Mike Shula not worried about slow starts

Here's an idea that I've never seen brought up here... Hire another "offensive assistant" like we did with Ramsdell before he retired and then promote him to play caller. Shula is a terrible play caller and situational coach but his philosophy and playbook is not the worst in the league. I don't want him here at all but I don't see him getting fired any time soon but we could relieve him of his play calling duties and Ron can still be happy that his boy still has the title "OC." Not all coordinators call the plays. Or just have Cam call every single play. Maybe he'll just be smart enough to do that anyways and audible out of literally every play.

I think that because Rivera is primarily a defensive minded Coach he is unfortunately satisfied with vanilla offensively. This is a complete waste of Cam Newton's talent. Proof of this are Rivera's comments last year stating that WR's only needed to make 10 more catches per game. He does not value the need for offensive production versus the defenses ability to stop or reduce the other team's production. Until Rivera values a more balanced approach that looks at offense being equally important I think that Mike Shula and his vanilla approach is here to stay.

That is actually the only part Shula gets right (some of the time anyways).  Sometimes you have to go against tendencies on 3rd down.  The defense knows you want to throw a short pass near the first down marker and will play accordingly.   I don't fault Shula for that.  I just think his overall philosophies are what is holding the offense back.

When you do it so much though it is the tendency. Also he calls the deep passes to Cotchery.

I remember those comments made by Rivera. He is just as clueless as Shula is.

This fool should be fired off of this interview alone. He basically admitted he doesn't want the to score points. How does he think we're going to win a game? It's ridiculous that he is still here with his wack ass play calling holding back the offense.

I agree wholeheartedly!  How can you NOT be worried about a a glaring deficiency in your offense???? And I would think that it's fixable, but he's not worried about it....

      Canales is in most critical point of his tenure

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.

      Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
