Goes way too overlooked because people just go "Good player good"....IT. IS. ABOUT. SYSTEM! The amount of times that people have seen a good player go to a different team and look like ass is astounding. The reason is its about getting players that match the system you're running. Cam was a god damned monster, but as we saw when we tried running a pocket passing west coast with him, it DIDNT go well. Do I think McConkey could have been good here, sure, but he's a Receiver in the style of Thielan. Look at the offenses that Canales has been associated with (And idzik for that matter), Seattle with DK Metcalf, and Tampa with Mike Evans as the big bodied outside guy as the X. We did not have one of those on the roster. We drafted XL to eventually become that. Its simply the system calls for it. Its not always about just getting the most talented player, its about talent matching what we are trying to accomplish. Will he live up to it? Dunno, but itd be like saying "I was shopping for a truck" and even if you got a regular truck people are like "You could have had this way cooler car"...we werent shopping for a car though.

Truth is, EVEN if he's not, this roster won't win, period. End of discussion. Build. The. Roster. Wanna know why darnold looks good? Because he was a piece in a built roster. We are no where near that.

holy poo, that van ginkle tackle was one of the hardest hits ive seen in years. Gibbs is a tough MFer

I have a feeling that Jaguars road game is gonna be overseas. Just my way too early prediction.

Guy wasnt built to run an offense for byrce young. Need a big qb to stay in the pocket, Bryce however needs a system where they move him out of the pocket, he square pegged a round hole as hard as I've ever seen. doesnt help that the rest of the personnel was dogshit. Canales is the guy for the job and hopefully will build a connection with Bryce.

I also hate happiness.

BTW, Just saying, this should be our sidebar image. I'm sure there's a higher quality picture than what I just snipped out of a video for it, but THAT is the Bryce we need to believe is coming back next season.

Not even kidding, this was just exuding confidence and swagger. I mean, this was the guy that in week 2 legitimately looked like he was gonna cry on the field, Fast forward to Week 18 and this dude is doin this. There's no way to explain how good of a job Canales did coaching Bryce up this season.

Could Eddie P finally get redemption in atlanta?

In fairness, took coaching too. In week 1 and 2 he was clearly still shell shocked from last year, but as he saw dalton in there, he realized these guys were giving the time needed.

Eh, We'll see, gonna be a lot of movement this offseason. I think theres just as good of a chance that Plummer is our backup next season as we have bringing someone like Rush in (Neither is gonna happen IMO). Theres a bunch of QB needy teams and a weak QB class, so IMO someone like rush is gonna get a bag that he doesnt deserve. Kinda reminds me of Matt Flynn, one good stretch gets you paid. He may not get top FA QB money, but IMO he'll definitely get Gardner Minshew type money, like 10-11 a year. IMO, Rush signs somewhere else, Lance returns to the cowboys on a friendly deal. We on the other hand look into a vet FA like Flacco, or maybe Jameis Winston.

They arent trading maye, I actually think they win this week just to end the year "positive" especially since Buffalo is benching all their starters. That said, if they have the #1 pick, would 100% expect them to trade out to a desperate team whos in love with Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders. and they'll get a haul out of it.

wouldnt be sad to see robert saleh here. Bad HC, but he knows defense. Similar IMO to Wade Phillips. I do know Canales being young has a limited connection to other NFL coaches which will/would make the search a little different than some.

Was thinking this, I don't think he's the worst, but he's taking the brunt of everything. I think when provided specific personnel for his scheme, it can be good to great, but it takes specific personnel that fits his specific scheme. Problem is, Everything wont always be perfect, need to adapt to the personnel you have. There's the old poker adage, "Play the hand you're dealt, not the one you wish you had" and because he couldn't adapt to his personnel, he'll lose his job. He'll rebound and be a fine DC somewhere, just not here. As for us, was thinking about what options are out there and thought about. Would wonder if Tepper and wilks would be willing to mend their bridge. I do think Wilks can be a good defensive coordinator, do think some of his old concepts would be decent with our personnel especially with his blitz heavy approach. That said, shouldn't be our first choice, but I also don't think it would be the worst option considering there's still players here with relationships with Steve and they clearly wanted him to stay in 2022. Just a thought.
