Lol they flow together fine. He literally said he didn’t know if he had enough starters to run the offense efficiently. Then they get healthy and he states in the previous weeks the offense wasn’t ready. This echos what he was saying before with injuries. Didn’t you also guarantee the starters won’t play this week? I mean you seem to have this all figured out about hiding the offense. I just wanted to make sure that was you.

Only when it fits his narrative

Do I have to put his full quote up from the days prior every time you post this? It was also about not having enough starters healthy. He commented on if he had enough pieces to go out there and run his offense and what that would look like. Hell week 1 he was running out of OL to even take snaps. XL has been hurt, Johnson keeps getting mild injuries in practice, Lewis was recovering from an injury plus had personal time off, Hunt was getting mild injuries, Tremble has been injured. (TLDR version. DC didn't have enough starters healthy to effectively run his offense this early and get good impactful reps as a whole unit.) When asked after the team's last preseason game against the Jets why his starters hadn't been involved, with a whopping 38 inactive players on the team's 90-man roster last week, Canales referenced "the health of the whole unit" as being a big reason why. "Really just looking at the guys, the health of the whole unit. We’re gonna get more people back. So, again, this week would be another week to evaluate. We’re gonna have more of those guys that would be playing with that starting group. So this could be a good opportunity for that this week. But again—it all depends on how practice goes, it all depends on the depth of the guys we have to finish games. Again, that’s really just where my head was at. If we throw a group out there, but we’re missing a bunch of pieces, it’s not really giving us the full look at working together and doing that. I wanna make sure that they’re able to do that together." “I’m open to playing our guys this week. The same thing I told you after the game is true though. We have to look at what does that group look like if we put everybody out there? Are there enough of those guys to say this is valuable for us to get these reps? Once we start to get into the depth of different positions that kind of forces our hand sometimes on can we play guys? Today was a hard practice. Tomorrow is going to be another hard one. For me, I have to make sure we get through these two days, collect that information, and then I make the decision.”

He said he took time off mentally and watched some Netflix while also doing his workouts every morning. There are also clips of him training with ISM. He was also training with Mingo and TMJ in Cali. Basically some people want to be right about Young being a bust, so they are taking one piece of a quote and running with it. In their defense a lot of fans do this. I’ve been guilty of it myself.

Prime already said he has a list of teams his son will play for. I doubt we made that list. I do like Sanders as a prospect. Maybe we can do an Eli trade and walk away with Beck plus some assets in a trade back if it comes to that?

I’d be ok with that. It also looks like AR had a bad joint practice (even though he can’t be touched) so that might have been reason for the extra reps. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bengals-defenders-taunt-colts-qb-anthony-richardson-during-joint-practice-is-that-all-he-does-is-run/amp/

Yeah Cade Mays can’t stay healthy. He couldn’t in college either. I did think he would be better than he has been.

Yeah Maye was always a bit of a project. High ceiling QB no doubt but I don’t think NE ever planned on starting him week 1.

It’s nice to have some actual OL depth. Center is still weird but the other positions look decent.

If the starters are injured then yeah the offense wouldn’t be ready. One definitely leads to the other but sure keep spinning in your way. You also stated there is no way they are playing this weekend right? Figuring out the OL would be getting them healthy. It is literally what he said he was asked the first couple weeks. “I’m open to playing our guys this week. The same thing I told you after the game is true though. We have to look at what does that group look like if we put everybody out there? Are there enough of those guys to say this is valuable for us to get these reps? Once we start to get into the depth of different positions that kind of forces our hand sometimes on can we play guys? Today was a hard practice. Tomorrow is going to be another hard one. For me, I have to make sure we get through these two days, collect that information, and then I make the decision.”

Yeah the Lions started with a Jared Goff. I’m just saying Bryce could become that type of QB. Both were top picks teams traded up for, both struggled rookie years. The QB play of year 2/3 Goff is similar to first year Detroit Goff. Young would need to make that same leap for sure, but we could be in a similar situation. The Lions knew what they have vs us hoping we have something similar is the biggest difference like you said. I guess the Lions also got those picks from the Rams to help expedite the rebuild as well.

I'm saying Goff was a similar QB in year 2 and 3 as he was went he was shipped to Detroit. Our QB could have a similar rise (I get it's not likely). If he does, I see no reason why we can't have a quicker rebuild like Detroit did. Hell even if Bryce does bust and we hit the right QB in the draft (again unlikely) we could be competing in year 3 with Canales. There are multiple paths to mimic the Lions rebuild. One thing is certain though, we have to start hitting on these draft picks and try to change the culture (this is the part I can possibly see Canales helping with).

He is so photogenic. I also feel like he must have an extra vertebra or two in there...

If we are blaming our QB for losing the NFC championship game in a couple years it will be a pleasant surprise.

I think he struggled in the playoffs if I remember correctly? They built a hell of a roster around him too. Maybe they thought he was a Jimmy G? Regardless they got their ring with Stafford, but the Lions have rebuilt their franchise with Goff. It might have been a legit win/win?

How do they not get whiplash every time they get tackled?? It's like a lion taking down a giraffe...

They acquired Goff, whose rookie year looked similar to Youngs. It can be looked at either way. Sounds like Goff was playing some decent football after his rookie season. Multiple Pro Bowls and winning like you said. If we get that from Bryce we can have similar success.

Who looked awful his rookie year? 18.3 QBR 5.3 YPA 5 TDs 7 INTs. Goff may have had some of the worst play his rookie year as well. Stats can be used to spin whatever narrative you want.

If Bryce doesn't throw a 50 yard bomb I give up on him and Canales. Damn it Nicole Tepper!!

Also why are there Canales "defenders"? I would think most people give him the benefit of the doubt until actual games are played. Why are we drawing lines in the sand and putting people on certain sides?

Especially with joint practices
