So... about kicker and a third QB.

Yikes.

I hate to speculate, but it's the internet, so I will...  Zane's injury did not look like a strain.  His reaction was severe and immediate, so I hope it's not a tear, but at the least it looks like a very severe strain and he'll be out a good while.

I suspect Darnold had a fracture, but if it's a high sprain, he'll also be out 4-6 weeks minimum.  Regardless, hate to see a guy get injured, but Sam was not helpful even if healthy and should've been cut regardless.  I don't like that he was injured, buy I like that it forces the staff to look elsewhere because Sam was wasted reps and a roster spot, period.  I'd like to see us bring in a young developmental prospect if one becomes available, or just a trusty old vet in the mold of a Case Keenum-type of guy.

Gonna be an interesting couple of weeks...  and honestly, kicker is a much scarier situation than QB right now.  I like the suggestion some made of the young guy from here that the Steelers just cut.  I also am curious where the ECU guy from the Ravens preseason last year is?  The Canadian guy with the funny name last season seemed solid as well.

All I know is, things just got real.  Real fast.

Jake Verity was waived by the Colts and just signed with the Jaguars… today, I believe.  Bad timing.  Great kicker.

      Not suggesting Moton be jettisoned. Just wondering how much longer he's around. Possible, but you never know. I think that's Christensen's role.

      Canales needs to develop.  As someone said when he was hired, it was a good hire a year or two too early.  Give him time.  At a minimum, we need to develop the talent we have on the roster.  If Canales isn't the guy to be your head coach, let him coach while you build talent.  Make the job more appealing until you get the guy you wanted all along. Or heck, maybe Dave becomes a better coach by the end of year two.  Dave has some serious cuteness issues with the plays he calls.  Get smart, give it to Chubba.  That will fix a lot of those issues.  Let Bryce push the ball down the field - see what happens good/bad/ugly.  Over all, we just need ownership to be patient and give the football guys a chance to build the roster.

      well, the comparison is to last year.  The OL is a 180 degree from that.... and overall on the season they have had better skill talent for the same QBs behind a MUCH better OL.    So yeah, the O not looking any better overall is a red flag for Canales.    It's the NFL. I big picture don't care if Canales is a rookie HC.  There are 32 of these jobs in the world.   Given what we have the most expensive OL in the league.....we should be better offensively than last year.
