I love my wife. I really do...

So much in fact that I got her a personalized authentic Cowboys jersey.

Told her I'd considered waiting to give it to her as a Christmas or birthday gift but I wanted her to have it now before her season was over.

She responded "Oh, my season isn't over until the Super Bowl. Your season is over" 😳

Interesting to see the influx of Practice tweets/updates the week Rhule is gone...

Coincidence? I think not. 

My wife's jokes aside I've had to kind of remind myself over the last couple of days that football season is still going on.

Head coaches getting fired make you think of the offseason, and even a lot of our discussion has centered around what would typically be offseason topics.

And then I'm reminded "Oh yeah, we're playing this Sunday."

I'm probably not alone in that.

Man, what an interesting response from Robby…. I thought he might be a little more responsive, but he looked completely disinterested.  Almost as if he realized Matt was great in college and helping him get paid, but wasn’t up to being an NFL coach.

it’s a business.  Indeed.

So there were reports that Tepper Sports told the players to ignore the media, dont tweet, and stick to the script when they fired Angel Ramirez this season. I can't say with confidence that this report was accurate. However, seeing how players have spoken about Rhule and his firing... I'd almost think they were told the same thing. Hence RA's behavior in the interview.

Now the inverse to this.... they didnt believe Rhule would take them all the way, and now they are relieved.

It's always hard to judge by players. They're way more prone to take the blame themselves than they are to throw anyone under the bus.

That said, Robbie looked like he'd been shot with a tranquilizer dart.

    • I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best 
    • I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.
    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
