Don't get the rush.

Wasn't the Panthers the only team to interview Canales?

Would at least like to kick the tires on Mike Vrabel and do in person interviews with Monken and Macdonald.

Tepper locks in on a guy nobody else interviewed.

 

Just shows you how bad he is at making hires. I knew it would be a HC nobody was mentioning. Dude has 1 yr experience and that's enough for Tepper.

Bucs fans are happy he’s gone. Doesn’t inspire confidence whatsoever. 

 

Totally underwhelming GM/coach combo. Tepper is going to have to get super lucky 

You must be seeing a small number of Bucs fans. Most I’ve seen wanted him there a long time.

One thing that is going for him... Pete Carrol is one of the best culture builders to ever do it. He's the rare type that could do it both in college and NFL which means his system truly works. Pete hired Canales to USC from COMMUNITY COLLEGE and has followed him everywhere and worked his way up until he left for the Bucs. That's almost 15 years of seeing exactly how Pete does team building at different stops. Gotta imagine a lot of that stuck with Canales.

I get it. This just feels impatient to me.

Who were you hoping to get? Let's assume Ben Johnson has already bowed out. 

For me, I wasn't a fan of Vrabel, felt like he was an overrated HC. I wanted Harbaugh (think you made pretty clear you didn't). Mike Macdonald I think is an intriguing candidate and would've loved to see him get a second interview, but then again he also only has one year (this year) of NFL DC experience. Not sure what his plan for OC coming in (and for what he would do if that OC got poached in year 1/2) would be. I don't think Monken ever made much sense for a variety of reasons (mostly mediocre results except for when he had 5 star talent at UGA and an MVP QB in Lamar).

I was never on the Belichick or Quinn train personally. Slowik I'd have been okay with, but you have a similar situation with Canales and only one year of OC experience. Bengals moved quickly on Callahan. After that you're pretty much left with Morris or Evero if not Canales.

Everyone knows we are going to stink in 2024. We don’t have the draft picks and current talent to make some amazing leap like the Rams did this year. They had a fantastic draft but they also still had Stafford, Kupp, Donald, etc. to build around and Williams was drafted in 2022. We will need at least a solid draft in 2024 and 2025 (maybe QB).

It all comes down to Morgan and his team. If we get more of his BFF Fitterer type drafting, we’ll be bad for a long time.

The standard for Canales should be exactly as it was for Reich - steady and visible improvement thorughout the season with little to no regard for the overall record. If the team (players and staff alike) compete, grow, and show themselves to be strategically competent, then as long as they end 2024 playing much better football than they did at the start it's a positive season. If they don't then the leash should continue to be short, and if things carry along this same trend as this year we'll know that Tepper is an even more massive moron than he has appeared thus far.

On a similar note, I wish Tepp would pay Pete a billion dollars to come on in some sort of advisory role.

If he’s the guy, why wait? Coordinator candidates are important as well and getting hired by other teams while we wait.

I'd at least like to have given a second interview to Johnson. But hell, even if not Johnson, one of the Ravens guys.

Not that huge a fan of Vrabel, worried he'd be more style over substance.

All in all, give him that nobody else was pursuing Canales, I don't get the rush to hire him.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
