Regardless of what Baker is miss, and I'm sure it's plenty, Canales says he will never get 15 looks in this offense.
Stroud is hit or miss with his analysis and I agree that his take on Gage is mostly bad. But Brady did utilize him in a big way on 3rd down for better or for worse.
Moving Godwin to the outside has been a major miss imo. I get the injury concern but he's so good in the slot. Gotta play em there.

Agree this one is weird
May be more to the story
Canales says he will never get 15 looks in this offense.
Really?
Well...no shit.
Reason being there's LITERALLY NO RECEIVER IN THE NFL that consistently gets 15 targets per game.
2023 - Keenan Allen: 11.3 TPG
2022 - Justin Jefferson: 10.8 TPG
2021 - Cooper Kupp: 11.2 TPG
2022 - Stefon Diggs: 10.4 TPG
Another interesting tidbit for the Canales doesn’t scheme guys open crowd.
PFF came out with something interesting this week about the best receivers versus man coverage and their separation versus defenders.
Much to the chagrin of the “Pirate’s Cove Analysts”, there was a particular over-the-hill receiver on that list.
And, wouldn’t you believe it?!
He was literally the most wide open receiver against man coverage by a country mile.

Mike Evans getting open doesn't automatically mean he's being schemed open.
But you knew that...
It's the same thing I said with Lefty. The talent is finding a way in spite of the play calling.
Luckily Canales is much better than Lefty...
And you and I both have been huge Evans fans... because he's elite and criminally underrated.

And all this does is reinforce the fact that he should get 10 targets per game.

Seemingly with every post, you display a misunderstanding of how these things work. Expecting a WR to get 15 targets a game and blaming OC for who the QB targets (on multiple occasions) only reinforces that.

Uhh...do you think Evans is just doin' his own thang out there, or what? He's running the routes the offense is calling, and the routes are getting him open. You think Canales is doing a poor job, yet the proof in the pudding is guys are open, often wide, consistently. He's getting guys in space to make plays, but the QB is failing to get it there consistently. This isn't rocket science, and some of us have decades of football watching to understand these concepts. Godwin gets open, sometimes only with leverage, on a pretty frequent basis as well. But because he usually has a guy near him, Baker tends to be hesitant to throw it to him. Why he fails to throw to some of the more wide open targets is beyond me, and I'm just tired of it. Time to see what the kid has and move on from the Baker experiment. He'll never consistently produce enough points to win.

Say it louder for those in the back.
Perhaps some of Mayfield's hesitancy is Bowles proclamation ringing in his ears to "protect the ball"? Mayfield has been plagued by turnovers during his NFL career, but has done a better job protecting the ball during this season. This could be why he checks down so often while not throwing the ball to open receivers downfield. I'm beginning to think it's not a vision problem. Mayfield and Purdy are both 6'1". Purdy has no problem whatsoever finding open receivers downfield while in the pocket. I think Purdy has a better sense of where his receivers are in the coverage. The throw on Thursday to Aiyuk while he was surrounded by four defenders was a risky but great throw. Mayfield likely would have been intercepted trying the same throw.
ITS NOT COINCIDENCE (OR PLAY CALLING) THAT EVANS IMPACT HAS DIMINISHED
It's in bold, so it must be true.
His impact is so diminished that he's on track for 1,326 yards and 12 TD's.
Perhaps some of Mayfield's hesitancy is Bowles proclamation ringing in his ears to "protect the ball"?
I think this is a very valid point. And, if it is, just another reason (on top of the many others) why Bowles needs to be shown the door in a few months.
There's some solid grounds to support the notion that Todd has his hands on this offense more than some think.

Interesting stat here... how much Baker has lost due to drops.
And again I continue to reiterate that I agree he has left a LOT on the field point wise

Do you know what a hyperbole is? 15 is the high end of the volume he should see based on game script.
Like I said earlier, I'd like to see his FLOOR around 10 and him being top 5 in targets per game in the league.
For as big of a clown as Stroud is, the quote in the article from Canales is of course a hyperbole since nobody gets 15 a game.
I swear to God you have "ass burgers".

I think we can all agree he is the #1 issue
