NFL Preseason week 1

[Joe Bear]

I think Canales sat most of the starters because he knows this team's depth is shorter than the rainfall we just got in the last hour.

Yeah I think he really could have benefited from having an OC he trusted.  He wasn't even an OC long enough to get established in that role.  You gotta set yourself up for success the best you can.  Our owner isn't gonna make sure that happens.

Evero as HC with someone Evero thought would make a good OC would have made way more sense in hindsight. Evero has the 3rd stringers ready to go and his head is not spinning from the pressure at all. He's probably kinda bored and sitting back watching knowing he could handle all the practice scheduling and roster management on top of calling the defense

Evero is an enigma of a coach and we are super lucky to have him.  We just have to hope that he really enjoys being the DC of the worst team in the league.

I'm sure if he was named HC he would have found the best OC available for the team. He isn't an old school Rivera/Wilks DC, he knows exactly what the opposing offense is doing and he would have picked the most challenging OC for him personally. Oh well

I don't know if he wanted it.  Feels like he's waiting for the right opportunity.

Good point, he's probably like 3 steps ahead of Tepper in discussions and knows taking the HC job here would destroy his future when all he has to do is sit back and make formidable defenses out of nothing until he gets the right opportunity.

This Eagles/Ravens game feels like the preseason for a different league compared to what we watched last night.

It is. Top of the league VS. bottom of the league

Commanders-Jets at noon. Maybe we'll get some Jayden Daniels and Sam Hartman snaps. Two rookie qb's on the same team

And at 1pm the moment of truth. Does this guy suck or not

 

[PNW_PantherMan]

I didn't know that was coming on this afternoon.  Sweet.  I'll have something to throw on the TV while I procrastinate doing things around the house.

I hope he and Daniels play more than Maye did Thursday night. I know you're not wanting to give early opponents much film on guys to work off of but damn... getting first glimpses of rookie QBs is one of the very few intriguing things about preseason. Entertain me damn it! LOL
