Philly Brown in Singleback


CoastalCat

Recommended Posts

Can someone explain the handful of plays we ran last night with Philly lined up in the backfield behind Cam? 

It looks like they are going to maybe reverse, but then he just kind of settles in a few seconds before the snap. I understand faking, or running, a reverse with the correct timing, but don't understand how we're running it. I don't think I've ever seen him get the ball from this position, and he doesn't really seem to have a roll in the play, even to effectively block. 

Anyone?

if a defense is really stacked up at the line and they are thinking of doing a zone read.....bringing in Philly gives Newton an outlet and makes the defender assigned to Cam now have two jobs. 

So if the Stewart lane is clogged off the snap it gives Cam more wiggle room on his keeper.  Means his defender has to not just worry about his run but a pitch.  Slow D on the zone read play and gives him an option.

 

at least that is why I think they do it.

I think you're talking about basically this play. Shula has been using since he became OC. The idea is to get the linebackers to think you're running an option one way then send the RB with the ball the opposite way. Though I don't recall us really ever actually doing the option.

We have run the option out of this look, i have no idea where to find it, but the first season we had Ginn we did, fake the hand-off and run the pitch on the back-side, I wanna say vs the Saints.

Yeah, I'm sure we have a couple times, but mostly it's the counter to the RB every time.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
