Any idea why short hasn't earned a starting spot next to star?

I mean from what i've seen he's been every bit as good as Edwards when allowed to play. You draft a guy in the second round i exspect him to start. He's proven to be one of the best pass rush Dt's in this class so why not let him play like one.Don't get me wrong Edwards hasn't done anything to lose his job and is playing beyond servicable. But the question remains when is it Short's time?

I think it depends on the rotation they want to use to match up. Our big thing is shutting down the run and Edwards and Cole give you more than Short in that department. He also benefits from staying fresh, so I'm fine with it.

 

I do think he'll be the starter next season with Star and Dwan will be relegated to the rotational guy.

I don't think the coaching staff is really worried about it right now. We have such a deep rotation of DT's, the one that technically gets the start is somewhat insignificant. I'd be interested to see how the defensive snap counts breakdown for our DT's, because they seem to be on a fairly even rotation outside of Star who gets the bulk.

Don't confuse starting with "stupid" no where did i say he should play every snap.

No, but you do realize that "starting" only means they put you out there for the first play of the game your unit is on the field, right? If he's getting a set percentage of snaps then it's definitely for a reason, most likely due to his current developmental progress as a player. NFL rookies take at least a whole year to adjust to the demands of pro level football. Just because he's doing good with so many snaps doesn't mean that he'd produce as efficiently playing more snaps.

for positions that have pretty heavy rotation...being designated as a "starter" doesn't mean a whole lot except that you are there for the first snap.

 

cole is just better on the first couple downs when teams decide to run (which is when they are more likely to do that).

 

it's really not that big of a deal.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By Super Grateful · Posted

      the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
