Perspective about how weak we are...

At running the ball

Week 6 Cam finally runs around on his hobbled ankle with busted ribs...

And he is now our leading rusher on the year.

Shula and Ron need to wake and realize all the traditional running does is make life harder on Newton, the OL, etc. It doesn't work, waste downs and puts the O behind the chains. Now that Cam is a threat we need to operate heavily out of the shotgun and hopefully RBs can gain some yardage on runs out of that formation as teams worry about Newton and he opens up lanes for them.

Time to accept we have no choice but to be a Cam offense. We knew that but we need to make life easier on him and he is at his best away from these under center power run plays that we don't have the D to be playing around with

one thing they definitely need to work on is the hand off on shotgun/read option plays.

i know newton was playing with backup running backs, but my god it looked like he and the backs were fighting for the ball instead of trying to execute a play.

That is just Cam...seeing if he can get that hole to open up and keep it.

But I agree, the reads only look smooth with 28.

That's what makes Newton so effective in the read option plays. He's able to hang on to the ball till the very last second and pull it out and go. If he doesn't the DE will be able to read it alot better.

      All I can say is... I have some happiness off the rags choking and losing to the Panthers. Hopefully the Western conference team wins the Stanley cup, but now I can be 100% uninvested in the playoffs

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
