He's not being paid to score. He's being paid to do a little bit of everything. There are no pure shooters in that starting five save for Al, who has to take up space.

 

That's a detriment to the starting five, but it's not what is going to doom them. They had the same issues last year and made the playoffs with less talent and depth. Heck, they looked to be in control of the first half.

 

The jet lag and overtime caught up with them in the second half. Also, credit the Lakers for throwing a zone look that the Hornets had not seen this year which seemed to turn the game in their favor. Also, they kept Al in check.

 

Yes, he is, at least more than 6 points he is.  No one expects 20 a game, but you have to be around 15ppg-20ppg, at least 14 something like last season.  He can't hit any shot right now, hopefully he turns it around.

      NFL Week 5 -Other Games

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yeah, Darnold is basically a really high level game manager. Put him on a good team where he isn't required to provide lift and he can shine. But when you need him to do the franchise QB thing and put the team in his back here comes the INTs. He just doesn't seem to have any positions on his dial between "super conservative take whatever's there and take care of the ball" and "YOLO!!! There's a receiver down there somewhere in that sea of defenders!"

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      See, it's posts like this that show me how many of you are taking my post as an anti Dowdle post and saying he didn't have a good game, but that's the furthest thing from my intention and what I'm trying to say. Because that's the comparison you're making with Bryce, it's adding or removing a small handful of plays from their stats and saying "this is the game they could have had instead" I'm literally only talking about the play calling from the game, it's literally in the title of the thread, that we still have play calling problems. I'm saying that people are going to get stuck on the 200 yard rushing game by a player and extrapolate that to "well Canales must have called a good game" and I'm trying to say not to fall for that mirage. Because 6 big runs do not make for a well called game when we had over 60 snaps. Even beyond that, if you add in the two 20+ yard catches from T-Mac and the one XL had, and you're looking at 9 of over 60 snaps that accounted for close to 60% of our yards in the game. That's a few big plays covering up for coaching deficiencies, that's NOT a well called 60 minutes of football. Had he had the 200 yards because Canales' play calling was keeping the defense on their heels, not knowing what we were doing next, and Dowdle was ripping of 8-12 yard runs on a consistent basis, then yea, that would be something to be excited about with Canales finally calling a good game for a change. Our offense is predictable and the play design is basic, there is nothing I've seen out of Canales' offense that says he's able to scheme and call plays to outsmart the defense, which is something all the elite offensive coaches are able to do in this day and age.
