Honestly, with McVay as HC and Matt having the year of his life, Williams doesn’t matter I've watched the rams a lot this year and the line gives ,Matt time, puca and davante are constantly open and if they aren’t the TEa are. McVay plus a healthy stafford equals Super Bowl if that defense can hold up

Yes. Good point on the timid I didn't focus on it as Canales should know by now Young goes into his shell ill tell you honestly, i saw how young looked in the tunnel coming out with the team without his helmet on he looked scared shitless he played scared shitless one podcaster looking at the all 22 film said Young was thoroughly confused by Salah’s use of Mustafa and basically became paralyzed .. similar to what happened in 2023 with Bates in Atlanta Salah as DC greater than Canales as Oc

I thought that too Ie trying to prove ‘look, he cant do it under the lights on the big stage’ honestly, im Not sure he is that bright then again, how many coaches and offenses have to fail to prop up young before this ends i blame both canales and young for that defensive carnage Monday night Both of them …and ill say too, if part of the problem is after 12 games into the season, the receivers are still too deep in their routes then either new receivers are needed Or new coaching or the routes are failures or the qb or all 4 they have had preseason, mini camps, training camp, practice and the season their coach was a receivers coach and now the OC and they still cant consistently complete a pass not a good look he has business being the OC and HC he isnt McVay and he isnt Reid

Two trivial things about Canales that drives me nuts 1. His use of nicknames for grown ass men ‘t mo. D mo.’ And on and on 2. His freaking word salad with things like ‘come alive’ as if they ate some offensive juggernaut And example below ‘Offensively, just could not get our rhythm going. And really it just started off with the run game. I have to make sure that that comes alive’ Dave, here’s a phrase for your offense DOA

i find this to be alarming on so many levels im going to change the order of the portions i copied from Joe’s article i really have serious doubts about Canales’ common sense 1. A running team forgetting to run 2. Making this game plan about Young’s passing game momentum . Total idiot. It is about winning games not about young’s momentum. That is what practice is for , not live games god help us all. Article below Confused by the Panthers’ pass-heavy play calls vs. 49ers? Rico Dowdle probably was, too CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In two seasons here, Canales has juggled offensive play calling with his head coach responsibilities. Sometimes the balls end up on the floor. In two critical moments Monday night, Canales chose to go with a pass in situations where a handoff would have been the more direct approach. The first was the disastrous, first-and-goal play from the 1 where Bryce Young opted against running in for the score and instead lobbed the ball toward rookie Mitchell Evans, only to see safety Ji’Ayir Brown come down with it. The second one was just as perplexing. When the 49ers were whistled for roughing long snapper J.J. Jansen on Ryan Fitzgerald’s successful PAT pulled the Panthers to 17-10, Canales took the point off the board and went for a 2-pointer from the 1. But Canales ran a play that didn’t take advantage of the spot, with Young missing Jalen Coker in the back of the end zone. (Rookie wideout Jimmy Horn Jr. appeared to be the first read in the flat.) Canales said after the game he wanted to build on Young’s record-breaking passing performance in Atlanta, and thought the line was protecting well. But that lack of rhythm Canales mentioned was the result of never giving Dowdle the opportunity to get into it. When Dowdle ripped off a 17-yard gain on the first offensive play of the second half, Canales came back to him two plays later. It was his final carry. After an overnight, cross-country flight, Rico Dowdle began his Tuesday — at least on social media — with an emoji. Dowdle’s post on Xcontained no words accompanying the face with spiral eyes emoji, which EmojiTerra tells us symbolizes “confusion, dizziness, overwhelm or being utterly shocked.” Per the website, it’s often used to convey “feeling dazed, hypnotized, or caught off-guard in troubling or surprising situations.” It’s not hard to figure out why the Carolina Panthers running back would be feeling some or all of those emotions. Dowdle has been one of the Panthers’ fun, feel-good stories this season, an Asheville native who signed a prove-it deal with his home-state team and then got right to the business of proving it. Before the Panthers hosted the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6, Dowdle warned his former team to “buckle up,” then backed up his words by running for 183 yards and racking up 239 yards from scrimmage. But in a 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, it was Dowdle who was buckled up. And the guy who strapped Dowdle into a safety harness and threw on the child-safety locks was none other than Panthers coach Dave Canales. Dowdle led all backs Monday — including Christian McCaffrey — by averaging 6.3 yards per carry. But while 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan was feeding McCaffrey a cornucopia of 24 carries and 31 touches, Dowdle finished with a meager six rushing attempts. That matched his season low from a loss at Arizona in Week 2, when Chuba Hubbard was still RB1 and the Panthers were throwing nearly every down in the second half trying to catch up. Dowdle wasn’t the only back Canales dissed. Hubbard had just three carries and the Panthers finished with 13 as a team, tied for the fifth fewest in franchise history. Some of it was about opportunity, or lack of it. With the 49ers’ two touchdown drives consuming more than 16 minutes, the Panthers ran just 43 offensive plays, which matched their low under Canales and tied for the second fewest in team history. But Canales, who arrived in Charlotte last year preaching the balanced offense gospel, conceded Tuesday that he didn’t emphasize the running plays on his call sheet nearly enough. “Offensively, just could not get our rhythm going. And really it just started off with the run game. I have to make sure that that comes alive,” he said during an opening statement to reporters. “That’s a part of who we are. It’s a part of what we believe in. We have two great backs that contribute to this team. The offensive line was blocking well and that was a missed opportunity by me. And I’ll do better in that regard.”

