After 3 weeks i think it is about time the Panthers offense start getting KB involved from the get go! The running game isnt gonna carry us and the defense can only give the offense so much time to score.

Kelvin Benjamin had shown he can come big and make plays when we need it the most also in my opinion this would help him evolve as a WR and truly reinforce his chemistry with Cam. I am surprised this has not been mentioned sooner but I think its time KB is given his big boy pants, he has shown he deserves them!

Our offense right now lacks spark and I like to think Shula realizes that. Cam at the moment cant be the one making all the plays with his feet since his injuries seem to be catching up to him. KB needs to be more involved from the start and force defenses to honour him which will inturn open up space for other players.

Just imagine a stacked offense where defenses have to keep a safety to watch KB, a linebacker or corner watching Olsen and at the same time they have to worry about Cam and the other WRs. We could even see a revival of our running game in the process. Call me an idiot but in my opinion this is a top 5 offense just ready to ignite!

The steelers loss may hurt but in my opinion it showed that this offense has huge amounts of untapped potential but for some reason Shula or whoever isnt using it. I hope things start clicking soon or else this season will be a long one. How long do you think our defense can hold while our snail paced offense takes its time against better teams like Seattle, Chicago, and Green Bay comin up.

I think Cam missing out on preseason and training camp is starting to show.

 

DA has already figured out that one-on-one with KB means throw a soft pitch in the air for him to go get. It really ain't that hard. 

 

Cam did. KB mis-timed his jump. Should have been a TD

 

He also did it last week, but KB was out of bounds

Cam is completing nearly 70% of his passes while playing with broken ribs behind the worst OL in the league.

Cam haters need to go shoot themselves.

lindseyj, I am in no way a Cam hater. I'm one of his biggest proponents and always have been - at least after the Panthers drafted him. I think he's in extraordinary talent that I've really never seen before. 

 

Injuries, OL play and lack of running game aside, I thought Cam could have taken more shots to KB when the Steelers were in man-to-man coverage. KB's a mismatch on any one DB. Exploit the mismatch until they adjust. Make them adjust and then find the weakness created by that adjustment.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
