    Has he really regressed or is it more likely teams have caught onto his struggles with zone coverage? Raiders tried man coverage against Austin and picket hit him for a 72 yard touchdown. It makes perfect sense the oc is working more closely with Pickett when you consider his struggles with zone coverages

    His accuracy absolutely has suffered and no it doesn’t make perfect sense. No where is there a report that Kenny is struggling with zone but the report did indicate Canada would be taking on a more prominent role. Key work being prominent, what for, they have a QB coach. So either Sullivan is not doing a good job or they are transitioning away from Canada. It’s absolutely ridiculous to think they would give an OC more responsibilities, as if being an OC isn’t demanding enough.

    Who do you replace him with? Sullivan or Thomas? Not much improvement there. Maybe it’s addition by subtraction.

    they should fire whoever hired him in the first place.

    The data on bigk vs zone is out there. You can look it up or stick your head in the sand. Makes no difference to me. Hell it’s even in the video std posted the other day.

    What I read about zone blocking is that you need very athletic OL that can execute that and it would seem we don't have them. I thought Munchak scrapped it when he came but he is a disciple of it and improved its implementation from his predecessor in the burgh, but since he's gone we have lost our jedi skills with it. Gotta work with what your boys can actually execute.

    Where’s the lie? There are no reports they are having Canada work more time with Kenny because he is struggling with zone. That’s not burying my head in the sand, it’s pointing out a fact.

    It’s dumb to think they are going to give Canada positional coaching duties on top of being an OC. Maybe he can go to Kennys house at midnight and work on some plays in his backyard.

    Which is why they wanted Green. Humphrey is more of a road grader. If they switch to a power blocking scheme now, it will make passing on Humphrey even more painful.

    In my understanding this seems to Me that they are not trusting the Qbs coach of doing His job correctly. :shrug:

    I guarantee their plan is to make things better and so MC will not be let go. If the opposite is true, then why wait? At a minimum, reassign play calling duties.

    You notice nobody else reported that story about Canada, except for some no name guy on twitter.

    I think it's a nice way of saying.....We don't really trust Him with audibles at this moment. Notice this wasn't a factor with Ben....even with Canada....He could check from a run to pass, or pass to run whenever He wanted. I would guess they aren't sure He know what He's looking at, and instead of talking down your Qb .....He said this instead.
    It's not a bad thing yet....He's still Young.
