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.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
