I just hope these guys are innovative.  It is crazy to watch us run plays that are outdated and easy to defend.  It's frustrating to watch other teams run some pretty cool plays, and I am not talking gadget plays only, and we run a vanilla offense.

I look forward to Canales getting our O-Line straight with the players we already have and draft a couple of weapons for Young.  He sorely needs them. 

 

Completely agreed!

Apparently, he’s an amazing WR coach.

he has also been on teams who featured Evans/Godwin and Lockett/Metcalf as the starting WRs.   So, his teams have not been short on talent at both starting spots.   

he walks into a team that doesn't have an actual 1 or 2.

He may be a reason we’re talking about these folks still. 
 

Now I do realize Evans and Metcalf are absolute beasts, but we’ve seen plenty of physically talented receivers fizzle out.

He inherited them with the Bucs no doubt, but in Seattle he helped draft/develop those WRs with Canales.

This feels too much like rhule, hiring a bunch of people who never had their NFL role. If you go down the list of rumored assistants, they are all like carales. The lot of them have been ONLY assisting the coaching staff. Hes had the chance to hire from both bucs and seahawks coaching staffs, but hes picking mostly 2nd&3rd tiers. Just disappointing. This OC guy coached the bucs WRs one year, his time at seattle was spent getting coffee and drying footballs for the QBs. The guy tapped for STs, was a ST coach for one whole year in 2020. The OL guy only has 4 years helping hold pads. Again just like carales career assistants to assistant coaches... 

 

 

I get this will be a yearS rebuilt and all. Just the only hyped hire is #2 GM tilis...

If people can argue Moore is a true 1, Theilen must be at the very least a 2 if not a close true 1, especially with Young.

But I somewhat agree on your premises because I believe both a 2s. I think Theilen would absolutely thrive with a true 1 here. But he is getting old so that window is closing if not closed after this season.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
