I said it back then but got killed for it. I know folks wanted to believe Brady was the issue but the offensive woes have been a part of the build everywhere Rhule has been. 
 

He fired Brady at an odd time and cited a lack of runs each week as the reason and then from that point out for the rest of the year we dropped from 18th best offense to dead last AND WE RAN EVEN LESS. 
 

Rhule sucked. 

And his opening script usually was pretty good with both Teddy and Sam. I'm not sold that he was the core problem. At this point, I wouldn't mind him back, but that bridge got burnt. Plus he had 2 trashy olines to deal with and had CMC out most of his time here. Oh and that rhule fellow too. Who made this place a dumpster fire running him out of town. Think the actual problem has been found as rhule. 

I wouldn't be shocked to see him turn up and do well in a different situation.

Trying to figure out if I see what I think I see in Wilkes. Which is while he is in the middle of an audition for his dream job he is not just thinking of this year. Or himself or something. I am trying to find the word I am looking for. 
What I think he has been doing with Sam is really big picture, it affects the future as much as today in a sense. He is baby stepping things with him trying to build him up. Or maybe it is all in the moment and he is just afraid Sam will lose the game but I think it is more to it. I think he is trying to get him built up and ready to match his outcome with his ability. Sam has the physical tools to make a 1st round draft pick wait his turn. For a while, if he puts it together. Whether he will is a valid question and I am not sure we had the final word. 
This game coming up will be a really good test.
