I mean, it's pretty simple. Canales is adapting based upon the limitations of his QB.

Yea I dont think it's feasible with Bryce. Oddly similar to Cam's strength after his shoulder issue. I think we can work around it as it just is what it is at this point though. 

We'll 100% never see Bryce throw a PJ Walker type Hail Mary. 

But we can sustain 20's (anything in the 20's)... maybe mid 30's. Anything after that, we might as well kneel. 

Sidenote: Canales needs a Darnold-esque qb tbh.. closest we'll see of that is probably Dalton's Raiders game last season.

This past week with a beat up line that was the game plan, so brining up Micah zero pressure is a moot point, we didn’t give the packers pass rush an opportunity to ruin the game.

With Bryce's skills/limitations AND the oline injuries their only chance to win is dominant run game, good D , small ball it/hopefully some really good PA/bootleg/misdirection. Rico's the man...treat him like prime Arian Foster and let's roll

I mean we all saw the highlight of the wounded duck int ryce threw in the end zone on sunday.  Its no secret his moderate to deep balls lack zip.  DC is simply trying to limit that

Ideally we’d have a QB with a missile. You play the exact same way, but with 3-5 true deep shots per game. Defense still isn’t good enough for track meets.

If I remember it was Greg Cossell who said that before the Bills game insinuating they would play better with Dalton lol

If hadn't just crested the hill we likely would have. As bad as Dalton was he still had 75 more yards and a 70 vs 48 passer rating along wity 67 vs 55 completion percentage

That's the modern NFL offense. The majority of the passing game is quick hitters but with enough deep shots mixed in to keep the D honest.

Y’all don’t understand football and weather. The interception got hung in the wind, it’s was a 20+ yard pass into the wind (same as Love’s Int.). So any passes this game needed to be less than 20 yds. We adjusted to that quick. The quick short passes is what helped us win.

hell of a coaching call. Our coaches were on their A game.

We adjusted with the coin toss. Otherwise, I would say the weather suited our style of football and hindered theirs. Factors came together in our favor for that day.

I will add "perfect weather" to the list of things bryce needs to have a good game

They drafted a deep ball wide receiver in the first round.

kinda answers that question. 

T-Mac is so much more than that. He really is.
