Interviews: Round Two


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Canales is an incredibly uninspiring candidate, especially considering the other options available. If it wasn't Tepper making the decision I may have more of an open mind but if we hire him it'll just reinforce my lesser opinion of him. As always I'll watch the team and be hopeful come week 1 but it won't last long if we can't start winning.

I agree, just saying I don't know if 6 spot difference should be that much of a knock on Canales. And with rookie phenom QBs, it's hard to tell how much is the coordinator vs the QB himself (a la Cam, Luck, Mahomes, Burrow, etc). The difference between 14 and 20 was only 4.6% whereas the difference between 14 and 12 was 5.2% alone so they were closer performance wise than the raw rankings might suggest.  

I prefer Johnson the most of the offensive coaches, but im kind of surprised we havent heard more about Monken around the league as a candidate somewhere.  He has experience and a proven track record and looks great statistically on almost all metrics.  I get hes not one of the young guys anymore but still, hes got plenty of coaching left.

For what it's worth, as of today we will have satisfied the Rooney Rule and can make a hire at any point.

Think theres any chance that happens? It just seems weird theres been no talk of any other candidates... especially after Tepper has been clearly chasing Johnson.

Still think we'll try to interview Johnson and the others after this weekend but you never know.

If we hire Canales this week then that would be incredibly stupid

Yeah I agree, I like Canales, but hes not at risk of going elsewhere, you can do the due diligence of meeting in person with some of the higher demand guys and if you decide you like him the most, then hire him. The only ones they may need to move quicker on would be Morris/Eviro if they wanted to go that route, but I feel like most teams want to at least meet with Johnson, MacDonald, Glenn etc

There hasn't been a single report that we are attempting to get a second interview with BJ. I'm 99.9% sure he politely told us to kick rocks after our virtual meeting.

I haven’t heard anything about second interviews for him with anyone. Any other teams we know of that I’ve missed?

Are we the only team interested in him?

The Falcons have requested a second.

And the Commanders are flying to him

Meanwhile we are going to announce Canales today, because Tepper.

    • I am blown away at how bad we have been with the picks we've made. For all the hand wringing about "getting worked" in trade ups, etc. is small fries in comparison to the absolute trash picks we've made. Hit on even half of the picks and this team is 8-8 or better. Just like in most industries the "fun" parts of the job are always overrun with incompetents (due to favortism and politics) when you have a bad leader. Look at Dallas. Jerry wants so bad to be involved in talent acquisitions that the team eternally sucks. Same for us. 
    • I honestly think the huddle would run this organization better. We would draft better for sure. How is that possible when these guys devote their careers to it?
    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.
