For Dave Canales, it's about more than just energy


Recommended Posts

I can't imagine what kind of toxic work place the Rhule era was. Glad that's behind the team now. Canales seems refreshing compared to some of the last coaching staff that they had to deal with. I want to be a little optimistic but I'm holding off until I see how camp plays out. Fool me once.....

Lots of subtle Rhule bashing in that piece. Canales does sound like the real deal and seems to have won over the players. You have to believe that it will eventually translate to a winning program.

But during one rep in practice this spring, one offensive player casually chunked it back in the general vicinity of the huddle, where running back Chuba Hubbard caught it and quickly handed it to Corbett.

Canales blew the whistle. He calmly explained to the entire team that's not what he wanted to see. Then he had them re-rack the play and do it again. No yelling and screaming. Teaching point, emphasized, next rep.

The ball went back to Corbett for the rest of the period. And there's a larger lesson there.

Flashback to touching the DBO sign for a false start and making the entire team run laps when the ball was extended over the goal line in practice.

Megalomaniac, small dick energy from Rhule his entire time here.

a little optimism, positive attitude, and getting buy-in from your co-workers/teammates goes a long way to building successful outcomes.

Not just in sports

Given the last six years the life has been sucked out of this team, its very welcomed. I just hate how it can be very hard to tell if its real, most times it feels faked.

Bottom line, he is gonna have to do some tangible good stuff to back it up. If he has the goods that attitude would be a plus.

    • I mean, the obvious answer to not getting your poo pushed in each week really has nothing to do with the defense. You have to change what you do offensively. Be a ball control offense that wears the other teams defense down while keeping your defense off the field as much as possible. Dominate TOP. Are we gonna make big strides in the W/L category that way? Probably not. It might just slim the margins up slightly. If you just want to not allow as many points, that's really the sole way that is going to happen. 
    • I called Clausen a bust after watching his school tape too. It was ass yet a lot couldn't see how weak his arm was at ND. It was bad. Hurney tried to trade up into the first but couldn't find a partner thankfully. That was the draft they spent their 1st on E Brown in the 2nd the year before lol. The trade up to #1 was a massive dumb idea. A couple of spots is expensive enough but throwing in a legit WR and those picks was too much. If we had Stroud we would be wasting 2 or 3 of his rookie deal years. 1? Ok 2 or 3 or 4 is just a freaking waste of it all. That's when you want to build the team up so when you have to shave some talent off due to that massive QB contract you have options and ideas of where to best do that. Can't do that when you already spent a big chunk of those picks.
    • kungfoo is just .. right. There is no good outcome. It is pick your poison because either will kill you. We can die the way you want or the other way. There is no solution for this with the lineup we are able to run out out on defense.  If we can avoid more season ending injuries and keep the starters that are out there now together then maybe in a few weeks they will have gotten things a little tighter. Maybe. But right now, it is a no win.  Again, 35 second drives, followed by a sub 60 second drive. Maybe I reversed the order it was two games ago... but wtf are you supposed to do with that?
