Was listening to their radio show this morning, had John Gruden on talking about Cam and the offense. John said he's never seen an offense ran like the Panthers since he's been in the NFL, talked about how well they are doing w/o Benjamin and no real star receivers... said Cam has come a long way.

Greenberg said Rivera is COTY at this point in the season, said he loves how he and the staff haven't tried to turn Cam into something he isn't, said Shula is doing a great job at calling plays that utilize Cam's skill set.

Nothing better than a little Panther love first thing in the morning.

The simple fact our power run game includes a QB going up the gut makes us unlike anything the league has dealt with.  

That isnt fancy.  That isn't a wow play.  But that is a play that is near impossible to shutdown given Newton's size/power

Key element that makes that triple option, power QB, etc run schemes work is that we pass the ball out of those same schemes.  Other than that, when we break the pocket, the defense has to be equally prepared for traditional pass play--no more loading up the box, because we'll come out and pass it, too, which is amazing [as had been talked about ad nauseum] because of our WRs corps.

We have the most complex running game in the NFL bar none.  We not only use multiple sets but run a number of different plays out of each set including pass plays from what looks like run sets and running plays from 2 or 3 wide passing sets.  This offense is hard to stop because we have a quarterback who understands what the defense is giving us and can run or pass on virtually any play.

It has taken some time for the offense to morph into what we have and it is a testament to Rivera ignoring all the Shula hate and giving the coaches time to develop and hone this offense into what we are enjoying now. 

I am glad that everyone else is finally realizing what I have been saying for a while now.

Interesting what a few wins does?  For the media and the fanbase...

I really started to pay more attention to the way we ran our offense after the article posted where Greg Cosell talked about how complex and deep our running game is.  Now I'm not anyone special, but we were so effective it was scary.  It all centers on Cam though.  Defenses have to watch his read, which slows everything down.  Sure we don't win all of our plays, but we've been winning more than we lose, hence the record.

What a wonderful time to be a Panthers fan!  It's been a long time coming!

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased.

      Giannis

      By Raleigh PF · Posted

      It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
