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.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
