Was not impressed by Idzik in preseason but long term I think this is good. 

Yeah hopefully Idzick has grown as a playmaker and preseason was not a good indicator of his abilities. Otherwise ooh we mayne

When Bevell  will came here I suspected maybe he would be that play caller. 
I did not at all expect him to be here as an assist to Idzik at being the play caller. Not sure what to think.

Idzik is like the third generation of a football family so him being just some dumb ass assistent with a token OC title isn’t necessarily the case even though it seems an automatic assumption.  It is possible he knows his stuff but is just inexperienced.  
But damn I didn’t see this coming until last week when I read someone like Person or another writer floated this scenario.  And didn’t really take it as a foregone thing.

His hiring has always been a "WTF".  He was an "OC" that didnt install the offense and didnt call plays and is so inexperienced it took him 2 years on the job to call plays but he still needs an in game handler.

We'll see if this plan actually sticks if we get off to a slow start. It'll probably delay another Bryce benching too if he sucks again. I'm sure we'll see a game or two of Canales with the play sheet before making a QB change again.

Lol...just gonna be another scapegoat by the end of the season. 

That will be 4 play callers at that point that are just "holding bryce back".

That seat is definitely warm.

Thats good for the long term. Shows maturity as a coach. 

I like Canales. 

This is similar to his who to start at RB after Rico had 500 yards in 2 games. It took him calling a leadership council to figure it out. His offense has been stagnant for 2 years. This doesn't show growth to me. It's either extremely slow recognition of something any Huddler could see and has been beaten like a rented mule here or someone's told him your offense better improve or else. I tend to think it's the latter.

I kind of like it because play calling seemed to be a weakness of his.  Having a vet play caller in Bevell to help Idzik learn could be good.  Plus I think Canales is too green of a HC to try to handle play calling too.

I am not saying you are right or even wrong I just think its an odd set up and I cannot recall anything similar in the nfl.  I am sure there has been something like this but its certainly not common.
