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.

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.

    • Calling carrier for getting punched in the nose just to keep us from a 5 on 3
    • I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty
    • And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
