I'd say Moore is the next most versatile already being familiar with this system but he's just a guy. Maybe Thompkins for similar reasons but everything I've seen tells me he's really more of a decoy to get other guys open. 

After that, you have Tremble followed by a massive drop-off with the three rookies in XL/Coker/JT, all who get a fair amount of snaps together. Hopefully, getting a lot of experience now will speed things up for year two but it's certainly hampering things on the short term. 

Part of me thinks that need to give the the rookies the reps on the field sneaks into the playcalling. Like how Canales really wanted XL out there for the Bucs game and he ends up getting a lot of targets. A little surprised JT isn't getting that type of focus but it's possible they are working him more with blocking since he had issues with holding calls earlier in the year.

I think they decided to go with the rookies when they traded Johnson. If even 1 of the rookies would step up Theilen could work the defense to help them. As it is now he has to be our offensive threat all by himself.

This.

Chuba will have 2-3 gashing runs in a row. 10+ yard variety. The defense hasn’t had a chance to change personnel, and then he’ll call 3 low percentage passes in a row. 3rd and 3? Bomb it, son. Ok, now punt. Our defense is tired. In the blink of an eye they’re now down 17 -0 instead of the game being potentially 10-7 had he just continued to do the obvious. Good job being down 3 scores instead of 1. He gets allergic to the run at the worst possible time. 

He definitely feels himself, frequently. Thielen and Chuba have bailed him out time and time again. 

Yeah, I mean one of the best ways to handle a suspect defense is to grind the opponent to paste with a dominant rushing attack. Which....we are literally built for.

Using the Dallas game as an example, Canales abandoned the run before the game was even out of hand after a few poor drives and allowed their pass rushers to do what they do best. Even Micah Parsons mentioned this himself. Additionally, I don't know if I have ever seen Canales run the ball on a third and short.

The feeling I get is that he is in over his head as a play caller and needs to pass it on to someone else.

Hubbard had only 4 fewer carries on 3rd and short than Derrick Henry did.  He had as many as Bijan Robinson and 2 fewer than Josh Jacobs.

Yeah, I don’t know what the statistics are. But if I had to guess, I would guess that most of Chuba opportunities come on goal line situations. Either way Canales playcalling in short situation don’t pass eyeball test.

We are averaging 290 yards a game, almost dead last but hey that is up from 265 last year.  So I guess technically you are correct

He has Bryce Young at QB, there's really not a great deal you can do.

I don't really have a problem with his play calling - the plays are often there to be made.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
