I mean... I think that qualifies as wheels coming off as I believe only the cardinals are on 2 years of 5 or fewer wins at the moment and no team has 3 straight currently.
if Gruden is 4 out of 5 years I would guess it does the trick.
I’ve got a dude at a gas station that does phone screens for like $30. I’d imagine iPads more expensive but not $200.
Find someone hustling a side gig that might void the warranty but gets it fixed. Craigslist or the like might work.
I never really got people freaking out over it. Not my favorite when people recline but I’m y’all too and never really effected me much. Feels like people are just angry to begin with and use this as a spot to vent
to be fair I wasn’t advocating trubisky or tua with that. Just pointing out that if you see your guy, you get your guy. The only reason it sets you back years is you don’t have a good qb if he flops, as the draft capital is generally replaceable
I think language on the field would largely be a defined penalty in the CBA. Surely plenty of insults are hurled any given Sunday which I imagine would cut the league at the knees if they try to impose an indefinite suspension. Then go wouldn’t have unlimited leeway to do what they choose with Rudolph if he said it, to my understanding.
I hope I’m clear in wanting to spend every penny and then a few on top. Just think we could terribly overspend on a comparable DT and still come out cheaper and able to add more elsewhere. Tagging Phillips wouldn’t terribly upset me but I think we could do better
I have wondered the same a bit
Best I have come up with is that no matter what this is going to be a media issue at some point and if he does a formal interview and completes it in February it’s less distracting than questions throughout camp/season and allows him the “I already addressed this” for later.
more likely than not (standard for civil cases) that Garrett intentionally made it up out of thin air... which means a simple explanation of “rewatch the tape. I sacked him and basically ended the game but acted like a crazed idiot because I heard him say it” could be enough even if it’s 100% verifiable that Rudolph did not say it.
simple misunderstanding or confusion can be a 100% acceptable defense to this lawsuit as malicious intent is key to the allegation that garret is making it up. Rudolph’s team doesn’t have to prove whether or not he said it, though that helps if he didn’t say it.
