We improved the staff, so WTF is going on?

I’m looking at our 2021 staff and comparing it to our 2022 staff, and this is one reason I was expecting an improved product on the field. Better, more experienced coaches should equal better play.

So why aren’t we seeing results so far? Are the players not as good as we thought or are the coaches being hamstrung by Rhule?

Cause we aren’t winning the turnover battle, we aren’t winning the 3rd down battle, and guys hit the fg they kicked from 50+ yards.

The team has looked completely unprepared for the first halves of both of the last two games. No one here can pinpoint exactly why because we’re not in those practices and not in that locker room day-in and out. That said, we can judge the result and it seems like sporadic talent is the only thing keeping this team competitive at this point. The game plans have been crazy limited. Not sure we even have a go to for third and long. 

Which is strange because last year, we'd start fast and then be unable to do anything in the third quarter. This year our third quarter has been better, but we look horrible to start the game.

Here is the cold hard truth right here. 

The offensive problems were not Joe Brady's fault. That's why you see the same product on the field. We have pretty much ignored offense until this last season in areas where it matters. Mainly OL and TE. I know some will say TE isn't super important but for a New or Young QB it is. The OL should have been rebuilt day one and it's still not great. It will take another few years to really have a unit you can trust. 

 

On the defensive side we have good players in almost every position. Coaching is the biggest problem there. 

What DC looking that this roster goes yeah this unit will give up 20 points. 

You have Burns, Luvu, Jackson, and Chinn that play at a high level. 

That's all players you can build around. There is zero excuses on why this unit gives up so many 3rd and 4th down conversions except poor coaching.

We're like a week away from another players only meeting, and I wish it was one where all the players went to Tepper and asked him to fire Rhule

I think the players like and appreciate playing for Rhule. Rhule didn’t fail to stop Daniel Jones from running for a 1st on 3 and 6.

The staff was not improved. The new hires were actually guys who could not find other coaching jobs and really didn't have many suitors.

Right now, the biggest nightmare would be to find out that McAdoo and Wilks were brought in to be the replacements. And they could certainly be even worse head coaches. Their own histories point to that.

    • This 1000%.  Hey who wants to sign with the guy that couldn't even get his client the guaranteed contract of a 3rd round pick?  Lmao
    • 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.
