Dave Canales benched Bryce

Maybe Canales saw an occupational hypnotherapist a la Office Space before the meeting. 

There will be speculation until the end on time as to who made the call. The good news is that it was done before the darkness reached the point of no return. 

I think the tone of the press conferences will be different in a good way. Less placating, maybe. The company line is obviously different when it comes to Bryce and hopefully if we start reeling off some wins and/or multi TDs games, he will become an afterthought. It’s not impossible to hit 30 points with this offense. 

Anyway, it’s going to at least be fun to watch some games again. The first 30 yd laser from Andy may make me pee on myself a little.

You’d have to be as clueless as Bryce Young in the pocket to think Dave Canales was behind the benching 

Which is about 50% of this place so that checks out

Lol. Canales is a young new coach trying to win the lockeroom abd build culture. The more likely scenario is THIS was his idea but it just has to get Tepper approval. You are the clueless one.

Some part of me thinks Canales stayed up all night collecting definitive evidence to show Dipper everything that needed to be known about benching Bryce and proving it's a Bryce problem and not a scheme or personnel problem.

I don't think it was an all night sized job in the first place. 

When you see the rehabbed mechanics in the Buffalo Drive at work and those results it is very encouraging.  Even against twos and threes because you see the work and the results which is more important than who you are playing against a particular day.

Jump ahead and watch him playing real football at real speeds with guys really chasing him with bad intentions. That poo lasted about 8 drop backs at the most. 

As far as the breaking him that people are using to fault the team, okay he broke but you going to blame the team for him being built to break? You are trying to use freshwater gear fishing in the ocean, good luck. It was built to do one thing, not the other. On road vehicle, don't take it offroad.

I blame the team - for not seeing that he was not built to thrive at that level. That's it. You bought water in a wine bottle, doesn't matter what you do it will always remain water.

Ah the good ol' days of offseason.

Okay then...is there a chance this is actually more true than not?

I mean, Canales and these coaches DEFINITELY should have been able to recognize the disparity we all saw against LV on a daily basis at practice.  They are professionals and have eyes.  

I mean, I'm sure Tepper got to him first soon after game 2 and said to figure it TF out...and Canales agreed to go "look at the tape" and get his response ready.

But if DC wasn't a pushover and learned enough from Pete Carroll, maybe he did say, "listen, I know what I'm installing and it can work just fine, but yeah, it's simply not working with Bryce right now. If we want to win, we can do it with Dalton".  And Canales is also clearly a locker room guy.  He seems tight with these guys in a way Rhule and Reich weren't.  

Maybe he had the gall to say that upfront, and Tepper, being his reactive self was more just in agreement like, "yeah, we suck, if you're saying you know it will be better, I'll trust you with this, we'll deal with Bryce one way or another"
