Harbingers

This team will be a perennial contender unless Waddell fugs it up. They have youth, talent, cap space and a very good farm system.

Granted, there will come a time when they can't keep all of their studs- Aho, TT, Svech, Nino, Necas- but look at how well Pacquette, Fast and Hakanpaa have fit right in.

It sucks to lose to this team. It makes no sense to get dominated by a team like this. Eventually we just have to make the most of our situation and be better than we can. 

Wouldn't say dominated. Nashville got some breaks. We haven't. Little sloppy in transition but our PP is solid.

This is a different team than the one we dominated the season series against. NSH got decimated by injuries this season.

Unlikely we win another game so "dominated" is on the table.

At the end of the day, we need to dominate. That has to be the thing we exhibit in 2022.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
