Does Rhule Have A Plan?

Does Rhule have a plan/scheme? Most NFL coaches have a plan on how to build there team. Even coaches I think suck, like Mike McCarthy, have a plan on how they like to build their team.
Rhule constantly flip-flopping on stuff at the end of games on Sunday to Monday makes me think he has no plan or scheme and is just trying to find something that works on the fly.  Which is something I don’t find good for an NFL coach. 
Example: Rhule said Sunday we don’t have to change anything about our WR group they just need to fight through. On Monday he said we need to get more WRs involved. He has been doing this flip-flopping since he got here. 
I will give Rivera credit that if you look at the Commanders you know it is a Rivera team because he builds his team his way and sticks to it. 
TLDR: We need a coach with a plan because our current coach, like Disney with the sequel trilogy, has none.

No. He doesn't. That's the problem. All this time, I assumed "the process" was a thought out team building philosophy that he wouldn't dare telegraph to the league but you would see signs of it. For example, I thought his "process" must be, fix defense first, then OL, then get young QB. Makes, sense, right? A good defense is a QBs best friend, plus who would want to destroy a young QB behind a bad line? That's what the Jets do.

Turns out "the process" is "try to get one percent better every day!!!" Rah rah, cheerleader bullshit. He had no plan. When he was hired, there was all this talk of analytics and sports science. I've seen no evidence of any of this.

I think he probably did have a plan.

Problem is a lot of what he's done to set up that plan so far hasn't worked. Can't get to the next step of the plan if the previous step went wrong.

It's kind of like that saying about boxing, "everybody has a plan till you get punched in the mouth". Rhule has been getting punched in the mouth for two seasons already, and has gotten started on a third.

You mean Phil Snow had a plan, to run a 3-3 and it has not worked. How can you have 5 guys in coverage and still give up this many passing first downs? Rhule is a puppet, Snow is the master. Unfortunately for us, Snow is a baiter.

Formation isn’t the issue with snow. It’s his player assignment and blitz calling inconsistency.

 

majority of the nfl runs a 3-3. Bills ran it plenty against the titans. They also ran a 3 safety package for a bundle of plays as well.

I really don't think there's ever been much of a plan/vision in place of the type of team he wants (hopefully that's wanted/past tense soon). There's also GLARINGLY no type of offense that he's been able to consistently, clearly and concisely describe at any point in time.  

I think he's truly winging the offense and has thought McCaffrey could just carry things for him.  The defense is Snow running 4-3 hybrid looks, 3-3-5, & 3-2-6, but employing each at all the wrong times.

LAC is also doing what Snow wants to do very well.  He's just not really finding the rhythm or putting the right groupings out there situationally.

I agree, let me be more clear. 5 db’s up to 3 safeties, 0 interceptions and how many PBUs? It’s hard to generate constant pressure with 3 linemen. If it is not working try something different. Snows situational football IQ, is in the single digits.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
