He moved protection to the weak side of an overload blitz and proceeded to never acknowledge two uncovered defenders, the last thing he needs is more freedom.

Yeah, he should have left Sanders on the left side. But to be fair, he probably didn't think everyone was coming like they did. But they didn't have enough blockers on either side, so really more of a pick your poison. He chose wrong. But after the snap, the receivers should have recognized that all of the DBs were blitzing, and broke off their routes.

Impossible to know for sure, but the free pass rusher was possibly there just to cover Miles on a check down route and when Bryce called Sanders back to protect in the gun, the guy was like ok fug it I'll just blitz? Even if he was planning on blitzing from the beginning, Miles would have been wide open for a check down.

Yep, in hindsight he should have kept Miles over there. But there were 2 WRs on that side. The nearest DB was like 15 yards deep after the guys on the line blitzing. No way he should have blitzed. But he did. They all did. WRs didn't recognize it. I can't put that one all on Bryce. There were plenty of other missed throws that he has to make throughout the game though. But that one, was just being outcoached and unprepared - by the receivers.

Yeah. Ultimately I think it looked DOA and someone should have just called a timeout after Bryce glances at the free blitzer after Sanders moved back to the gun. I personally can't expect one of these WR's basically running go routes to go rogue and run a 5 yard comeback route/crosser or whatever at 3rd and 11 with 5 seconds on the play clock

If he could throw from the pocket they wouldn't need so many extra blockers and would have more than 3 receiving options. Youngs limitations put everything into a corner.

It's also why running out of the formations he can run won't work well enough. It's all a dead end. There is no way to fix that with Young.

I can’t remember, was it reported last year that Reich wouldn’t let him change things either? 

They took it off the table early I think. Like week 2 or 3?

Not sure what he can change tho. Less people blocking as he runs back out of protection? Take one blocker & 1 rusher out of that play and nothing really changes but maybe a 1 yard play?

You would think these reporters would ask those questions. Canales today seemed to indicate it was his fault. 

There were several instances where there was a dump off route on the blitz and he didn't even look that way before he was sacked because he had no idea the blitz was coming.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
