days or 1 day. Baker has been here since he was traded for.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
