First half summary.

its a failure of Dave Canales.   Simple as that.  -2 yards for your starting O.   We once again head into a season with a starting O that flat out isn’t ready for the season.  

Canales should tear his plans up and play these dudes next week 

I mean I doubt it would matter all that much, but if he sits the starters next week then bet your mortgage on the jags week 1.  You cannot clean that type of poo show up in practice

I get what you’re saying, but I just think the overriding factor for me is it just feels like we’re constantly spinning our wheels.  If that is what we were looking for, we had Zane Gonzalez.  We create our own problems and then spend years trying to fix them.

I don't disagree. There's often turnover in places there shouldn't be before there's turnover where it needs to be.

I would about bet on 2 series for the starters Thursday.

Didn’t he say the plan was just to run them only in the first 2 and sit the last? 

I might have that wrong.  Hope I do or he junks the old plan.

But the it’s just going to be a repeat of last preseason.  Where his starters only see success vs backup units going in

Yea 3rd game is usually the bubble guy showcase

You're attaching conventional strategy to a coach who often laughs in the face of that. I could very well be wrong but I bet he comes out and says "we weren't sharp, we'll look at the tape and assess it," then the starters roll out there for the opening series.

Meh, I'm not panicking on the offense yet, especially since both teams opposing beat writers said we looked good in joint practice. Everything we have run is very vanilla, and unfortunately it looks like Canales is one of those coaches who doesn't care about preseason games or effort, which is disappointing. Defense though, continues to look rough and that should be one area in preseason where you just go out and execute

Don't know if I can watch more.

Every commercial break, my service talks about a San Fran documentary pulling Montana for Steve Young and a QB controversy, then Micah P, and then maybe season opener with Rams.. and then some other boring generic European soccer clips. And repeat if the break is longer... 

Gah..  I prefer the US commercials. I want them. Bad. 😂

I think it all is starting to crystallize for me today…  preseason, even in bad years, used to be exciting and fun.  Watching bottom of the roster guys churn and trying to figure out who should and would stick and who deserves a spot.  Watching guys compete.  But as someone said earlier in the thread, the cupboard has been bare for so long, that as shitty as most of the first string is, once they sit, we are so talent-deficient that all interest goes out the window.  Even where we have interesting guys like a Renfrow or Horn Jr., who is gonna get it to them without throwing them a hospital ball?  Plummer?  Other than that, across the board we are so bad that it’s not competitive.  Who cares who sticks as the 53rd man when the 45 or so above them are barely NFL-worthy.

God, we are horrible.  Way worse than we ever have been.

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
