Ricky Spanish

He is but it wasn't designed to go that way and he's out of Bryces vision. Unless you want this QB with average at best arm strength throwing across his body, it was the right read.

I think it was just a way to get Idzik's feet wet as a play caller in the event Canales wants to step away from calling plays and focus on more overall team stuff or Idzik gets a future opportunity elsewhere.

He had a legit great game, it was great to see. I think he makes it to the PS and sticks there this year unless an injury to either Dalton or Bryce brings the need to call him up permanently. BTW, don't know if you guys know this but Idzik was calling plays the second half of the game.

I think they keep TMJ and ISM. Moore and Coker will try to be stashed on the PS, but I'd honestly try and trade TMJ for something at this point. He didn't want to be here last year (Don't blame him really) and he has yet to put it all together on the field, if we could snag a fringe lineman or a late round pick for him I'd be happy.

I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing, and I don't think Canales does either. The 2.7 second rule that Canales talks about has more to do with knowing that's when pockets tend to collapse rather than ball HAS to be out. once 2.7 seconds hit is when I think they want Bryce to start moving and making plays like he did in college, and using his strengths at improvisation. The throw to Johnson, where he scrambled to the left, Johnson was his 3rd or 4th read on that play, he was looking opposite side of the field, timer went off in his head, he scrambled and made something happen. That was a really good play on that drive for a decent chunk gain. I hope we see more of that this year rather than scrambling into sacks like the deep throw that wasn't in this game.

Offense looked solid. Want to see what happened on that sack with the all-22, don't know if the look was there and he hesitated or if the guy was genuinely covered; as well as the checkdown on the 3rd down, don't know if that was by design to make it 4th and manageable or if others were open past the sticks. Can't argue with a TD though so I'd rate it a B+ outing for the starting offense with room to go down or up based on the film. Also, there were 2 throws across the middle, including the one to Matthews in the EZ. The narrative that Bryce can't see over his line is and has always been dumb. Arm strength and slight frame? Yes those are concerns, but he can throw over the middle.

Potentially beneficial for both teams. Solid move. Nothing to complain about here... So we need to bring up Bryce in a completely unrelated thread.

If he looks bad, this is somehow Tepper's fault. If he looks good, it's the preseason and it doesn't matter.

Totally get and understand it. If you have the means to do it the easy way, do it. But also, you know, fug the man, and all.

There are other, more elaborate ways to stop seeing ads that I've looked into (I fuging HATE ADS). You can install a raspberry pi that hooks up to your modem that straight blocks known ad source websites, but it can get a little technical and you consistently need to update the list of blocked sites. You can do something similar with your router blocking specific ad web servers and that helps but doesn't work 100% of the time. Seriously, fug ads.

Switch to firefox and get ublock origin. Still works for me on youtube as well as all other sites. Doesn't work with chrome because, well, google who owns youtube, owns chrome; and opera and other similar browsers are all chromium based web browsers with chrome's bones in it so they don't work with ublock origin either. I made the switch over a year ago when I heard they might be stopping adblock. I do not miss chrome at all. It's worth the switch and it's free.

Good for him. I remember seeing him on broadcast a few times and he was solid, better than Vilma, which isn't saying much. Glad he's still finding work.

1.5 good years. Half of 2014 and all of 2015. He was in the dog house before that.

I really don't care if the starters play or not in the preseason. I really don't understand why everyone's panties are in a bunch about this, They played last year and were absolute poo. If they don't play this preseason they can't be any worse. The narrative of canales "hiding" Bryce is dumb. It's all a bunch of dumb whiny babies not getting to watch the "best" players in games that don't matter. If preseason reps actually mattered, we wouldn't have been as poo as we were last year. Coaching is more important. No idea if canales is the guy but he certainly can't be worse than rhule and Reich the past 4 years.

Hot Take I know

Don't blame me for your own personal, unique, zero interference or editing from the mods, 100% your own hot take. Hot Take Old Bay is an 'S' Tier seasoning and should be used on more food.

Ask and ye shall receive Hot Take David Tepper is a relatively patient owner, he just sucks at making good choices.

HOT TAKE TMJ always practices well but never puts it on the actual field and Canales' disdain for that behavior will allow us to roster future franchise savior Jalen Coker in TMJ's place.

Some interesting hot takes in this thread here guys. HOT TAKE No music actually 'sucks', taste is all subjective and all forms are valid expression. Just because you don't like a particular song or genre doesn't mean it isn't good to someone else. Except Drake. HOTTER TAKE I've hated Drake for years for no verifiable reason and have been completely vindicated in my feelings this summer.

Jets should be concerned that their starting QB is underthrowing passes and getting picked off by a UDFA. HOT TAKE What a waste of a trade that was to get that scrub QB.

Spicy. HOT TAKE Mario Addison was better than Brian Burns

Also, please try to utilize the "Flames" when pieing posts throughout this thread. Hot Take Bluey is not only the best children's show ever made, it's a top 10 TV show of all time, regardless of genre or target demographic, and is better than Game of Thrones.

I hope we look competent and everyone stays healthy. HOT TAKE: "Let's go" by Trick Daddy and Lil' John is a superior hype song compared to the original Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne. The undoubted best part of the original song is the sick intro, and then the hype falls off a cliff when Ozzy starts singing. At that point, you can do the "Dancing in the street" Moves from Jagger and Bowie throughout the rest of the song, it's that lame. "Let's go" Takes the best part of the original song and makes that part the whole song, which is awesome and face melting and hyped to the heavens.

Post updates for the joint Practice with the Jets on 8/15 in this thread. The compliment sandwich was fun, but hard to moderate. This thread will be a bit easier: Unless you are providing a tweet/update on the practice, any and all responses MUST CONTAIN at least One hot take about anything, Panther related or not. Failure to provide a hot take will result in a hot take being provided for you. Don't come at me with any of these weak-ass, "OH we will suck, Bryce will suck!!1!" lukewarm-ass takes. That's boring. These are cold takes, we read those daily. I want Carolina Reaper levels of spicy. I want Henry Cavill shirtless, running and wet in the Superman reboot levels of hot. I want burning coals redder than the devil's dick levels of heat. Commence.
