Oh he said a lot. He’s spreading blame. It’s a classic tactic for shielding a single person. You spread it out evenly so instead of one person getting hit with a club, everyone gets a tap on the hand. You protect the individual but eventually lose everyone else after the hand taps add up. He’s going to rug flip him, watch. He's playing the nice guy “trying to make him successful” and defend him, and protect him, and then towards the end of the year, he’s going to rip the rug out from under him.

Also if it reads funny, I tried to type it as accurately as I could without changing anything, I wasn’t trying to be sloppy.

I went back and watched the press conference from Monday again because I wasn’t really paying attention at the time. He’s telling us what’s going on, but we are just dismissing it as coach speak. Here it is in text. Reporter 1: When you say with confidence, do you think Bryce is confident taking those deep shots, or are they being called? What is going on with that? Canales: Yeah it’s a mix of all those things. Reporter 2: What needs to happen for your deep passing game to open up a little bit? Canales: Chemistry, timing, it’s everybody. Protection-wise, was.. um, finding the right opportunities, coverage-wise, um.. and then it’s just you know, the timing and me to you factor- getting the guys down there and giving them opportunities to make the plays. Reporter 3: Is it fair to criticize the lack of vertical threat you guys had, like Xavier Legette had a post wide open but the ball got hit up, there are opportunity there but drops, play mishaps, etc. Are you pushing the ball downfield with your play calling or do you feel like there is a disconnect with the production? Canales: In general it’s a group effort, yes lets get some more opportunities, um, to have those plays come alive- I will call them more when we have more success with them and those things come alive for us, but we have to keep working together, we have to keeping taking those shots in practice to make sure we are comfortable with them and uh; certainly for Brad and I to look at the pass game, coverage, and what they are giving us, uh pretty simple. When they are playing single high and everyone is at the line of scrimmage, we have to make the most out of those opportunities when we have them. Um, so that we uh, are a balanced offense which um, does play off of the run game, which we have got going but now let’s get the pass game going so we can really attack with an offense that I visualize for us. Reporter 4: Calling and Bryce taking more shots back last season… why have you gotten away from it if it’s as simple as what you’ve said about kinda getting too reliant on the success of the run game? Canales: By numbers-wise we are about the same, I think it’s just a matter of chemistry, the full group getting comfortable with those things and then making it come alive. Reporter 5: Is Bryce comfortable taking those deep shots? Canales: We will have to just keep growing as a group and make sure that you, we are at the time on task, the trust factor, the me to you factor, the.. all these things you know, and grow. Reporter 6: What do you think will help the trust factor? When you say that do you mean between receivers and Bryce? Staff and Bryce? Or play calling and Bryce? Canales: all those things and you know, it happens in practice and uh, we’ve had these things come alive in practice and we got to make sure they make it to the game. Reporter 7: If you’re not seeing success in the vertical game, is there a way to alternate your approach to open up more YAC opportunities? Canales: That could be a strategy as well, throwing and catching on some of the short/intermediate stuff um, but I do know you want to stretch the field at times and we get these vertical shots called and we try to make sure we are attacking the right coverages and then from there it’s confidence and the me to you factor which happens in practice. So what I got out of that was he is calling it but Bryce isn’t throwing it. It sounds like Bryce is checking out of it for better coverage match ups and / or thinking he doesn’t have good chemistry with some of the receivers. Also how he totally skips Reporter 5’s question is damning as hell.

To me there are only 2 Panthers reporters who are more honest than most and will say things even when it’s unpopular. Everybody hates one of them, and the other has been around a long time.

Game was 2 days ago. Guy woke up, went to an interview and was like I’m about to take a huge poo all over the Panthers.

Jones to me is the epitome of average. Like when I think of generic QB, ranked 16th in everything I think of Mac Jones. And I am not complaining, that would be a nice upgrade. I wonder what the 49ers would want for him. 4th? Surely not a 3rd or higher.

He probably puts his junk mail in other peoples mail boxes. Or gets up early just to drive slow in high traffic zones.

He looks like the kind of guy that shits in his own yard and blames your dog but you both know that you don’t have one.

Please tell me this is not a real picture

It’s a confidence thing mostly. He’s playing like he was with Reich and before he was benched. Got benched and had nothing to lose and started taking some shots. Defenses also adjust, think about Arizona where they played soft and he went down the field 3 times. Get an onside kick, have 50 yards to go to win and can’t move the ball because they stiffened up on him. I’m halfway expecting him to be more aggressive this week due to all the poo talking but it’s not going to matter if he goes back to his old ways in 2 weeks because his confidence is that fragile.

Make Culture Building Defensive Coordinators Great Again

You know it worked for Fox. Brought in Peete in 02 and Delhomme in 03. Almost had another one in Matt Moore until it went off the rails with his injury and development .

JT Sanders calling it out. So that makes Ekwonu, Sanders, and Scourton. Young guys, calling out effort and behavior. Apologies if this has already been shared.

A lot of yall are too focused on trying to land a franchise guy or bust this offseason. We need reliable transportation. What we have: Huffy Bicycle What’s available: Honda Accord What you want: Porsche 911 GT3 We don’t need a great QB right now, we just need a fuging QB.

We need to go the veteran route whether young or old. Especially since Canales is supposed to be the veteran guru. If it fails let the next coach draft his guy in a better class. I might still take a day 3 guy for depth and something different. Would love to have a Haynes King to use as Taysom Hill.

I could see Murray, Lawrence, and maybe Purdy be up for trade. SF will be interesting because Mac Jones has done very well this year, so either he will want a chance somewhere else or they will stick with him and ditch Purdy which would be financially irresponsible.

Silver lining. The ceiling is super low. Somebody like Minshew, Winston, or Mariota could come in here and do better. We are at the literal bottom right now. Like Clausen bottom almost, any of those FAs are an upgrade. Plus Dan will have another offseason to add some pieces, so there will be a team waiting on them when they get here. Don’t go off the available FA lists. There are always other guys that come available to make cap room or whatever.

I’ve always used Elite Good Meh Shitty Ass

Imagine the dread if you could see this comment in 2022.

Which is weird because lefties usually have rockets

Wonder if that’s because he knows Rhule and Reich were super unlikable

Plummer could zip it, but he was as accurate as a blindfolded weatherman

I found his entire playbook.. might have to dial that slant in though, getting a little too far out there.

I don’t need to see any. The problem is if he plays like ass and then plays good the last 2-3 games. We are going to be stuck with him forever.
