I didn't finish the 'reel' but didn't see much besides runs. Anyone that gets time in the backfield is going to need the two more things; good to great hands and pass pro. I like him though when people know you are running it. (which, a football team needs 'that guy')

That'll probably be the shortest injury report we see. They have done no real hitting that I've seen. Sure maybe they took a guy to the ground but it is done courteously. edit: now it is time for punishing people for coming around you. (Yay)

He knows to head North right away. There isn't much dancing and prancing.

RT is going to cost you 25 million? Time to draft one. Sorry.

They didn't have a PTSD category.

I was thinking, Pete Carroll had to grow up admiring someone and surely apprenticed with someone he learned from, and took things he believed in to use in his forthcoming career. I wondered if he surpassed that guy.. and decided to check. It is a hell of a coaching resume, so I'll link to it. He is in rare company for a couple of things and probably did surpass many of the people listed in that link. Lots of Minnesota Vikings people which I don't think I was aware of for one thing... https://pro-football-history.com/coach/56/pete-carroll-bio I started writing to suggest that it would be considered impossible for Canales to surpass him. (said that wrong.. I thought it was certainly possible Canales could surpass but after looking at his record it would be hard to surpass Carroll and others in that link) Is it probable? No. But at least right now it is yet to be proven. One thing we do know is none of the big names were famous as WR coaches or small college coordinators. They paid their dues.

Yeah my preferred approach is to have the OL tight and then an average back can do really well. I'd rather spend the money up front than in the back.

I'd probably be set for life just off the amount they wanted to cut.

I miss having a Tolbert.

I had those thoughts. Like, surely this guy looked better than what we saw, for them to sign him. So maybe there was an issue and he would show better this year. But his eyes, man, he would pass by space to stick his head into a mess.

That was the worst thing I saw. What is being 'not fast' compared to the issue of running straight into the nearest pile.

Last time they played a game that counted, Moton was probably the best OL out there for the Panthers. That's what I know. Hopefully he isn't any more, let's hope he is the floor. But how much are you supposed to pay your OL? Getting pretty 'up there'.

yeah. I was a Wilks guy and not an offense guru guy, but thought I understood the Reich hire. Was not a trade up guy even 1 percent and not a Bryce Young guy one little bit, once the trade was committed. I use committed because it was a crime. My comments were directed at the majority. And David Tepper too. Media, fans, most of both were crowing about the whole thing and we were that one player away - it was insufferable here if you doubted - and it went from that to they all suck except Bryce at the speed of light... same people talking mostly. They still are on the job about it too. Even so, I think Canales is going be a good to great hire. I was never on the keep up with the Jones mindset of get a play caller to be head coach so probably wrong abut that one but it is early.

It is supposed to work that way. The little that we saw looked better. I think if he can throw it high and deep enough, I'd say that's what XL is for. Double coverage, schmouble coverage, just throw it up there. I think I'd want a centerfielder that can flag one down too, deep-ish, defending that.

Well let's go back in time and line them up.

Did I miss something? The whole first paragraph basically is barbed. Sarcastic. Whatever the word is. I have never once made that roster argument, fwiw. Lumped in though by comments in your post.

well, they were probably pros then too at LSU. Anyhow, the College All Stars won some.

Hmm. I guess he won't be back. I was wondering if they were playing the game to get his contract non guaranteed.

Canales is Wired.

And we thought he was small I think. He had those 'break me' little thin ankles that those fast people tend to have. I hated that guy. edit: and to parlay on to this, I am pretty sure Vick was one of the very few successful trading up high for a QB guys. edit again: yeah he needed spying on so much that we took a guy 14th overall just to do that.

I would bet AT's numbers are down a fair bit.

I am going to say most of the top QB prospects are freaks to some degree. Pretty sure you don't want 'not a freak'. Also just want to say, talk about defending every blade of grass, you might be playing against Mike Vick.

Bro, placing them in the light that 'the OL was solely responsible' is about like saying they were not responsible at all. Maybe not that far but you get the point. Neither is accurate. When I see the stats of how much time there was to throw listed (which has been posted somewhere), they don't indicate a jailbreak on every single down. Same as there wasn't a ton of time on every single down. There was time, at times. (edit: and there were open targets not seen or the ball was held and not thrown in that window). If people don't or won't consider those plays in the sum of it all, that's their prerogative. Doesn't mean those things never happened. edit

Pie for 'waddled'.

I can't quite listen to the whole thing. But.. You could do the Stand and Cheer song over a more modern beat and take out the melody so there isn't one, and it would be just like a lot of the stuff on the radio. Do it it like that horrible hybrid country hip hop style that I cannot abide, the fans might eat it up. Change 'cheer' to 'represent' or something. That type of thing...
