Mr. Scot

No, and that was an issue we hadwith Rivera. We used to joke about making a list of all of the things Rivera learned too late. I'm still cautiously optimistic about Canales at the moment, but we'll see.

He did use a more balanced approach (at least in the early part of the game) and called some of the plays that he should have been calling the first time when we were facing heavy pressure. I give him credit for that. There are most definitely issues that need fixing though.

Two weeks in the case of that game... From what I've seen, Canales is at least capable of learning from his mistakes. That's a plus, at least.

We took some abuse from Cam Jordan last game, but it's not like that hasn't happened before.

To be fair, calling Legette a "first round receiver" is a little misleading. I would agree though that the OL has generally been good, especially when you tractor in all the injuries.

I was referring to changes that he made from one game to the next. In game is another story.

I felt like he did a good job fixing the issues from the first Saints game, for example. Although I admit mid second half it did kind of feel like he was going back to old tendencies.

I'd say one of the other things you have to factor in here is the question of whether Canales is the kind of coach that adapts his system to his players or vice versa. Going off what we see with Young, I'm gonna say it's probably the former.

Lots of things This particular debate isn't one of them though

Can't I'm currently surrounded by parrots Today's actually a pretty lazy day though. (retirement has its perks)

I'm going off what I've read from the Chiefs in the past. They certainly had way better ownership than us (the Hunt family) and neither Reid nor GM Brett Veach is known for being authoritarian. Hell, What reporters were shocked A while back when I asked to read about a personnel situation and he deferred to Veach. So no, nothing I can say definitively. The one thing I do feel comfortable saying about Tepper in that he's been publicly embarrassed by the team's results. And I genuinely believe that's an effective motivational thing for him.

So it is My default course of action if I don't remember something is to look it up. I was actually in the process of doing that when you answered. I can see it's gonna be a great day

Yeah, I didn't get the impression any of you guys would be trying to convince him to stay.

Agree about Tepper, but we did hear inside chatter that Dan was the one guy who was Never afraid to tell him he was wrong. Likewise, I have a hard time believing a guy from the Chiefs environment would be okay with that sort of situation.

I don't honestly even remember who his starting TE was in 2023 (his only OC season). He has made at least some use of our TEs this season but I get the feeling that after last year they were expecting more from Sanders than were currently getting.
