"shock the world"

 

Looking at this roster, this coaching staff and the qb's on this team in the preseason and not seeing a complete trainwreck is on you.  Anyone with a brain could see this happening.   All the optimism in the world,  all the unicorns and rainbows, all the supposed fandom wasnt going to change reality.  This was (another) wasted year from the jump.

Me, I saw it coming.

I wonder who in the building couldn't wait to leak this garbage mission statement to Jones. In the end, Rhule was not "OOU"

My guess is Steve Drummond is JJ’s source. I imagine they developed a good working relationship when JJ was with the Observer and Drummond was the Comms guy

Why the fug did this not come out sooner? Like the urban meyer crap last year. Also is Tepper really this absent or did he believe this is truly how you coach an NFL team? 


I’m surprised things didn’t leak sooner, but I understand it. Folks don’t want to lose their job and potentially be blackballed in the league. As bad as Rhule’s situation was it wasn’t nearly as toxic as Urbs.

But again, you could see how dysfunctional it was from the outside which is what makes it so much more insane that Tepper let it stretch on for as long as he did.  Even the "DBO" poo...  it was clear he was trying to implement that and emphasize it as part of our culture but then quickly saw, not even after camp, but during camp, how ill-received it was and abandoned it.  Then you see the details behind it, like this and it's just incredible it went on for as long as it did.  

Anyone of us could walk in that building and do the exact stuff he did, and in fact, I believe some here with their football knowledge, would actually produce more wins and a better culture...  point being, all that rah-rah poo means jackshit if there is no substance behind it.  It's like he went hunting and came back with the game's skeleton but never explained to anyone where the meat was.  poo just doesn't work and the more you implement poo and then abandon it, the more people will lsee you for the buffoon you are.

This stuff reads like any bad sales manager I’ve ever had. Most often the people in charge of leading other people have zero clue on how to actually do it and generate results. 
 

They often mask their insecurities by regurgitating the “tried and true” sales method philosophies that have failed miserably dating back long before them. 
 

You want a good head coach?  Get someone who relates to the players, someone who knows how they think and why they think that way. That someone is Demeco Ryans.

The only difference I'm seeing is the physical assault and publicly threatening jobs aspect...  but aside from those, Rhule actually seemed to be more toxic IMO, and the environment he created and fostered was able to fester for a lot longer.  We knew it was bad, but the fact this went on for two and a half years is insane.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
