Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

They have their differences for sure, but both are selling snake oil; It's just that one is likable in his delivery, and one is kind of repulsive and gives off the "full of sh¡t" vibe. The problem now is that I don't know if Dave knows what the hell he's doing either. 

As far as being a salesman I agree he goes out of his way to talk the talk and it's why I generally tried to tune out the heavily processed Blueprint series this year. Talk is cheap. As of right now his resume is more often than not him getting outcoached when he runs into a winning team.

You want to give him credit for reacting to what was obvious to everyone two weeks ago?

Does he tho

Matt Rhule didn’t need to be handsome to con Tepper.  More impressive when you have the handicap of looking like Matt Rhule.  I tip my hat.

I mean, was I actually giving him credit?

All Matt Rhule had to do was have his wife cook up some meatballs and BAM generational wealth unlocked.

What the the odds they basically just take the script from the last 2 weeks and reverse it? That Rico just gets trotted out first and it's still just a committee. 

Because when Rico went wild the carries were 23 vs 4 and 30 vs 4.  I do not believe Dave Canales is going to take essentially his offensive captain/leader in Hubbard and essentially bench him pending Rico isn't just gassed and asks to come out.

Tepper made a call id say. Same way he wasn't benching Bryce last year after week 2 then boom like he got a phone call

So Tepper is responsible for the good decisions now?

Worrying about feelings is how we ended up with Andy Dalton way past his expiration date.

We had an opportunity to beat Buffalo if we had let Rico exhaust their defense at 8YPC instead of staying fresh at Chuba's 2.5YPC, giving them plenty of energy to plaster Dalton. Poor game planning and recognition by DC. Not saying we would have won, but we certainly could have negated some of the rest that bye week had provided. Our defense certainly looked gassed chasing Cook all over the field 10 yards at a time.

It has nothing to do with that though.   Chubba was a really good player for us.  If they had kept it 70/30 rico, it was still something they would have to figure out in a few weeks to decide what the future was going to be for Rico.  I don't think they planned on Rico outplaying Chubba so much when he got back.   Especially considering the run defenses Rico had went against.

You might want to read what he posted. It was one big criticism.

Yeah, people on here act like Chuba has always been a bum and that using two backs is insanity. The splitting drives with no exceptions or adjusting with situational awareness is questionable, but doing it a second game after seeing that it wasn't working is where DC lost everybody.
