What to do about Bennett and Avril

We all know that speed rushers give our oline fits. These are really the two guys that can cause havoc in the backfield. Remmers is suspect already and Oher may have issues also. We can't afford to have Cam running for his life.....that's when the mistakes happen.  Can't let them storm the gates and be disruptive. You can bet that they have watched the result of the oline folding under a heavy rush and have plans to follow suit. How should Shula game plan to prevent this?

I think a healthy Jonathan Stewart would make a big difference for us in the pass blocking game. Tolbert needs to hold up too. Our tackles vs. their ends is my most concerning matchup. 

Honestly I think the way you neutralize them is to run Cam. Hell give him 15 carries. Get Cam moving towards the line of scrimmage and see who wants to hit him. When Cam is trying to scramble 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage, bad things happen. Obviously we need Stew to run the ball. Maybe some screens and play action. But for me, we need to have that Seattle defense huffing and puffing in the third Quarter. To do that, we need lots of first down signs from #1.

The combination of Oher and Olsen trying to block Bennett seems like a recipe for a 247-pound man bearing down on Newton or Jonathan Stewart shortly after the ball is snapped. For Avril’s part, he will be largely going up against Remmers in the pass game. The last time the two met, Remmers had the worst pass-blocking grade of his season, surrendering five pressures.

When you look back to the previous matchup in Week 6, Avril certainly got the better of Remmers, but Bennett was relatively quiet, posting an average pass-rushing grade but poor markings in run defense.

Add in a mixture of quick passes. Against Tampa Bay, Cam got sacked on back to back plays, the next series we started running quick slants with Funchess and Brown. Also, mix up the snap count and get them to jump off sides. Neutralize their aggressiveness by forcing them to hesitate about timing the snap.

I don't disagree with you. It will be important to gas their defense and keep the pocket clean for Cam. But I think the more important matchup will be our defense versus Russell Wilson. Either by containing him in the pocket and getting sacks, or by outstanding coverage when he scrambles or throws up his ducks, we need to shut him down. I think if we do that, it won't be a close game, even if the Seahawk defense is swarming all game.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
