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 appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.
    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
