Basically McAdoo is trash. The RPO game is the staple of our offense and it's trash. We're not feeding our workhorses and Mayfield is a limited QB schematically and we're not playing to his strengths (play action).

Smitty did give the D props. Said their biggest problem is simply getting worn out from being on the field all game.

IMO, it's very clear at this point that Phil Snow has been the reason for Rhule's success. Rhule is the pitchman and Snow is the actual brains behind the operation and that's why Rhule has always coached defensive focused teams with "good enough to get by" offenses. Except "good enough to get by" at Temple and Baylor ain't good enough to get by in the NFL.

that was great thanks

Yeah, loved Smitty giving the defense props.  They’ve been playing about as good as they can considering how shite our offense has been.  
 

The offense basically being RPO without the R was one of my favorite things he said.  Mentioned Foreman is nowhere to be seen, Baker can’t find throwing lanes like he should, while smaller guys like Murray and Brees don’t have those batted ball problems, and ended with a disgusted face asking “what is McAdoo doing?”  I don’t know Stevonne… I just don’t know.

 

Was also nice to hear him say his two teams are the Panthers and his Utah Utes.  Love hearing him not talk about the Ravens (except for that cool little Suggs story).

 

always an entertaining time with 89

He is right.  We ran the ball a couple of times to start the third qtr.  We punted, and they tied the game at 10-10.  After that, we passed the ball roughly 20 consecutive times.  By the end of that stretch, we were down 26-16.  20 consecutive throws might work with Mahomes or Brady.  It ain't working with Baker Mayfield.

Smitty doing a lot of posturing and thinking about what to say to not sound like a complete ass.

His unfiltered version is, the players are good enough to win some games if put in the right position to succeed. These coaches are so fuging dumb, they will never put them in that position.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
