Since we make fun of opposing fans for their simplistic ways for gameplanning against us, how would YOU do it?

You're the coach of a .500 team with okay talent on offense and defense. How would you go about attacking us? I'm not thinking of many good options. The very few times we've stuggled on offense this year, it's been when defenses have aggressively blitzed us. As for defense: have we really struggled on defense this year? I'm assuming Colin Jones won't be playing cornerback for too much longer, so...I have no idea! As long as we aren't letting our foot off the gas in the 4th, I can't remember the defense struggling. Maybe you could send a running back on a curl route to get them in front of a linebacker to at least move the chains?

The only weakness I've seen on our defense has been the big plays we give up when running backs cut back and our linebackers over pursue. Also, I'm afraid of speedy backs since they seem to give us more fits than power backs. But that isn't enough. It would really take a smart quarterback and outstanding o-line so that the QB could pick apart our zone, but I'm not convinced that any team has that combination. At this point, the Panthers are the only team that can beat the Panthers (and I mean that we will only lose if we don't play to our potential).

well to begin with there's a reason this team is undefeated. so if you're a .500 team with average talent on both sides of the ball, odds are your gameplan isn't going to work either way.

on offense, take away 88 with double teams, contain Cam in the pocket, try to stop the run... and there is a good chance you still lose.

as to beating our D, lol.  I mean exploit our weakness w/that slot receiver until we get peanut back, but most of all protect the goddamn ball. make our o march the full length of the field, because that may keep the game close enough that they could get a couple lucky plays

If I were a DC gam planning against this team Id start with a zone blitz scheme that attempted to disguise who was coming from where.  Cam's game is starting down the road to (and don't lose your mind when I say this) Peyton's gam- get lined up and make the play call based on what you see. So you have to beat him with the formation and deception.

Fwiw, Dallas did a pretty decent job against us.  Although I think we went heavy run after the 3rd qtr td.  We would likely have been able to score more if we mixed it up a bit. 

But I would focus on stopping the run, in particular stopping the qb from running.  Keep Cam in the pocket, hit him a lot when he runs, and focus pass defense on stopping the deep ball to Ginn, Brown, and company.  And I would double Olsen.

 

Of course, that might mean Stewart has a big game, but you have to pick your poison.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
