Schrager Interviews Canales

[csx]

Regarding the interview, Canales came across pretty well there. When it's not the typical characters just trying to create headlines instead of practice journalism you get genuine answers that tell a story.  There is a defensive aspect to the likes of Newton and Person that comes across as fake

He tried hard to be kind about last years offensive system but struggled to find words that didn't include the word amateurish at best.

If this year is close to last year it's pretty much a complete rebuild by default. Brown and Moton are the only healthy good players, a DT and a RT lol. They pissed away last year and this year on a bad trade and pick. They still can't draft decently. Tepper still hires 'his kind of  people'. We might be witnessing the forever  rebuild. They literally just drafted for the future on a 2 win team which sure helped get the last couple of fools canned while wasting those picks too. 2030 might be way too generous when factoring the Tepper approach.

Are you forgetting about our new top five guard?

Let's see if they get top OG play out of him because it's not like the NFL has never seen a free agent get paid and then not play up to the pay. Also with the center mess they have created I am even less certain he will be a top 5 OG at the end of the year if not just because of that spillover.

He says "We have some talent, in spots" and "There's a reason we were 2-15". Speaks on the importance of quality depth for the good Seattle years and that we have a ways to go in that department

I appreciate the bluntness.  Something we have lacked from our HCs over the years.

He has still shown he can be a top talent at OG.  It's on us if we can't get him schemed or coached correctly.  If we traded for a top QB that QB isn't suddenly questionable.  They are proven and if we mess them up it's on us probably more than them.

Hard to expect scheming well here since we haven't seen it in years. Seems unrealistic at this point. 

This site had him at 19th best interior lineman as of December. But PFF had him at 14 in 2023. Even CBS didn't have him in their top 10. No idea where the top 5 thing came from. I guess it was just guards which him falling from top 5 in OGs to out of top 13 in interior line? 

He was proven on a talented offense on a rookie contract. Let's see how he does here next year and what he proves then because I am always skeptical about the top free agent contracts and given their history it's justified.

OK, second lowest pressures and lowest pressure rate. PFF ranks him  10th.
