I'll be honest, the media was baiting drama towards the end. Tepper doesn't want to publicly humiliate Rhule more than what he has already done by firing him.

 

I agree. And even though Tepper probably could have handled it better I actually kind of like that he was pissed. At least he cares.

Boy, a lot to unpack there.

He all but admitted the Rhule contract was a mistake.

It sounds like Fitterer's job is in jeopardy.

It sounds like he doesn't believe we have done a good job of managing resources(draft picks, contracts, etc) in pursuit of winning now.

It sounds like we will give Wilks a chance but I don't know if he will be back, regardless.

It sounds like we might be moving players before Nov. 1.

I didn't get the Fitterer angle personally but I suspect that if Wilks doesn't return we may get a new GM and he'd pick the HC.

He could've tried actually answering the questions instead rambling like an idiot, redirecting, restating questions to buy himself more time to come up with a bullshit reply and trying to tell reporters to read their own columns in order to essentially read Tepper's mind.

That dude came across as a completely out of touch asshole over those last few minutes.

Not trying to defend him but someone asked him if we should tank... like as if it wouldnt get him kicked out the NFL if he answered in the affirmative. Not sure what ppl were expecting.

they kept asking the same question which was basically when did you decide you were going to fire Rhule... like 4 questions in a row. 

Think about going to the DMV and them asking you the same question just twice...  and how annoying that is. In this case, its the medias job to get him riled up and to make a mistake. It's ridiculous that the NFL has a policy where players, coaches, staff have to deal with their poo.

 

Like was Erik Armstead dealt with in SF in the offseason. That poo needs to be controlled.

Amazing how some people are able to get this out the press conference, while others are still stuck on, "That rich bastard didn't say anything then got mad and stormed off!"

Media wanted a "tipping point" moment to write about. Tepper didn't want to give them one.

If you listen to what he said, he was pretty critical of the mismanaged resources.

So, the question is, how much responsibility did Fitterer have for that? 

The one thing he didn't do was publicly give Fitterer a vote of confidence, which he had done for Rhule previously. That's not good for Fitterer, IMO.

      what do you like do in winston salem

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
