Canales and Morgan at the combine

So now Bryce is going to play under center as opposed to a near 100 percent from the gun. If you're going to do a lot of play action, it means "under center," right?

We'll see how all this works out. Canales knows more than me, but it kinda seems like pushing a square peg into a round hole. But, I guess I should quell skepticism in favor of optimism...I guess...

You can technically run play action from shotgun, it's just not as convincing. Almost more like an RPO with pass blocking instead of run blocking. Either way If he truly believes Bryce doesn't need a big fix we're screwed

I remember the days when playing under center was the norm and shotgun was unusual.  

I think it would be a dramatic change for Young but they need to drill this over and over until it he's comfortable.

well, I don't walk away from that talk/plan of action thinking that our new HC believes Bryce Young was a #1 overall give up the farm type QB.   

Any HC in 2024 that is putting his emphasis on running the rock and seeing what happens imo doesn't believe they drafted  someone that has "it".

might as well just trade Bryce Young while his value is still high.  That's not building an O for your #1 overall pick. 

but worth noting, that isn't his QB or pick.  That's the former HC/GMs pick.

So sounds like we're going to try and run a 10 year old Seahawks offense but without the scramble/deep throws that actually made it interesting. Every time Bryce rolled out Wilson style he just threw the ball out of bounds instead of launching one

We also don't have Marshawn Lynch.  But yeah, Wilson scrambling out and gambling big downfield is what made that whole paring work.   Not to mention the historic D.   I hate when teams trying to model after other teams personally.   I think Fitterer is the one that started the let's be like Seattle mindset.  We don't need to try to mimic that formula.

We dont even know if Wilson style is even possible because the WR were so bad at scramble drills, Mingo would run full speed out of bounds

I think it’s more of the Bama offense with some tweaks. Trying to play to Young’s strengths. He will obviously need weapons regardless, but the PA and bootlegs just keep the defense honest and can help the OL.

After a great rookie year, he was a second year player playing a cerebral position in a poo show of an offense last year.

Quickly jump to bad conclusions much? 

You do realize he was a large part of the poo show, right? I don’t know if he can be fixed but the Ily I watched was not even getting a hand on many speed rushers. Not even a hand. No issues with play calling or confusion on who to block or Young or WRs lack of separation, Iky was just plain getting roasted 1 on 1.

Pretty much just sitting down to go through this today but did either morgan or DC say if we are staying with zone blocking or what?

Feel like they are gonna regret that. 

Not me.  His problems are technique and confidence.  When the light comes on, he will  be good.  He was not as bad as people here made him out to be--even as the 2023 LT, he was probably the second best OL He has a lotta work to do.  If we add to the roster, it would be interesting to see us add a LG and make BC a swing T who can play G.

    • This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.  
    • I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it. 
    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
