Canales and use of Tight Ends

I’m really confused what’s happened to Canales’ scheme and why the use of tight ends has taken a significant drop in the last few games? Are defenses focused on taking away the tight ends or has Canales done something differently, having them do more blocking? Is it coincidental that it happened ever since the JT Sanders injury?

I'm a bit baffled myself on the lack of production from our TE's not just in recent games, but the season.

Sanders 30 rec, 307 yards, 1 TD

Tremble 21 rec,  204 yards, 1 TD

Thomas 03 rec,  7 yards,     0 TD

Not surprised at the latter guys lack of production. It's what we have come to expect from him.

I thought Sanders would have simply averaged 3 catches a game he should have equaled that production by himself over the course of a 17 game season. I thought he would have been more of a redzone arget as well. I don't know if its the scheme, the guys aren't getting open, or the QB's don't trust them. If the passing game is going to thrive going forward we need to get more production from the TE position.

You would think that next to Theilen, the TE would be option #2, especially in short yardage situations.

Panthers have ran 72.1% of their plays this season out of 11 personnel. League average is 60.4%.

This aligns with Canales' time as the Bucs' play caller (69.4%).

While JT is getting most of the snaps still, Tommy is still getting a healthy share due to his blocking prowess. As JT develops in that regard I can see the team leaning on him more in the passing game as LBs will have to guess whether or not he's blocking or running a route on the play rather than just assume he's doing the latter.

Seems we use who is healthy doing what they can do. Sanders has been hurt and Tremble has missed time as well. Which one besides Sanders resembles a receiver? I doubt Canales avoids using the tightends so much as they rarely win their matchups and too often drop the ball. Isn't hard to see why they aren't targeted  while a guy like Thielen will be on third down. Adam is open and makes ridiculous catches.

largely this.  I mean, AT is sort of eating up a lot of the type balls and area TEs eat at.   Sort of like having a Debo Samuel move into a backfield and start catching a lot of balls and wondering why the RBs are light. 

AT is sort of the Kelce variant in our O in reality.  He just happens to be a WR.

I think its safe to say Canales has done a ton the usual coach speak at this point.  From the we are going to run run run the ball (despite having a top 5 line and top 5 back we are bottom half of rushing yards) to the 2.7 seconds for bryce.   both now seem like complete bullshit

I definitely think that he gets too cute with his play calling at times. Talk about establishing the run but after moving the sticks with Chuba he immediately goes five wide on the very next play damn near every time... -_-

They seem to be learning and adjusting though as the season progresses, so I'm very curious to see how the staff develops as much as I am the players.

He's tasked to play everywhere because the rest cannot. They are limited to specific roles. That limits what you can do on offense.

Hard to be a running football team when you give up the most points in the NFL.

Yes but he does this when we are up on the scoreboard or down on the scoreboard.

His playcalling leaves a lot to be desired. His play designs are usually pretty good but his playcalling is very suspect.

I really feel he needs to be just a HC and not the oc play caller  he isnt  exactly stellar at it 

very few nfl HC coaches can do that role

and he is no Andy Reid 

it is time for him to be the HC so that all parts of the team have one leader who sets the tone vs working in 3 separate solos to ensure the team plays quote ‘our brand of football’ 

whatever that is

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
