Canales - COULD ANY WEEK 1 RUST BE ATTRIBUTED TO NOT PLAYING STARTERS FOR MOST OF PRESEASON?

“It all matters. It all counts. And so that’s something that we gotta think about. But again, we had an opportunity today to play football. We played a lot of football, particularly on defense. We played a lot of football. So we’ll learn a lot from just being able to get this group together and work off each other.”

I said all along it would work out fine if your team comes out looking at least competent and competitive. Don't necessarily need a win just need to give hope. But the other side to the coin is a horrific blow out loss. Well....Dave has earned himself his first heaping portion of criticism.

I hope that’s parody, but it is scary that I can’t tell

Not playing the starters together in a game situation with so many new faces is stupidity 

I mean yea we all know that. But hey guy is admitting he has more to learn. I have this feeling that Tepper is telling him not to play starters because it’s been a theme in the previous coaches like Rhule in particular.

He and Kamala should get together. “Today, we played football. And football is a game, ya know? HAHAHAHA. Anyway, they play this game, football, on a field, with a ball, and we did that today. We played. And we, you know, have cameras that record it. So, you know what cameras do? Okay, good. Yeah, we will use what cameras do, an we will, like, watch the recording, like this one time I was a kid”. 
 

this game was awful and I am in no way surprised.

I hate sounding like the bitter old guy but  I remember when training camp was more like boot camp and not vacation Bible school.

2 a days, full pads full contact conditioning the bodies for the rigors of an NFL regular season.  Did injuries happen?  Sure and it sucked but guys were ready week 1.

The CBA and these soft ass poo boys have ruined a great sport.

I will say we were not the only team that looked ineffective and out of it.

Honestly, as hard as it's going to be for the fans, we need to give Dave time to learn to be an NFL Head Coach.  That's just how I'm looking at things right now.

well i like Canales I honestly do but at  the same time he has no buisness this early in his career  being. a head coach in the NFL

100%. This and all the in-game rule changes in the name of "safety" but really just to increase offense to pander to the general public morons who want to see skills clinics more akin to flag football in 56-53 games rather than pure football. I'm nowhere near a boomer but I'm sounding like one and have no shame about it. Football has gone way downhill in the last decade+

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
