Not sure if that'll be the end of it but no major impact yet...

Any chance we bring in somebody during the bye to help on the DL?

DL Coach, Asst DL Coach, are both gone. That just leaves Don Johnson the pass rush specialist. 
 

I think that leaves us with 3 defensive coaches.

Sam Mills III is available and Wilks knows him.

Of the remaining coaches, the two guys who have the longest work history with Rhule are linebacker coach Mike Siravo and strength and conditioning coach Jeremy Scott. Both were with Rhule at Temple and Baylor before following him to Carolina.

The guy with the deepest personal connection is runningbacks coach Jeff Nixon. He and Rhule were high school teammates and have been close friends ever since.

Beyond that, tight ends coach Kevin M Gilbride and passing game coordinator Matt Lombardi each have a few years of pre-Carolina experience with him. Quarterback Coach Sean Ryan has one, but I don't know how deep those ties are.

Siravo and Scott leaving would be no shock. Nixon too, though he's got a legit NFL resumé (one of the few Rhule guys who can say that). And of course, most of the lower level assistants are Rhule's people.

Guess we'll see who else jumps.

You look at the list and tell me which of those coaches have really gotten the most out of their players...

Easy, Jeff Nixon.

Outside of him, I'm not particularly attached to anyone.

You know, point taken. I think once CMC got traded, a traditional running scheme had to be placed on the table and that gave the offense something to really chew on.

Addition by subtraction I guess. And I think Foreman has found a home here.

    • Like I said El Captain doesn't score much but when he does its because he through the team on his back and WILLED the Canes to victory.... he's been so clutch the past few years in HUGE moments.
    • You can feel the Cresendo rising.... Rags fans are terrified everything just feels like the Canes do this.... I'll be at PNC Thursday.... make it loud make it proud.... I think it's gonna be a game were the Canes play at least 2 elite periods and Slaughter the Rags.... You could almost feel the moment the Rags will was broken in Game 5.... 
    • One of the things that we have heard is that Canales is going to be putting a heavy emphasis on the run and that has made more than a few frustrated because "it's a passing league" and "you don't draft a QB 1st overall to have a run heavy offense". This isn't to argue either of those points, just pointing out something interesting i saw. I heard a comment yesterday someone made talking about how Canales' offense is going to look like what was seen in Seattle and what did Seattle do? Ran...a lot. This isn't something that i really noticed much at the time and, frankly, i'm kind of surprised by this. I mean they had Russ who was at the time a very good and very dangerous QB, and they still ran a lot (too much by Russ' opinion, which is why he wanted out). Yeah, Russ wasn't drafted first overall, or even in the first round. But looking at what he was able to do probably should have been. I checked to see just how much they ran and, well...here it is. I looked at their rush vs pass attempts and where they were ranked within the league for each.  For most of that time span i'd say they were pretty successful. after Russ got there they didn't have a losing season until 2021 and even then, that's been our ceiling for a while. During that whole time of their successes they were always in the bottom half in the league as far as passing attempts go. As a rushing team, i think their best seasons were when they were a rushing top heavy team.  is this a strategy that most of us would choose? probably not, but it can work. it doesn't matter the reasoning for being rush heavy as long as they can make it work and i think with this OL and RB room i think we can. Will it be the most exciting style of play? i don't know. but if it can keep us in games and help us win, i'm all for it.
