Canales Did Not Call a Terrible Game

It's impossible to judge a coach or an overall offense while this anchor of a QB is tied around their throat.

You can judge him on the pretty ordinary O he ran with a stacked Bucs compared to the 2 OCs that have come after him

Mr Scot mentioned this in another thread, and I'm paraphrasing, but Canales went into this game and tried to run a smash mouth power running game with a bunch of backup, agile interior linemen or linemen that were injured. Like everyone on the oline has an elbow injury right now. 

It was really basic. Like going to chatgpt and typing in "power running blocking scheme win" and just installing whatever it shat out. And when the saints just did run blitz from the start he had no backup plan at all. They tried to throw a bit more in the 2nd half to start but New Orleans was just sending it up the A gap which has always made Bryce panic. I actually think this would have been a better game for Chuba but that's neither here nor there. 

Canales just looks overmatched at times and I just can't stand that we're talking about giving this guy another season.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not necessarily defending Canales here. I didn't want him hired but at the same time I also realized that our wish list of candidates probably started where everyone else's ended and we'd be shopping off that same list again if we fired Canales and went coach shooting this coming off-season.

I honestly think Baker's resurgence in Tampa after he bombed here got him hired and now Baker is even better without him.

His play calling and game planning is hampered due to bryces restrictions...which are many.
