The Answer is on the Roster

We should have no problem featuring one of the best rushing attacks in the league. We were already 7th in rushing last season and rushed for 320 yards in the playoffs versus a stout Cardinals and dominant Seahawks defense. And that was with Stew missing time, no Tolbert, no CAP, no Tackles, and a hobbled Cam.

"all suited to dominate in a run game provided an adequate scheme and play calling."

I have doubts about Shula, his play calling, and schemes. They've struggled to run the ball in preseason so far. Combine that with Stewarts health and no Deangelo and this isn't looking to be so good. Hopefully things will work out as the season progresses

We lost a second year wide receiver, a good one, but still just a second year wide receiver. Someone who wouldn't have gotten a shot will get one this year, now. 

Last year, Cam didn't have Smitty, so he had to look for Benjamin. This year he doesn't have Benjamin, so he will have to look for whoever will lead the WRs. A good QB, with his contract, his experience, can make it work and can become better because of it.

 

 

Love the sentiment and wish I had full faith in said qb and better yet the coaching staff to put who we need to win onto the field ( and earlier than the second half of the season )

i mean in all honestly i feel like a lot of people here we're gonna be surprised when they weren't that great this year WITH KB. yeah they won the division but with a losing record and they didn't get exceptionally better in any area. i had a 9-7 prediction that now drops to 8-8

I woke up this morning to find the bulk of Panthers Nation on football suicide watch in the wake of the Kelvin Benjamin ACL news. While the situation does look dire for the Panthers receiving corps, it isn't the end of the 2015 Panthers playoff hopes. 

The Panthers simply need to look at the offensive talent they have on their roster (and there is plenty of it), and embrace an identity that matches it. 

What should that identity be? 

Answer: A hard nosed running attack with play action passing. 

The Panthers do not have the roster currently to attack by the air. It just will not happen this year folks. However, the Panthers do have a very strong roster for running the ball. Embrace it. The pendulum started to swing last year. Teams have smaller, faster defenses with sub packages to combat the passing game of today's NFL. The time is now to run the ball in a power running game and turn their defensive strength into a weakness. 

Oher, Norwell, Kalil, Turner, Remmers, and even rookie Daryl Williams are all suited to dominate in a run game provided an adequate scheme and play calling. Stewart, Tolbert, Todman, Artis-Payne, Brockel and even the rookie Lee Ward are perfect weapons in the offensive backfield for this approach. So they want to put 8 or 9 in the box? Good, let them. 

Pretend it is 1978, line up your biggest meanest guys and pound out a few yards at a time. Throw a quick out to Greg Olsen, or a long bomb to Ted Ginn out of play action. Bootleg Cam Newton for a big gain once the defense is tired and gasping for air. 

Forget running out of the shotgun. Forget the finesse two tight end sets. Forget the bubble screen to a 4th receiver. Forget single back sets. 

And for the love of all that is holy, please do not pretend last year's offensive scheme will work with the current Panthers personnel. 

Because...
