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.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
