There are definite schematic issues with Evero, but that's not the point. The point is Canales was willing to give him chances, and that even after a (historically) bad year. Bryce, at least so far, is ending this season same as he did last year: trending up. That tells me Canales is highly unlikely to move on from him.

How many Huddlers every season keep getting fooled by Sam Darnold? Also, 17 TO's on the season now, BTW. But, yes, this is the success we missed out on. Riiiiight.

The Seahawks can't panic here. Just run your offense. You're leaning too hard on a QB that loves to throw picks when he's pressing.

Agreed. It is similar to when we win and he has 120 yards and 1 TD. It wasn’t about him.

That should've been back to back picks for ole Sam.

I think opposing DBs are Darnold's kryptonite. There's no specific team. It's just those pesky defenders wearing different jerseys.

You can also see the playcalling indicates they don't trust him.

In regard to Trevin Wallace, hard to miss tackles when you’re never around the play. Atleast you can see Rozeboom flying around out there.

It always happens. Darnold is talented guy but he must be predictable as hell on film because as soon as opposing DCs and DBs start piling up multiple games of film on him in a system it all inevitably comes crashing down.

His OCs were all guys who ran a lot of WCO concepts. Heck, even in college he was work some of the same things. To be clear, WCO doesn't exclude chucking it downfield. If you ever watched the Eagles under Reid, McNabb did at least three or four of those a game. As far as preferences, I used to be primarily a Coryell guy and hated the WCO (me and another guy used to have those debates on an annual basis). I came around to it later on. These days I'm looking into E-P

All super cool. Let’s stay on task here. We talking Bryce Young and Dave Canales. I know you don’t want to but I’m not going anywhere else with you at this point as has been told to you over and over.

i just think that this offense directly shadows what Bryce is comfortable doing. thats why it looks like it does. A lot of throws to the outside of the wr route tree, the flat, comeback, out(sometimes) and the corner. this with rollouts is what i think he is most comfortable doing. The problem dave canales has is i dont think he is as comfortable or even good throwing the inside part of the wr route tree, the go, the post , the drag , the curl(50/50) or the slant (50/50). that eliminates a lot of possible plays.

Darnold always struggles vs the Rams.

The Sam model at this point is to fool a team for like a half a season and then surprise! I’m still Sam Darnold

I haven’t seen it mentioned here but Cam about had a conniption over Rivers being called and his phone didn’t ring. There is video.

Darnold is in the giving mood for the holidays.

Imagine Evero making a smart, disguised defensive play call like that

Stare down the reciever a bit harder next time Sam

Darnold gonna Darnold.

Never fails

And there is Sam Darnold.

YAC is only one part of a WCO. Darrell Bevell, Brian Schottenheimer and Shane Waldron all ran offenses with heavy WCO concepts (rhythm, tempo, timing routes, quick releases, short passes as long handoffs, etc). Heck, Waldron came out of a Shanahan tree. Can't get much more WCO than that unless you invoke Bill Walsh. Didn't hurt that they had Russell Wilson either. WCOs often function better with a mobile quarterback. Do you know why?

So yeah let’s blame a DC for failing to succeed after they pillaged your defense in every manner available to them to prop up their QB. For two hard years like scorched earth they tore that defense down and spent the proceeds on the offense. You know. Draft, cap, FA. Drained the defense. Whatever you think of Evero. Whoever the DC is. No one can compete with what they gave him. The whole organization should have been apologizing to him. I am no Evero homer but let’s be real.

Canales didn’t hire Evero. Just like he didn’t hire Jim Caldwell and Dom Capers. Doubtful the HC no one wanted had tons of power to do what he wanted here….which likely gets into our QB decisions please see my avatar picture if you are confused about the point made