Lot if talking heads have been saying this they are not wrong

This guy can be good at podcasting. He can also be hyperbolic. This time, good, and her is his comments after all 22 review many of the same comments as our bord However, one interesting comment was young not knowing how to handle safety mustafa number 6 on the 49ers with how salah used him and that combined with the receivers possibly running routes too deep combined with young timidness, disaster cant summarize more just thought, interesting listen

I do not see it too many injuries …on the oline and defense Plus the saints have always given the panthers fits And mayfield can manage that non throwing shoulder injury, they are tge division champs 6 and 11 last night was a dagger stuck into many things

Didn’t Verge say Young would either be replaced or have competition next year? I think i saw that response recently

Best response on this board about the game canales mirrors his mentor too much. Salah who was in Seattle with Canales, beat Dave’s ass like a drum with his coverages

Drew Bree’s evolved he was never number 32 out of 32 QBs in the league what Young is right now, he will be in 5 years he needs a perfect team, or to play Atlanta every week, to succeed have that qb deal with a zone defense and pressure and he is finished

either Canales or Young needs to go Bryce in one play. The interception in the end zone 1. If he throws the ball without hesitation, touchdown to evans 2. If he runs it, touchdown 3. If he throws it away because of the congestion in the end zone, the panthers keep the ball, and can either run it 3 times or run it twice, and kick a field goal This mistake is not random. seen enough.

Canales needs to give up play calling …and not to his buddy Izik his play calling is totally predictable how in the name of god does Rico only have 6 touches…how they need a seasoned OC expect Evero to move on as well. Canales’ buddy Salah beat Dave’s ass like a drum On Young, the minute I saw Young’s demeanor out the tunnel, I knew his happy ass would be tentative that hanging pass to the end zone instead of running it in was egregiously poor for a 3rd year player wouldn’t it be great to have a qb who can actually run a QB sneak they need to move on from Young….it is clear

Or HC he needs to turn over play calling

You aren’t wrong at least you still care i feel indifference…started with the first drive in the second half

The Rams are a Super Bowl team im going to make other plans for Sunday girl, it will be 30 to nothing by halftime. Stafford is outer worldly this year

Maybe longer

He has to go cant even use him for a qb sneak can’t play against a zone defense I see no way forward with young his inability to get first downs killed, literally, the defense this game had my hopes up, no more

Sad. Just sad it was wasted on this effort

Robert Salah greater than Dave Canales

Because he doesn’t

If this is true, he needs to go

I just have no words I am sad about this game and pissed

You know that’s what will happen

No downfield passes called It appears is young hurt with that ankle ? what the fug is going on
