I was thinking if I was an offensive lineman and I was in earshot of that I might be a little offended that coach is telling a big guy in the crowd to leave his name with someone at the stadium if he can play o-line, but most if not all the players were long gone by the time he came out and made that comment.

I don't think he meant it as mockery, I think he was just trying to be friendly, but I can see how it sounded bad from a certain perspective.

Yeah, I read that more as a testament to your size and height rather than a slight against his players. Like a basketball coach seeing a seven foot tall guy at a restaurant and asking him if he can shoot a free throw.

Not really an indictment of his linemen (although they are hurting this year in a big way), more of friendly banter.

I think it is hilarious especially coming from Fox. Fox historically hasn't exactly been the joking type. I actually hope some of the O-Line heard it. I think when things go bad these players don't read the paper or watch the news and stay around the house with friends that tell them how great they are. They need a reality check.

Good point, if Fox recruiting offensive linemen from the crowd doesn't motivate you, nothing will.

I mean how offended could the OL get? They are playing like they were on the street last week except for maybe Kalil.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
