Now the question is:  why weren’t they already doing that?

Maybe they wanted him to learn one position before throwing too much at him. Also I think Tmac is a step below the best of the best wrs but has a real shot to be a top 10 wr for the foreseeable future

It’s interesting bc I had started getting these videos popping up on my Facebook feed like Saturday from these guys, I think they’re with nbc sports, but they’re supposed to be knowledgeable guys who break down film and the first video I saw was them pretty much trashing our receiving corps and one of the things they said about TMac was that he only lines up at X.  Welp…

I think thats the more likely answer, they wanted to have him focus on that role most likely.  The more you diversify his route tree the more complicated it gets for a rookie, but I think him doing it so well this week has shown that he absolutely can get and excel at that.  look for a lot more going forward.

Makes me wonder. Yesterday was a rare day when our receivers didn't just get open and make catches but also get YAC. Was part of that reason because we were rather static on where we lined up our guys until now, especially with who is effectively our best receiver? In other words, we surprised the Falcons by exploiting matchups far more than we had before?

That's how Atl used Drake London last year too. His production improved when he was moved to the slot. I think T-Mac can be your prototypical X receiver, but why not take advantage if he produces more in the slot? I don't question Canales as a WR/QB coach, he is knows his stuff in that field, but being a HC is totally different. Canales hasn't been consistent in some of his decisions, but I do think he's earned more time to prove that he belongs.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
