Wow, I don't like the sound of that at all... he certainly didn't seem to be suffering from a shoulder injury when he was swimming around offensive linemen in the nat'l championship game?

This makes me wonder if he's been sitting around eating donuts instead of preparing for the combine.

I'd say it's not good for him either way.

If his injury isn't all that severe, some might question his attitude and/or commitment.

If his injury is indeed severe enough that this is warranted, then execs will start pondering "just how bad is that shoulder?"

Wouldn't necessarily expect him to drop him (especially not if he takes part in Auburn's pro day) but execs take a lot of "mental notes" about this kind of thing.

Anybody remember Sapp putting up 225 only 16 times. He turned out okay.

Teams will want him to lift at some point. He might be trying to improve his reps before pro day. Or private workouts.

Or he might be scared. Or injured.

I think that covers it.

      Coker has certainly earned it. Good for him.

      I don't think we don't call things aggressively, for a Canales offense, anyway. We don't have a QB who makes aggressive throws nor stresses defenses downfield. He is at a career low on 20+ attempts per game and his career 10-20 QB rating is abysmal.  That will always be a limiting factor IF you are looking for a high flying, downfield offense. I am not even that concerned about it, I just want to see effective offense and we decidedly do not possess that. A large chunk of that is Bryce. I think the second biggest chunk is Canales. All the other components(XL included) are fairly minor in comparison to those two things. I am an advocate of attempting to improve at QB. I am not focused on finding "The QB." We failed at that with Bryce. So let's just get better. If that's a one year vet or a draftee or a cheap trade or some combination of any/all, we should do that. We have to get that QB better. Bryce will fail in 2026 and we need to have REALISTIC options to take over when that happens. That ain't Andy Dalton or Hendon Hooker or Jack Plummer or Mike White or....you get the picture. Be serious about hedging that Bryce bet and not just having to make do if he struggles or gets injured.  My mind is definitely made up on Canales. It's year two and he hasn't improved much, nor do I think the bones of a good HC are there. Ron Rivera got to that point after two seasons and he was open about the changes he had to make and advice he got to make that leap in year 3. If we don't see the same after next year, how is he not just Brian Daboll?

      Not really buying it because T-mac faces stiffer competition week in and week out.
