Bryce’s Footwork

[LinvilleGorge]

He's a guy who lacks the physical tools and after his experience last year I think he knows it. I think he's basically just mailed it in at this point and is cashing checks for as long as he can. That's why I was honestly surprised about the rumor that he's pissed about the benching. I honestly expected him to be relieved by it.

I remember all offseason hearing about the work Canales was doing to retool Bryce’s footwork. Which was a bit weird since Canales was initially complimentary of his footwork when hired. Given how much worse Bryce looks this season compared to last, especially his footwork, how much blame does Canales bear for the regression of #9?

 

I see so many other things wrong with Bryce’s play, but footwork is fundamental for a QB. If his footwork was changed, and he’s having to think too much about that fundamental, the rest of his game is going to suffer. I never saw his stupid jump pass before this year, so something must’ve introduced that idiocy to his game.

 

Basically, my question is whether our QB whisperer coach put an end to Bryce’s career with this offseason focus on footwork?

Search for Bryce footwork you will find plenty. 
short version is watch any film of Bryce Young from last year. Just a few drop backs should do it. 
 

Next find the Buffalo preseason game. Watch the drive Bryce was in for.  Look at that footwork. Completely different and looks like other QBs.  Something like 12 plays there a few passes you can see it. 
 

THEN FIND THE New Orleans game and go through his drop backs in the first quarter. Observe. 
Right at the very end of the 1st quarter you will see Bryce from 2023 taking back over. 
 

Easy to see you will have everything you need.

why did yall think that this off season was going to be different?

I think the small hope was to see some sort of design or inkling of any comptence. 

That seems unlikely at this point.

I think Canales' main reason he got the job.....is because of the work he can put in behind a podium.  I think that's really why Tepper hired him.  Main reason Ron Rivera got hired in DC IMO was because they needed the boxes he checked publicly as they endured what they were going through. 

He is polished and says all the nothingness in a manner Tepper probably has been dying for.  Rhule was horrible behind the mic.  Frank was horrible behind the mic.  Canales can get up their and sing and dance and say whatever needs to be said in the moment. 

The whole positive of Canales and there really was only ONE primary one we were sold.....has already been flushed down the toilet. 

You might have been buying based on that. I m still buying but based off of the primary talent he displayed, rehabbing retread vets. As opposed to his Bryce mission.

Thought you were done with Bryce long ago. 

I was. You may remember my opinion on how difficult it is to rebuild mechanics that will hold up under duress. Pressure. This was totally predictable because his are so fuged up. And ingrained. He won a Heiseman with those mechanics he probably doesn't even want to change them. 

For me the reason I wanted Canales here was to get the next QB. So far, plan is in motion.
