I would imagine it's a bit of a shock after having been in Southern California and Minnesota all his life,  having missed almost all of last year, and recovering from surgery. He just needs to stay healthy and he will be fine. The talent is there.

A couple of observations...

*The reason I don't believe in Funchess is because he really struggles to get separation.  Yeah, he had a good day in 1 on 1s, but as they repeatedly said, the defense isn't expected to win those, and even with that being the case, the window to throw to him is to tight, it is frustrating to watch.  Then, once they went to 7s and 9s, I heard nothing else about Funchess.  A late tweet said both he and KB were having good "team drills," but no tweets identifying Funchess specifically once they began team drills.  I just think he disappears too often and again, his inability to create definitive separation is frustrating...  Just my take.

*Matt Kalil seems to be doing a lot better the last few days, but is it just me, or on those video clips tweeted out, specifically the one of him vs Addison, did he not false start?  It appeared he moved well before anyone else, which IIRC, he had issues with at times in Minny when facing speed rushers.

Hearing Kalil doing well really does put me more at ease. I think his main problem is being explosive enough to go against speed rushers, and looks like he's handling them really well.

I think we may have found our franchise LT if he keeps this up through the seasons. 

FIFY

Are you watching in person, or are you just going by these tweets? I ask because I have most definitely seen Funchess get separation in real games.

Also, I think Corn may have lost himself a roster spot to Cole Luke.  And I am going to have an extremely hard time not calling him Luke Cole the rest of the season.  Two first names, FTW...

I know, we need a nickname for Cole Luke, especially since Luuuuke is always just referred to by his first name.  Agree Elder's injury jeopardizes his spot.  Cole Luke has shown up when it mattered so far.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
