Some summer fluff for your hump day.

Carroll and Canales convos, decent read.  Not learning a ton new, but it's something I guess haha.  Didn't realize Carrrol's son is here, must've missed that hire.

Quote

"He's way better prepared as a young head coach than I was," Carroll said by phone last week. "I was totally unprepared. It took me a while — I had to get kicked around enough before I got going. He's got a much better runway to starting this. He's well-versed, he knows what's going on, he's very articulate. 

"So much of it is how well you can convey the message, and he's a really good communicator. I'm totally jacked about watching him, because he's ready to go."

Quote

Carroll said no Seahawks assistant understood the system better than Canales.

"He has the background, the understanding, the philosophy and the principles, all of that," Carroll said. "He gets to use whatever he wants to. We did a lot of winning, a lot of good things, had our hardships, so he's had a really well-rounded experience."

There is absolutely no love lost for me regarding the Seattle Seahawks. But if Pete Carrol is saying things like this about Canales I will certainly listen and put some stock in it.

I'd love to see Dave have a coaching run here like Pete has had. No matter how I may feel about their franchise more often than not he generally always had them competing hard regardless of circumstances.

but the coaching gurus on here say he’s in over his head. 

That's not the phrasing I would use.  I don't think he has the QB to run the O he will run.  And you just have to look back 1 season to see how that goes. 

made a competent vet HC look like he had had never been around football before.

I'm pretty sure you have stated concerns about him being a first year HC after only being an OC once and wanting to call plays.  I would say that is thinking he is in over his head regardless of the QB situation.  I'm not saying you are wrong either as it is a valid concern.  Hopefully we show some patience with him to see what he can do.

Twice!

Plus Seattle didn't even gift him a HC interview.

But but but he was loved dearly by Pete and Seattle......hogwash!!

Maybe not enough experience yet? They seemed to keep him around until another team offered him a promo, so they didn’t think too badly of him. WR coach to passing game coordinator to QB coach.

Maybe. You know he wanted that OC gig each time, I believe the last time they even stated he interviewed for the role. This was during the whole youth movement that mccvay started as well. 

Honestly I was hoping Seattle would have cut ties with pete, he would have been great here in a top mentor role. I don't think its talked about enough, they did Pete wrong. He made them a great NFL team for the first time in their history and gave them a SB. He's still in great shape by all reports and they just decided to go young. They even removed most of his pictures and quotes in the building. Sorta like what the pats did to bill, but waay worse. 

I guess I have too much loyalty for the new times, no chance either should been to out for retirement..

Pete ain't been right since he leaned on Wilosn and lost a SB. Great coach but still

He was very mistakenly trying to appease Russell Wilson. They both got what they deserved. The only one in that I felt remotely bad for was Marshawn Lynch. Without him they don't make either title run. He was the engine of that team.

But he was his own man and they wanted their guy to be the hero. Can't fault him longterm for going with the QB over a RB but that SB showed he would chose his way to lose vs doing what it takes to win another one.

      Why not? Dude was tough as nails. Came off the field after a vicious hit and showed the coach how his ring finger was knocked out of socket halfway up. You could see the shock on Fox's face. Brad just  pulled  on the finger, grimaced, got it back in alignment and went back in for the next play and blew up an opposing linebacker or two. Dude is legendary.

      Motown let on like he'd like to play at least another 5 years in his presser. I fell he was truthful and us fans over did his knee. The guy started like 108 starts in a row and only missed like 2 games over each of the past years.  I think as long as the team agrees with his value that Motown has, he will sign another contract extension to push the void years into the 2030s.  OLmen can play at high levels up til 40. Trent williams is doing it, Richie Incognito leftd and came back to play until he hit 38. Lane Johnson is still playing at a top level while 38. You member Greg Van Roten, he's somehow still playing at 36 and he started here after being a substitute teacher years before. If you are able to get over the 32 year bump, its possible to reach 38 with luck. Colleges do a poor job of preparing new OLmen, many times that vet is better.   Rams were begging Andrew Whitworth to come back while he was 39, if you got the genes, luck and still willing to put in the hard work....it is possible to play until 38 as a OLmen*starting level*

      Shaq was a fantastic LB, he just happened to have been standing in the shadow of a Panthers great and a Hall of Famer. He was team-lead starter quality for all 32 teams of the NFL. Don't throw shade on him, he was never just a guy.
