You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

Evero was literally the hottest name at the time for DC but Canales probably doesn’t have a tie in for his own DC.

If Evero is fired it’s probably gonna be an open spot as opposed to someone that Dave has worked with.

And our senior citizen O and D advisors?  Canales was just overly impressed with the Game of Thrones poo show he just had to have them too?  

nothing has ever smelled right about the transition. It really just feels like the Frank era to the Dave era was largely a glorified OC change and little else

Hunter cut was 100% about David Moore getting a spot.  No one was going to snatch up Moore.  Then AT bailed.  

Canales’ little lie has been exposed.   He cut Hunter because he wasn’t in shape somehow out of leftfield …..yet Hunter automatically out there carrying a huge load the minute Theilen burned them.   It was never about the best player making the roster.    Canales wanted Moore to have the spot.

I really don’t think Dave is allowed to pick his defensive staff 

I think some of y'all are just trying to rationalize his fúcked up decisions, but I could be wrong. I don't think I am, but I could be. Everything seems kind of murky, but I still say Canales is responsible.

https://www.panthers.com/news/notebook-ejiro-evero-to-return-as-defensive-coordinator?hl=en-US

 

 

"There was obviously criticism, but Panthers head coach Dave Canales never wavered.

"So even after a rough season for a defense in a constant state of personnel flux, Canales knew who he wanted calling the plays for him on that side of the ball — defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero."

 

Canales is the culprit in my eyes.

 

"I've played against this defense, I've played against it in Seattle with the Rams for a bunch of years, I played against it twice last year," Canales said. "I know what this defense will look like, and I'm committed to that. Ejiro's committed to that, so it's about developing the players that we've brought in and evaluating our schemes. So we have to be able to look at our schemes and be really critical of all those things as well."

I'm critical of Dave Canales and his decision making. I don't believe that he's been a very good coach. It was pointed out to me in another thread that he can only do so much with Bryce. That may be true, but Canales isn't doing his players any favors either. Apparently he seems to think that these guys on offense are mix and match---plug and play. He doesn't seem to fully understand the concept of putting guys in the best position to succeed. I cringe when we are in short yardage, but don't have Chuba in the game. I mean, everyone knows we aren't going to QB-sneak it which puts the runner already at a disadvantage, so why not use your power guy. Hell, I suspect Etienne has more power than Rico Dowdle.  Anyway...

I'm glad that I ain't the only one that thinks DC is just misusing personnel. Tim Donnelly speaks to some of the things I've been thinking, and he's as frustrated as I am with the way that some of our players are being used. 

He starts by saying, in so many words, to not be fooled by fool's gold. But he basically goes into the fact that DC isn't doing his damned job.

*Sigh*

without the panthers havinf a hall of fame rb no coach can win with byoung.  not sure if its in the video or another ome but he read off the stats for young when panthers were within one score over the first 2 games was like 9 19 70 yards 0 tds several fumbles and ints just really awful.

I think Canales caught lightning in a bottle for his success with Geno Smith and Bayer Mayfield. I actually think the Qbs carried him a little, look at those QBs now who are still playing at a decent level without him. I think Canales only got the job because he is buddy buddy with Dan Morgan. Canales is still very raw as a HC, he was an OC for only one season and we hired him based on his success with Baker and Geno. 

The team just looks so unprepared each and every week and that falls on the HC for poor preparation. I think he is a good OC, but that's about it.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...

      Canes vs Leafs 7pm

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Canes are so fascinating. Despite inconsistent defense and poor goalie play they keep winning.

      The team store should re-release Dan Morgan's jersey.

      I like Morgan's approach but I'll wait for a few winning seasons before giving too much praise.
