Play calling

[scratched]

Does Canales deserve even more criticism than has been given? I’m still not sold on BY, but maybe the play calling has been more responsible for our QB play than originally thought. 

[Mr. Scot]

Followed that discussion last week too...

Gotta give him credit for today, though.

I was always more Bryce is the problem vs Canales.

But after this seasons ups and downs, incosistency on both Offense and Defense, showing up against teams that should blow us out and looking past teams we should beat I am starting to say Canales is more of the problem than Bryce.

I am still not ready to pull the trigger on it, but how else can you have games like today or games like last years against the Chiefs and Eagles but then lose to the damn Saints. Thats coaching 

[Peon Awesome]

I think Canales is still learning and growing as a coach. I mean he was only an offensive coordinator for 1 year and now a head coach for 1.5 years here. He's still green but I do think he is genuinely learning from his mistakes and making adjustments. Last week, I think he got complacent at Dowdle's run game dominance and our presumed talent level advantage over the Saints and called a super vanilla game that got exploited. And once it was clear we'd have to throw to win, the Saints could switch to a heavy pass rushing scheme and make Bryce uncomfortable on each dropback.

This time Canales played on the offensive and realized teams are going to sell out to stop the run and he let Bryce air it out. Overall was a great gameplan. 

[Cam's New Arm]

He called a good game today.

He hasn't even been a head coach for three full seasons  yet. He isn’t going anywhere and will only improve with time. He has a full plate being OC and HC. He will be very good in the long run.

DC is not perfect by any means and it is INFURIATING the inconsistency shown this season so far but if they stay strong down the stretch and either just slip into playoffs or just miss them you got to give him another year to see if they make the next step. 

You want to see progress year over year and I believe we are. His play calling has been dictated by what he has at QB which we talked about ad nauseam. When BY makes bone head decision or has his multiple turnover games you start to lose trust in him no matter what the "coach talk" he says in press conferences.

I would vote to keep DC for another year with a retooled QB room and see what happens.

I agree, WRs were wide open several times, I feel like he called a solid game.

No.

He calls these plays every week. Young doesn't hit them.

He's also alluded to the fact that the team isn't executing them in practice so he can't rely they can execute them in games.
