J Person article on Canales and game plan and Rico

[OneBadCat]

I just can't pin it on DC. The guy is constantly walking on eggshells due to Bryce's inconsistencies and timid nature. He had WR's open and Bryce didn't hit them. He asked his first overall pick to take on the spotlight and he didn't.

Yes we should have ran Rico. But Bryce could have ran that first TD in. T Mac open on that crosser but Bryce hesitated. I think DC is asking Bryce to show us who he is, and is paying the consequences until A. Bryce gets his poo together, B. Bryce flames out and we get another QB.

Biggest mistake imo was going for 2pt in the 3rd qtr. That hurt our momentum. Just take the FG and see how it plays out. Or if you're going to do it all, give Rico a chance.

I gotta be honest, this feels like more than just bad coaching. This feels like proving a point. I'm really beginning to wonder if the only way to get Bryce off this team is to prove he can't step up when it matters. No coach can really be this stupid can they?

I've said for a long time there appears to be some sort of mandate from higher up that is forcing Bryce into the starting role and keeping him there regardless of what any metric or eye test says. Now whether that's Morgan or Tepper at this point, this feels like Canales may be trying to prove that Atlanta is the anomaly, Bryce isn't the guy, and he needs a new QB, and the only way to show that is to get humiliated on prime time, since the only thing Tepper seems to respond to is national embarrassment. 

Of course, I could be 4d chessing this thing way too much, and if I am, maybe I should be the next HC for 50m bucks. If I'm wrong and Canales really is this stupid, lawd help us all. 

I thought that too

Ie trying to prove ‘look, he cant do it under the lights on the big stage’

honestly, im Not sure he is that bright 

then again, how many coaches and  offenses have to  fail to prop up young before this ends 

i blame both canales and young for that defensive carnage Monday night   Both of them 

…and ill say too, if part of the problem is after 12 games into the season, the receivers are still too deep in their routes then

either new receivers are needed

Or new coaching

or the routes are failures 

or the qb

or all 4 

they have had preseason, mini camps, training camp, practice and the season

their coach was a receivers coach and now the OC  

and they still cant consistently complete a pass 

not a good look

he has business being the OC and HC

he isnt McVay and he isnt Reid

Yes. Good point on the timid   I didn't focus on it as Canales should know by now  Young goes into his shell 

ill tell you honestly, i saw how young looked in the tunnel coming out with the team without his helmet on

he looked scared shitless

he played scared shitless

one podcaster looking at the all 22 film said Young was thoroughly confused by Salah’s use of Mustafa and basically became paralyzed .. similar to what  happened in 2023 with  Bates in  Atlanta  

Salah as DC greater than Canales as Oc
