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.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
