Well, thank God somebody on staff figured that out.

The follow up question was that 1st and 2nd down wasn't the problem in the Cardinals game, that they failed on 3rd and short, 4th and short repeatedly.  The response was  that we need to finish, to execute.

Especially since Wilks said simplify about 10 times.  McAdoo is known for that complicated O with a callsheet the size of a Cheesecake Factory menu.  DJ in preseason was talking about how complicated the new O was.  Wilks probably told McAdoo to pair it down.

i feel like what we see on sundays is really simple haha

I was thinking about a simple change he could do that would throw off the Rams. 

People talk about it here all the time, but I think times like this call for out of the box measures.

Move CMC to slot, and put Foreman in the backfield.  They will have to respect both. 
You don't have to change the scheme that much. 

The biggest change would be for CMC who as an elite player could handle it.

It will preserve CMC, throw off the D, leverage Foreman, and upgrade a receiver spot.

Are Kunkel's "sources" telling him this?

Is it really that hard to believe?

The players who have spoken up in favor of Rhule were either stars / leaders (McCaffrey, Burns) or Temple / Baylor guys (Anderson, Thompson, etc). Throw in that there was talk last year of players discussing things like "sending Rhule back to college".

Do we really know how he's perceived by the roster as a whole?

Wilks is trying to set that tone, so that is a first step...gotta do something to fix that O tho.

If some people gave Matt Rhule two seasons several games this season and every excuse in the book we'll give Wilks a few games at least.

Yeah, it didn't even look the same when he came into the 4th quarter last week. Or at least the two qb's were seeing their reads way differently

My theory, besides the 49s playing prevent defense, is that the calls were different, same plays they all know but using the wr's he's practiced with.

Yeah even Bills players

Baker is day to day with a high ankle sprain?

 

That has to be a first in NFL history

One thing about Baker is that he’s tough as a muthaa, he can okay through some serious pain but I don’t expect him to play yet. He probably wants a week off to see things from a different perspective

Actually, frank,  he gets the whole rest of the season.  Lets see what he can do.

    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
    • Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
