Who believes after Rico went off that Dave will go back to Chuba, go very pass happy again, run Chuba 7 times, and give Rico 5 carries?

 

he has a weird obsession with wanting to pass it over and over with Bryce. 

Canales' offense is meant to be ran by a gunslinger.  Unfortunately he is stuck with game manager Bryce.  So in order to run the ball more, he has to change his whole game plan.  Most coaches are too prideful to change their style like that.  I wish Canales would just simply bench Bryce and put in the Red Rifle.

It's not going to matter if the Panthers run or pass. They just need to figure out something that works because Dallas is probably going to have their way with the Panthers defense. They'll probably put up 30-40 points easily. The Panthers probably won't unless they run out to a big early lead and can force Dallas into beating themselves with mistakes. 

Dallas has a very good offense and a very bad defense so it has potential for a high scoring game. 

Dallas has the 32nd dead last worst pass defense in the NFL and one of the 22nd ranked rushing defense. They've 28th in points per game given up averaging 30.8 per game. They have three total takeaways in 5 games. 

On the flip side, Dallas's offense is 1st in the NFL in total yards and 4th in total points per game. They are slightly ahead of the Panthers in rushing offense (Dallas is 6th and Carolina is 8th). But Dallas's passing offense is 3rd in the NFL vs the Panthers being near dead last (there's a lot of teams that have played a game less than the Panthers throwing off the numbers)

Was about to say the same thing. DC would rather see his plan work than to win football games… pretty much the anti-adapter to what conditions allow… The ability to adapt is essential to winning consistently in the NFL.

His approach is completely backwards and counter to what is actually needed.

The biggest change in that game was that after the fumble and interception, Bryce came back out with nothing to lose. And he wasn't playing scared, which is a major issue he has. 

And somehow, our O-line got it together, Rico Dowdle played just completely lights out, and when needed, plays were made down field. We gave up on the behind the line screen passes and just tried to move forward.

Yanno, we played football.

Maybe Bryce isn't a gunslinger. But maybe if he can lose that fear, he could be.

tell me you didn’t watch yesterdays game without telling me

Tell me you didn’t watch it with out watching a box score. Pass happy each game including the start. Ran the ball to get back into it and went back to the pass. 
 

canalas loves to pass and he almost blew it by going pass happy. I don’t care what the box score shows.

Of course not that I believe Andy Dalton would make us an instant superbowl contenders, but we would definitely see an instant improvement offensively.  Last year when Dalton came in, he threw over 300 yards and 3 TDs.  This is the style of offense Canales seeks to run.  This year we got even more guys to put up air production. (Tetairoa, the intricate routes of Hunter Renfroe, speed with Jimmy Horn, and hopefully the healthy return of Jalen Coker)  Combine that with our running game, and we would be a real threat.  So what Dalton represents, is the opportunity to see what this offense can really do.  What would happen if we can combine this run game, with an effective down the field passing attack?

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
