CMC - Bad football is not being coached, it's the players.


Recommended Posts

Interesting feedback from CMC

Source: https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/2440479/amp

Excerpt:

Still, Rhule believes he can beat the odds.

“We have good players and I trust our players,” Rhule said. “I think we need to make more plays on offense. Our defense is playing well, our special teams is playing well and our offensive line is playing well.”

Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey said players are “absolutely” behind Rhule.

“Each player on this team, we have high accountability,” McCaffrey said. “The matter of fact is we haven't been good enough. I'm in the meetings, and I know what's being coached. Bad football is not being coached.

When asked if he’s seen that accountability across the locker room, McCaffrey responded, “We’re getting it fixed.”

McCaffrey, one of the team's captains, said it's up to the players to turn things around and change the losing mentality.

“We have to make the plays when our numbers are called,” McCaffrey said. “And that's not happening right now. We have extreme urgency to get it done.”

What did we think CMC, any team captain, or almost any player was going to say: we are capable of playing better football, but our effing coaching staff is like the Keystone Kops in every phase, and we can’t do enough to overcome that?

It would probably be true, but not something I would expect anybody to say at this point.

just my unpopular option but I think it’s all of the above, the roster is not talented enough. however that is a result of coaching. You see, the players simply aren’t good enough to play good football, it’s not accountability and it’s not a choice and Rhule put this team together.

this team is trash. outside of a few players the team Rhule built is not good enough to compete in the league. it’s obvious. and his high school antics will not resonate with these guys, who aren’t  good enough anyways. It’s a lose lose.

If Robbie Anderson was consistent and not sucking off Rhule for getting him his big $ for being a Temple alum, he’d be trashing the coaches.

It doesn’t have to be bad to get roasted in the NFL.

It has to be good enough to beat the best of the best.  Every team is good.  It’s the ones that do it better, win.

It might not be “bad football” but I can guaran-damn-tee it ain’t NFL level good.

This Kool-Aid sucks.

    • He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from. 
    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
