thanks for the link, but this part doesnt really make any sense.   What is he trying to say here?  What does he mean the flip side?  Just odd wording

Y'all... There's a video with Coach Canales giving his answer. Why link a tweet from the media who's incentivized to get you to click by any means necessary?

I swear some folks just want to be upset. 💀

Joe asks the question @ 2:20.

Person: "Is there a chance that you might just not have Bryce play in any of these games?"

Canales: "That could be. Ya know, I keep going back and forth with that because there's some value to like, just allowing him to play with Austin, you know? And then there's also the flip side of which we know, ya know. We're counting on those guys, and ya know, its, that's another approach too and different teams have different philosophies for how they *connection jumps* that's kind of what I've been wrestling with, Joe."

Sounds like pure meaningless coachspeak to a leading question.

 

But nothing would surprise me with this team any more.

My impression is that he sees the value in Young getting more snaps with Corbett but understands the argument for sitting starters during preseason games.

As @Old Depot pointed out, joint practices are a factor to consider. From everything they have said, it sounds like they're looking to evaluate down the roster for the first two preseason games before treating the third as a dress rehearsal depending on how things looked during the joint sessions vs the Jets.

I'm guessing the flip side is him getting injured in a "meaningless" preseason game?

This is true. But what about the vets the rookies the guys looking to secure a spot and just fighting to sustain an NFL career? Everyone is risking something. It's just not a good look for the locker room considering it's well known we aren't exactly brimming with leadership.

Preseason is no longer what it used to be.  I think with an extra regular season game and coaches liking joint practices a lot more the norm is going to be that Starters don't play preseason games at all.

Putting Bryce out there with anything less than our starting offensive line would be downright criminal.

If there were still 4 preseason games I think we'd see Bryce in the usual way we saw starters in each game in the past.

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.

Idk about other fans, but I'm very much okay with having a motivated Clowney replacing Burns.

Only scary thing is how much is Clowney and how much is our garbage pass protection.   We will find out soon I guess.

They're just keeping a lid on the poo show for as long as they can.  Keep pumping out good vibes and sell as many tickets as you can before you have to compete with fans selling theirs.  

Everyone about to figure out that Bryce is a lot more like Zach Wilson than Peyton Manning.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
