That looked a good 5-10 yards short but can't see where the end zone/ sideline would be

Under thrown for sure. He allowed Woods to catch up to the ball. Bryce has had like 5 passes like that already in training camp. He has a weak arm.

I mean there are hella starters who don't play a lick of preseason.  Rams are notorious for it.  

Maybe Bryce should play, but whether he does or doesn't won't make a lick of difference in the locker-room.  Everyone understands this is a business and the starters will be protected more than the back-ups.

Yeah most of them are established players where the dress rehearsal isn't even worth the time.  They'll gain nothing from it except risk injury.  I'm not convinced that's the case for Young.  If anything, he should be getting a healthy amount of reps to get ready.  That's what I would think.  Our offense doesn't seem ready.  I wouldn't be opposed to the Steve Spurrier preseason strategy of keeping the starters in another half a quarter or so.  It seems like they need it.  The line, the QB, the receivers.  All of it.

I'm not a coach but this doesn't smell good.

I've followed this team since 2003 and what I've picked up along the way is that what the team shows during training camp and pre-season is indicative of their performance during the season. From what I'm seeing, the outlook for this year is not so good and a huge reason for that is QB1. 

This is sadly 100% true. Well stated

I was too late thinking of it to add it to the earlier post about the depth of the OL etc... 

Pretty sure I heard that Canales tore down the Tampa OL and rebuilt it according to his ... preferences (is that true?), and some players ended up at different positions.

Telling me he is not orthodox about some things.

this is a for instance... probably there is a lot out there that might tell us something. Although he could change his tune as he is not a fully formed entity.

If Bryce doesn't play this preseason and then looks bad at the start of the regular season I'm already out on the coaching staff and now Tepper is 0 for 3 in 5 years

However this could be the grand scheme to get the #1 pick and start over again. If they know Bryce is not it in training camp, then they are screwed regardless

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
