Mr. Scot

Yet still talking about me (should probably sing a chorus of "I've Got You Under my Skin") Here's the bottom line, dude. You made an incorrect statement because you're conflating arguments. Yes, Bryce does fit the scheme we run. That doesn't make him good or mean we should keep him around for the future, but it's true. You should really just accept that and move on because all you're doing now is making yourself look worse. ... PS: One question. Should I go ahead and write a response about Scott Fitterer in anticipation of you trying to dodge the topic and attack me again or are you looking at a different route this time?

You didn't list the refs as an option? I'm not just talking about us. Officiating around the league seems as bad as it's ever been this year.

Nicole? I mean, if the Teppers are lying about being hands off, I get that. But that doesn't sound like Dan Morgan. Also gotta figure they now have a guy from one of the best organizations in the NFL. Can't believe he's wanna stay with that kinda sh-t show

We're running an offense based on Weat Coast concepts. If you think back over the best versions of that system, you generally find yourself remembering the names of great receiving tight ends. Throw in that unless it's in the plans to try and ship Legette somewhere, we're probably not looking at another wide receiver, so TE makes sense.

Well, besides Tilis, we also parted ways with Cole Spencer (who I was never a fan of). Definitely possible we see more changes in the front office this offseason. Heck, some positions that were vacated they didn't even bother to fill. We'll see what happens...

I could try and predict our future or I could just go straight to banging my head on the wall The plot of this franchise over the Tepper era has been like a bad movie.

I do genuinely feel like we're better this year than last year. I'd still prefer to move ahead with a sifferent quarterback, but I'm resigned to the reality that it's not gonna happen. Just gotta hope they're right about Bryce and we're wrong.

Corner of Crack and Bunghole?

Couple more things from last night... This is an absolute mess

Gilbert or Harold Goodwin? I know Gilbert is officially listed as the OL Coach but that was Goodwin's role last year before they gave him one of those goofy "Run Game Coordinator" titles. Far as I know, they're both coaching OL.

Thought you were done with this conversation... (for the second or third time) Accusing someone else of gaslighting while pulling out selective stats is ironic enough, but given how you've done in this thread I'm not surprised. You haven't given a single substantive answer, you've dodged questions repeatedly, cut and paste the same stuff about half a dozen times, and for several pages now rather than actually throwing anything relevant out there as a counter, you've just stuck to attacking me. You've lost, dude. Probably best to go ahead and actually take that exit you keep saying you're going to take

Oh, come on. That "career record" includes the first year disaster under Reich (actually under Tepper, but hey). But even if it didn't, a career win-loss record doesn't tell you how somebody is doing right now. That's basically like saying you can't judge by his performance against the Rams because he looked terrible in week one.

Get the impression this is gonna be talked about quite a lot...

Earlier in the same game...

From tonight's game... Depending on your point of view, the Rams might have a better claim to being screwed out of a game than us

Found the full interview:

Thus sayeth Pat McAfee while interviewing Luke Kuechly... One note here: The Twitter caption talks about Kuechly praising Dan Morgan and David Tepper, but when Luke mentions "Dan and Dave" I believe he's actually talking about Morgan and Canales. I'm going primarily by context, but I also kinda doubt Luke would refer to Tepper as "Dave".

I was scared I'd see us mentioned

Not really, but I'd say the WCO is a better fit for Bryce's skill set. Tough to picture him in a Coryell. He's just not a good enough player ability-wise and consistency-wise. I think he'd make a great backup, but I seriously doubt there's any path to that destination.

We are talking about Bryce, and have been. Specifically, your suggestion that he doesn't fit the scheme Canales runs. And on that point, I accept your concession

A lot of that is basic WCO, but I'm guessing you know that. Would add that I'd rather a coach adjust his schemes to fit the players anyway but that's a separate debate.

There are definite schematic issues with Evero, but that's not the point. The point is Canales was willing to give him chances, and that even after a (historically) bad year. Bryce, at least so far, is ending this season same as he did last year: trending up. That tells me Canales is highly unlikely to move on from him.

His OCs were all guys who ran a lot of WCO concepts. Heck, even in college he was work some of the same things. To be clear, WCO doesn't exclude chucking it downfield. If you ever watched the Eagles under Reid, McNabb did at least three or four of those a game. As far as preferences, I used to be primarily a Coryell guy and hated the WCO (me and another guy used to have those debates on an annual basis). I came around to it later on. These days I'm looking into E-P

YAC is only one part of a WCO. Darrell Bevell, Brian Schottenheimer and Shane Waldron all ran offenses with heavy WCO concepts (rhythm, tempo, timing routes, quick releases, short passes as long handoffs, etc). Heck, Waldron came out of a Shanahan tree. Can't get much more WCO than that unless you invoke Bill Walsh. Didn't hurt that they had Russell Wilson either. WCOs often function better with a mobile quarterback. Do you know why?

Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history. Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had. But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce
