underdogs Juventus were teased unmercifully about being the team in the Champions League final four that the other three all hoped they got matched up against

my Juve fan buddy was feeling down about it, especially after their lackluster performance against Monaco in the Elite Eight after a dominant performance againt Dortmund in the Round of 16

I was telling him nobody wants to face Juventus in Turin, where Juventus has only lost 4 times since they opened their brand-new stadium in 2011 (three losses in Series A, one in CL to Bayern Munich)

and Juve, with their new coach, switched to more CL-friendly tactics than the CL-unfriendly tactics Conte employed before leaving Juve to become the new coach of the Italian National Team

nobody wants to face the Juve D, which is world-class and the best of the remaining teams

Juve's midfield is loaded and is as good or better than any of the remaining teams

and TEVEZ is a World Class striker. Their biggest flaw is not having that very very good #2 striker (young Morata is promising, Llorente is above average but still pretty meh)

and even without the young and electric Pogba, Juve takes the 1st leg with a 2-1 legendary victory in Turin!

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.

      I guess you missed the point. His rushing attack was dead last yet his team still performed. That’s not Fox/Rivera ball. His QB also had a career year. Remember the same QB that played for us in the same division and was so bad he was cut?  Carroll coached after Lynch as well. In fact Canales was more involved in the more recent offense with Geno Smith and a good rushing attack. People are taking him wanting a rushing attack and assuming that means we are shutting down our passing attack. Again many of the top offenses like SF, Miami, and Detroit featured strong rushing attacks.
