Canalas Sucks

I'm genuinely asking.  Why was his play calling so bad today?

I actually thought he called a pretty good game today and put the team and Bryce in position to keep the sticks moving.  He didn't put Bryce into many positions to get him killed or force him to play hero ball or force throws.  He also didn't treat Bryce like a scab player and called plays where it was up to Bryce to execute the play call and push the ball downfield. 

Two times we punted on 4th and short much to the amazement of the announcers but both times proved to be the correct call as our defense stopped the Saint and gave us the ball back with great field position.  That lead to 10 of our points.  Not perfect but I don't see what all the pearl clutching is about.

19 rushing attempts to 30 pass, with 4 of those pass calls Bryce took off and ran.  That is a pretty good distribution and didn't abandon either facet of the game.

We have a rookie HC. People are on him for everything. I had more to say but to simplify it...

A bad play call or 20 or clock mismanagement, and everything thing else, are not the main attraction.

The Bryce question is goal one. You have to get that right. He is fixed, he isn't the guy, that question.

If you get that right I forgive the rookie stuff. If you get it wrong you could be the greatest play caller ever, you failed. So I'll wait.

I think the biggest difference between Reich and Canales is the team this year actually tries, they just suck really bad. 

Last year, there was some more talent- mostly on defense. However, they didn't care and there was absolutely zero energy.

Excuse me. Did we just dream the Bears and Commanders blowout losses?

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
