We played a good deal of Wide 9 in Rhule's first year. Didn't really watch much this past season, but Barno may be able to eat in that scheme. 

I love the wide 9 for Barno. Watching jim schwartz Ds will make people a believer of wide 9. Not going to get my hopes up in any way, I do feel he needs to be locked in the weight room for 1 year with nothing but brown rice and lean meat.

So, a lot of vt fans think if you ask him to be a 3-4 OLB/Joker, he's gonna be special. If you ask pure hand in the dirt, no, seen that, gets washed out of plays waaaay too easily. Haynes (resigned) is the guy he is like/has to beat out as the designated pass rusher and ST guy. I do think he was in the wrong system at VT, and that OL could push him out of the way too easily as VT had zippo size inside to take a lick of focus off Barno.

IIRC he set a ton of hokie strength and conditioning records at VT, and might not have that huge bulk people think he can add. Don't assume he can just add mass/bulk/muscle waist down and get to 270lb. Reports from a few scouts are he is just gonna be a bit undersized and doesn't have the frame to add to. Idk if that's 100% accurate but I'm not sold he's going to just put on 30lb and transform as a player at this point.

His ways to make the squad are designated rusher (and actually finish when he gets position) and coverage teams for ST. Maybe as a speed rush to attack punter/kicker cause of the length/speed combo. 

For the round, it's a lotto ticket. Big boom if everything hits, ST, practice squad specialist if he doesn't.

      Canalas’ play calling next week

      Who believes after Rico went off that Dave will go back to Chuba, go very pass happy again, run Chuba 7 times, and give Rico 5 carries?   he has a weird obsession with wanting to pass it over and over with Bryce.

      I never once said I believed in Sam. Only that he’s proof that the Jets and Panthers are bad organizations. You spent all that time on me. I’m flattered.

      Story of the year. Get down massively to Arizona, look like your first NFL game to throwing for more than 300 yards and getting the team to within 40 yards of a come back win. Get down 17-0 to Miami, execute the offense to outscore the Dolphins 27-7 the rest of the way. Defeat the Falcons 30-0 throwing for like 150 yards. Personally, I think it would be great to have retained Darnold. Darnold in this scheme with Canales would instantly make this team a contender for the NFC South. However that didn't happen.  I don't know what you do because when they run game gets shut down, and it will get shut down, you have to depend on Bryce to play efficiently. On one third down ball to someone (I forget who), when he was rolling out and made that throw close to the sideline to convert, the TV people would talking about how special that was. What I saw was another receiver streaking all alone 45 yards downfield, with about 5 yards of separation. Even while rolling out, an average QB is able to deliver that ball, signed, and sealed for a touchdown. Bryce's lack of deep ball ability is the achilles heel to this offense and it's something that can't be fixed.  I would love to be able to draft Carson Beck. I think he took a lot of crap at UGA which now seems unwarranted. Looking at how inefficient their offense is now compared to how it was with Beck at QB, and now how he has gone into the system Cam Ward was in and outperformed him massively in just pure execution and efficiency, along with the physical traits, tells me he will be a Top 3 pick. We won't have a Top 3 pick though. So what do we do? I have no idea. Canales is too good of an offensive coach for us to get a Top 3 pick and Bryce is inconsistent enough to get us a Top 10 pick. So absent finding a guy like Nix with tons of experience and good enough measurables, which requires great evaluations, I just think we are stuck.
