    Absolutely! 300 lb athletes trying to break you in half is always a concern. I think getting into a real offense with real progressions and believing in what he is doing can help him with that.

    If he doesn't respond and show something, his days as a starter are over unless he is lucky and gets another chance to prove himself in the future.

    You don't care about me so much you're responding to others and calling them Thor, just like you keep responding to posts just to say you didn't read them. :facepalm:

    How about you just try and be mature in debating your points. Like Scribe said, there are interesting points to be taken from others even if we don't agree with their overall premise.

    I'm basing this off of articles I have read, videos I have seen of Rudolph talking about adjustments during games, coaches being interviewed, and what we have seen with our own eyes of plays they have run before, but added a twist with something new out of the same formation and play.

    All of this stuff has been reported or been stated by players or coaches. It's not exactly a mystery.

    It was reported that Canada didn't like to work directly with the quarterbacks.

    It was reported that the coaches were making it a priority to get plays in quicker.

    It was reported and stated by players that the coaches were giving the quarterback more input, selecting plays, etc... I believe Kenny Pickett and Rudolph both commented on it.

    It was stated by Rudolph in an interview about making in-game adjustments and referred directly to coaches changing routes during games.

    We know that Faulkner and Sullivan shared duties, and that Faulkner developed the offense and prepared game plans with input from others, while Sullivan called the plays and worked with the QB directly. He's the QB coach, so we know that he was hands on with the quarterbacks after Canada was gone and got to handle them in his own way since he was now in charge of that. It's not that hard to know this stuff.

    If you watch tape and even to the naked eye during games, you could sometimes tell when they altered a play slightly from seeing it executed several times during the season. Even commentators during the game commented on some changes or something new they ran that was not put on tape for teams to see previously this season.

    We know that Canada directed the blocking schemes to his offense, and that they were so bad with some of the zone blocking concepts that they were scrapped and replaced with power schemes. I read that Meyer was getting more control, but I never heard him say it directly. It certainly makes sense. The OC was fired and someone has to direct the offensive line and make adjustments based on anything that was modified or added to the offense since Canada wasn't there and his schemes often didn't work anyway.

    Again. Not exactly a mystery.

    I have no idea why you are ignoring what I posted to you. I didn't insult you. I asked you a genuine question about football.

    And then you wonder why you aren't taken seriously and people respond to you the way they do.

    And then calling me Thor?

    For crying out loud...

    Yeah, you should probably notify a moderator for that.

    Some lines shouldn't be crossed.

    No offense to you of course! He could have called my anybody else, but he chose you. I'm not sure who it is supposed to reflect on more poorly....me or you? :lolol:

    I can't believe that someone wants to be taken seriously when they are always telling people that they aren't reading their posts. I mean, just asking him a simple question to clarify what he means when he responds to my post by just clicking the "hilarious" feedback generates a response that the average 12 year old would handle better.

    Agreed. It's a public message board. People are going to disagree. But if you trample on certain areas of his turf he starts going off the deep end. Not sure what that's all about.

    Sorry....wrong person...., but You already knew that when You said I called You Thor, but You wanted to make a big deal about it. LoL. Oh....no....nobody takes me seriously.....on a messageboard where nobody knows each other , and probably never will.....please say it isn't so. I guess You are young enough that matters to you, and I guess that I'm old enough that I could care less.

    I didn't read it....because I don't care what He says. I wouldn't even talk to the Guy , but He follows Me around quoting My comments....otherwise I wouldn't even look. As to the validation of what I write....is you life so small You worry about what someone You will never meet thinks about You...I seriously doubt it. Anyone that has read what I've said many times on here knows I know football, and can't be just making lucky guess all the time, and if they don't....ah well.

    If you didn't care what people thought of your arguments you wouldn't spend so much time debating and defending them, so spare us all that nonsense. That you dismiss information and opinions from people you don't like makes it very hard to take anything you write seriously.

    Why would I know you weren't talking to me? You have gone off on me before and said you weren't reading my posts. Why the hell would I think you weren't doing it again?

    I thought you were mocking me by calling me Thor because you have been going at it with him and you were comparing him to me.

    So you are the one that screwed up and told me you don't give a **** what I wrote because you didn't read it, but somehow this is my fault because I am trying to make a big deal about it? Got it.

    All you had to say is that you made a mistake. I am cool with that. But you had to go beyond that and somehow make this my fault and accuse me of playing this up.

    Do you ever accept responsibility for things you say or do? You accuse people of never admitting they are wrong about anything constantly in your posts, but here you are somehow trying to pass blame and absolve yourself.

    Here comes more of your bull$hit.

    I don't follow you around quoting you. You make this accusation all the time when you're caught acting like a fool in a discussion.

    Why don't you show everyone all those posts where you say I follow you around and quote you. I'm sure everyone would love to see all those posts where you say I'm stalking you.

    You gave feedback to my post when I hadn't quoted you on anything. That's what started this latest meltdown by you.

    This is just the latest example of you acting like a child after you created the entire situation by trashing me because you quoted the wrong post.

    If you don't want your bull$hit to be exposed, stop acting like a child and mistreating people that say things you don't agree with.

    Not getting your a$$ kicked in a debate would also help.

    Grow the F up and stop lying about others. Take ownership for what you say or shut the hell up.

    I really want to know what the discussion was between Rooney, Tomlin and whoever else was involved when they decided to keep Canada after 2022.

    What argument was used, and by whom, to convince everyone else that Canada is such a good OC that he should be kept for another season?

    Then don't read what I say. Simple. That's what I do. There are about 4 people on here that I automatically skip over what they say, and I wouldn't read anything they say if they didn't comment, and QUOTE me. Sorry if this is not true for You...., but unless You don't know this already....people are different in many ways.....I guess Me saying before Canada was our OC that making him our OC was a mistake, or that getting Trubisky was a mistake, or that Mason should be starting was all true, and said before it happened, and that makes some of You upset for some reason that I can't understand. So if You believe that I don't know what I'm talking about....don't read it....there are a few like I said I don't....because they don't really know what they see....they must be spoon fed, and don't know the difference between a screen, and a check down, or a dime, and a 34 D without looking it up, and thats just the simple things.

    I don’t think it was anything more than, he’s under contract so he stays. Then things got so bad they had no choice but to cut bait.

    The company line though was they didn’t want to push a new OC on Pickett so soon, they wanted continuity.
