That Crazy Joe Web Wildcat Play

Very nice analysis of the play call and what went wrong over at C-S-R

http://www.catscratchreader.com/2015/11/12/9726836/carolina-panthers-film-analysis-re-visiting-the-wildcat-formation

Here's an excerpt:

 

Unfortunately, left tackle Michael Oher is completely driven back by the Packers' defensive end. As a result, Joe Webb suddenly stops following his lead blocker Silatolu, and tries cutting up the field. This is a terrible decision by Webb. Despite Oher giving up some ground, Webb should have continued running towards the bottom of the formation, following his lead blocker Silatolu. Notice all the space at the bottom of the formation. If Greg Olsen and Philly Brown can hold their blocks, and if Silatolu is able to take out the safety further down the field, this could have been a solid gain, and potentially even a touchdown.

Look at the size difference on Cam and whoever has him at the top of the screen. That is a match up nightmare.

I think Cam was thinking about this play when he joked about how good his hands are in his presser. He had probably just watched it on film earlier in the day and made the typical wide receiver "look I was open" comment. He had a twinkle in his eye talking about how good his hands are.

As far as the getting hit comments. I would rather him get hit by safeties and corners over DL and linebackers. This is actually a safer play for Cam than the norm and its a penalty if they take him out past 5 yards.

I was pissed at the call when it happened but looking at the design actually look forward to seeing what they do with it moving forward.

That was the worst call at the worst possible moment against a stellar team.  Right up there , with an end around that we had run in previous games and GB clearly looking for it in our own territory.

pamthers don't blow out teams and do not need, and can't afford, to get too cute.  Had they scored a TD or even a field goal on that wasted sequence the ending could have been a lot less stressful 

should throw both plays away for a very very long time

It is just a poor design.   Webb is your 3rd string QB.  Not a RB.   Therefore the play doesn't present a heavy run look to actually open up the pass to Cam.  

So you basically downgrade at QB and WR....as your "trick".

I wouldn't call it poor design. GB bit on the Ginn jet motion. Poor execution yes. It was never designed as an option pass. Webb is supposed to run left where they had numbers. I am fine with Webb running it. He is pretty good in space and is already returning Kick offs.. I bet we see it a few more times every couple of games as a designed run.  If they break off a good run out of it that's when they might come back to it with a pass option. Maybe against Dallas on a short week where the D doesn't have as much time to prepare.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
