Canales sounds hesitant or not happy about the decision? Do you guys agree?

SilverEagle · September 17, 2014

I don't know if he sounds unhappy as much as he looks tired.

He probably isn't. I'm guessing this was a case where Mac had to intercede and say if his QBs didn't step-up they were going to have to go with Dajon. I think he had high hopes for Greer.

Green Crazy · September 17, 2014

I wouldn't say "not happy", but there is something. that something could be about a lot of things that haven't gone the offenses way though.

ChristopherRyanWilkes · September 17, 2014

Plus he's having to re-do his offensive strategy completely around Dajon

Ben Gooding · September 17, 2014

"It'll be interesting to see..." Uhh that is fan talk, not coach talk. I hope he doesn't go into his game preparation and more importantly in-game play calling with the mentality of "I told you so."

Green Crazy · September 17, 2014

what does that mean bg?

MeanGreen01 · September 17, 2014

I got the same impression from watching the clip. Canales looked tired and not that excited about the decision. I'm sure this is also pride swallowing since he is now having to go to the 3rd stringer when he possibly made the wrong decision going into this year. I'm sure its a combination of all of this. Winning solves everything and i'm praying this will be the case for the future for him and this team.

Travis · September 17, 2014

I didn't get a negative impression. he seemed the way he does a lot of the time.

MeanGreen01 · September 17, 2014

Ben Gooding: I totally agree, I hope he does too.

VideoEagle · September 17, 2014

No, I don't think so. To me, Canales comes across as someone used to talking to a reporter but not to a camera.

Cerebus · September 17, 2014

He looked tired to me. Hopefully that is because he has been working round the clock to get the offense optimized.

MGNation92 · September 17, 2014

Just spoke to a guy in my class that is good friends with John Chelf. According to Chelf, Dajon is fairly clueless as far as the playbook goes, but they didn't run the ball once in practice. Literally threw it the entire time. So that should be interesting to see how that works out.

"It'll be interesting to see..." Uhh that is fan talk, not coach talk. I hope he doesn't go into his game preparation and more importantly in-game play calling with the mentality of "I told you so."

I watched that clip a couple times looking for this quote. All I caught was "it's going to be exciting to see what he can do." And at the end he ends it with "it'll be an exciting time." That sounds pretty positive to me.

No, I don't think so. To me, Canales comes across as someone used to talking to a reporter but not to a camera.

I agree. He might look a little tired but that could be because he's doing an interview after finishing up something like a practice or something.

I met one of our starting receivers at a restaurant right after the smu game. He said the same as MGNation92 just said... he doesn't know the playbook all that well and that he is a real quiet guy, not as vocal as he would like to see him. With this said... This receiver did say that he is the best athlete of them all. He also commented that if he and DW were ever in the game together it will be a guaranteed TD, every time. And after last week I would say he is correct!!! Hopefully he will be more focused on the playbook since he is starting now and he may become more vocal.. I'm just glad we have someone that can run and throw back there... REGARDLESS, if he does know the playbook or not that well, he can obviously throw better and if he does get in trouble he can run!! Excited to see him Saturday

Green Crazy · September 17, 2014

I didn't get a negative impression. he seemed the way he does a lot of the time.

This is how I'm used to hearing him, at least on interviews. This popped up after the current video on the youtube screen.

Again, it could be a number of reasons for his demeanor.

I didn't get that. Just busy.

I bet Chelf is bitter that McNulty didn't get te job.

This offense better dramatically improve our Canales is going to have some explaining to do

A look back at DW's high school highlights:

All of the QBs have those highlights from HS, all that matters is what he can do at D1 level. Greers highlight video might be more impressive than DW.

Travis Scott · September 17, 2014

I wonder if the play calling will be very simple on Saturday so DW is not overwhelmed.

Andrew · September 17, 2014

This is making me more and more bummed that I can't make the game on Saturday. The one guy I have been pulling for and I won't get to see his first start :/
