I know they said for Eason to come in they would have to run a really basic offense, could it get more basic than it already is?

Like I said previously, this isnt sustainable. Ones the rams start playing everything at the line of scrimmage we will go 3 and out over and over and the defense will get gassed. You have to take shots to keep the defense honest. Even if they dont work.

How sustainable is it though? What's the end game. Cmc gets ran into the ground and hurt and the defense knows everything is going to be at the los. We are 1-4. Why play tight.

Not using a timeout there when you're 1-4 is one of the most ridiculous overly conservative thing I've ever seen.

And Mcadoo wanted so and so qb when he was in NY. It doesnt make them a great coach unfortunately.

I'm still all in on the tank. We need a qb first and foremost. While its definitely true the first pick doesnt gurantee a good qb it is 100% the best odds for the Panthers right now. If you have the first pick you can pick any QB in the draft. Which means if they pick a qb and they bust and another one succeeds, they just missed on the pick. It was there to make. Gotta trust the scouts and GM. It's all in their hands.

The real question is how early does he get to practice?

I flat out said he deserved to be fired... I just think its ridiculous people try to turn him into this big evil villain. The locker room was a tight group, they liked Rhule no matter how much we want to see him as negative incarnate. The players liked Rhule, the players like Wilks. Both of those things can be true. Only fans outside of the locker room want to see it as it has to be one or the other. No matter how much some people want to hate him, he was just a dude who wasnt good enough at the job he was hired for, I dont think it was from lack of trying, he was just in over his head. Spoiler alert, the team is still going to have plenty of issues after he is gone. He wasnt the only problem and that will be clear. Also the roster has more talent now than it did when he inherited it. Hes not the boogeyman.

So many coming up with their own narratives. Heads up, Rhule needed to go, he also isnt the cause of everything you dont like about the panthers. Most of the players really liked him, you can find plenty of quotes from players today that confirm it. Luke is a big fan of Wilks, that's why hes there today. It doesnt have to have anything to do with Rhule. All of these things can be true. Was he deserving of being fired? Definitely. Is he this villain so much of the huddle wants to scapegoat for everything they dont like? Probably not. Let it go. He can't hurt you anymore.

I like him a lot but I want an offensive HC. Also I pray that we dont randomly go 500 the rest of the year even if that would be the panthers standard. 7 wins would be a classic panthers move.

Nooo. Let him ride into the sunset in peace.

I really dont think we are going to fire him, promote one of our current coaches as an interim and automatically start winning.

He was definitely hated here as a qb coach. Mostly because Cam always had the same strengths and weaknesses he came in with. I believe he was also considered more of a yes man.

I disagree. I think Flores is an ok coach. I would put him on the same level as Rivera or someone similar. The biggest thing that hurts his case in my mind is they had a pretty talented roster and the team didnt take a step back at all when he left, if anything theyve looked somewhat better.

Actually it definitely does. Our oline isnt making the dline pay for stretching out to bat them down. I'm not sure if its coaching or what. Also it doesnt have to be in the balls, can be gut, ribs, or a hard shove the second they try to extend to bat the ball down. Honestly it's hard for them to extend to bat the ball down if the olineman doesnt give them space as well. There are lots of options to slow it down, and I never see us doing any of them on tape.

There is plenty of blame to go around. No one on offense is playing especially well besides a lineman or two. The line will continue to gel though.

Yea that's one of the main things these days, great offensive coaches can really hurt great defensive teams by scheming and finding the mismatches and exploiting. Not always of course but it definitely seems to help.

How long ago were those examples though.

As someone else said earlier I would be great with Ben Johnson as HC and him bringing Mark Brunell with him as OC. I have no idea about potential DC yet.

Some players called him out after him and Mahomes got into it on the sideline a week or two ago. They basically just said he was overly confrontational and didnt really know much about the passing game and was just carried by talent. No idea the amount of truth in it, that's just what some former players said.

I would have agreed 10 years ago but these days offensive teams that are great at creating confusion and mismatches basically dominate the league.

I remember the days when the huddle definitely hated Dorsey. I've thought about mentioning it for a while but didnt want to get flamed for it lol. I'm not sold on him just yet. The Bill's offense has elite talent and has been pretty good for a while.

He got worse the more he played.. his best games were the first two he was on the roster.

Let. It. Go.

We had a team that won the first game of the season and then lost the next 15 in a row.
