This overbearing response to a rookie in his first camp is corny and embarrassing. You'd almost be under the mistaken impression this was a competitive football franchise. Where was our defense ranked again last year? When was the last time we had a winning season?

No. I've seen plenty of freak injuries in my time, and that includes hands, wrists and fingers. He needs to follow the rules period. Canales was absolutely right to send this type of message. There's a time for touching the QB, and training camp is not one of them. Any teammate should easily understand why you shouldn't hit the QB.

He made a play. Nothing happened. He's a rookie. He's learning.

As a fan who is tired of this team embarrassing us and themselves I'm inclined to be more concerned about the starting QB turning the ball over twice already. If we don't protect the football it's going to be another long season.

Chastising the rookie isn't a big deal either. It seems that you just are making much ado about nothing in your zeal to criticize Canales. This is TC. We're going to see all kinds of turnovers and other mistakes. It's not a real concern at this point.

Couple things.

One. I've been pretty vocally pro Canales all things considered.

Two. Protecting the football is absolutely a real concern. The 6 total turnovers (not including another fumble that was luckily recovered) Bryce Young has in the first two games of 2023 and 2024 very much confirm this.

College is different.

 

You do not touch the money. QB is the top money.

Why are you all worried about his hand?

It's a UCL injury you would be worried about with this, not his fuging hands. 

For the love of The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Bryce needs to be rushed early and often. Assuming our offensive line is as good as it should be, it will make game day that much easier.

I already basically said why, but here is some more food for thought:

 Yes, a "harmless" strip sack can lead to some bad outcomes, and we don't need unnecessary possibilities of unnecessary problems.

If Bryce had broken a finger you’d be whistling a different tune

Did Prince know he screwed up? Of course he does, but damnit I appreciate the hustle, and I bet the rest of the team does as well. This is going to be a different year. 

I wonder if it was getting chippy out there since Dave called practice off early

He's been showing out and is very well ahead of Nick S at this point in the orgs eyes

We desperately need edgy (see what I did there) players. He heard a lot of names get called before his in the draft. I hope he hated every second of that. I want him to try to cleanly beat every one of our o linemen like they owe him money…. Just not our QB. 

Ickey needs all the practice he can get at handling speed guys with the Bucs picking up Reddick.

Said it when we drafted him, but I think Nick S could be a Charles Johnson type. Johnson obviously had a couple great seasons, but he was never the star...just damn good. Good against the run and getting 7-8 sacks a year would be a godsend. 

Princely has the upside so love to see your post. Who knows how he'll be against the run, but if we're going to get a double digit sack guy, it's him IMO. 

Now let's just hope and pray they both hit.
