Red Zone Efficiency

Recommended Posts

This goes to my point...why isn't Cam audibling out of some of this poo?  I just don't think he has the ability to do it. I have never poo'd on Cam...ever, until tonight.  I usually throw up an unfunny gif or throw in some un-criticizable comment about certain players. But after today's game I point out obvious flaws in Cam's game and how I don't think he is the answer and I have been called everything from a troll, flamer, hater, Saint fan, redneck, and racist.  

 

Sure Shula isn't doing great...but neither is our QB.

 

What is the definition of insanity?

 

Last year EVERYONE knew this offense was mediocre.  What did the FO do to address the struggling O AFTER the 49ers game in which the Panthers couldn't finish drives in the RZ, and after a season where our offense was struggling for large portions?

 

That's right. We did nothing except draft the 8th ranked TE/WR in the draft and made him our No. 1 go to threat. Then proceeded to strip the WR core down to nothing only to build it back up to mediocre--which is why Riviera said "We only need to replace about 10 catches a game."

 

The mediocre Oline got worse as folks retired and others got injured. The Panthers are literally rolling out their against the Defending SB champs with an entire line filled with undrafted journeymen.

 

Didn't do anything to address the problem of our QB being our leading rusher. At TE we remained the same.

 

 

Instead this Front Office has taken the stance that offense is an afterthought and only a unit that occasionally need updating. They continually sink resource after precious resource into it trying to create a dominate pass rusher and front 7.

 

Meanwhile, the Huddle, seeing all of this, decides...no it's the offense that should be leading the way after all off-season doing NOTHING to improve it.

Some folks just aren't cut out for certain roles.  Capers wasn't a good head coach but is a great D-Coordinator.  Shula isn't a good O-Coordinator but is .... ... well, probably good at something else.

 

Funny thing about our redzone, playcalling gets worse the closer we get to the endzone.  Inside the 5, just stack 11 between the hashmarks and hope our 10 push back your 11.  It seems like Shula gets nervous and afraid of turnovers, so he gets conservative and predictable.  What a momentum killer.

    • They won my vote of confidence for this year
    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
