“He’s being way more vocal,” Panthers defensive end Kony Ealy told co-host Gil Brandt and me on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “He’s doing what the Kobe Bryants and Michael Jordans are doing — that’s knowing how to challenge the player. Not challenging to throw them down but bring them up.

“I love it.”

 

Quote

 

...... Newton dedicated himself to further mastering Carolina’s offense. Newton is at the point where he chooses the play based upon the defensive look he’s getting. This should lead to a faster-paced attack.

“That’s where you see him at his best,” Rivera said. “In all honesty, we say he’s playing Madden. He’s seeing what’s going on and then — bam! — he’s clicking buttons and making his calls and adjustments and reads.

“When he practices poorly is when we slow the tempo down and get into the huddle. He likes the frenetic energy. To me, that’s where he’s confident. He wants to go. He doesn’t want to slow down. You’ll see a lot of our up-tempo offense I think throughout the year and I think you’ll really get a good chance to get a sense for his development and growth.”

 

Good read.  I am glad to see that [it seems] the Panthers will be going more no huddle...Cam really gets into a rhythm with the no huddle and has gotten pretty darn good at reading defenses and selecting the right play.  This offense might just be something really special.

Also speaks to the value of continuity within a system.

I know people want to fire the OC on an annual basis (even last year when we had the number one offense) but there's something to be said for keeping your star quarterback in an offensive attack that he knows well, and likes.

Hopefully they stop going to a ball control offense in the second half of games after jumping out to a lead this season.  I'm pretty sure that's what's been stalling the offense and allowing others teams to come back last season.  Luckily they managed to pull them out but my nerves would appreciate it if they would cut that out.

Does this mean that maybe we won't be running the play clock to zero before snapping the ball 90% of the time putting even more pressure on our mediocre OTs by giving the snap away? That'd be nice. 

Defensive linemen can't see the play clock when in their stances.

Unless they turn the clock off at the end zone behind the quarterback (entirely possible), the defense can see it. I've no idea though if they only run the clock facing the QB.

This is exactly what I kept saying would happen if we kept the same system and allowed Cam to master the system instead of changing systems and doing an Alex Smith on him. 

It is really gratifying to see this offense grow and thrive under Shula and his coaches. They have really developed the perfect system to maximize Cams talents.  I could see Cam having another MVP year.

The leap Cam made last season in his play and understanding of our offense and opposing defenses was obvious to everyone. If he's made yet another leap, then we might have the best QB in the NFL second only to future HOF QB Tom Brady. Add to that the return of KB, and maturation of Funchess, and our offense could be the best the Panthers franchise has ever fielded. If ever Kalil were going to make a SB prediction in the paper... on second thought scratch that.

      Bryce stats past the sticks

      That's a very incorrect statement right off the bat, coaches get fired for winning ugly all the time.  Every coach of a playoff team that then gets fired, got fired because they won ugly and didn't improve their players enough to win in the postseason. Guys like Andy Reid have been fired for "winning ugly" like you said, because they kept winning in spite of the improvement of their players. Also, "this is a fanbase starved for wins" is a statement I also don't agree with, I'm not "starved for wins", I'm "starved for a winning and contending franchise" which are two VERY different things. If the team and fans just want to win some games, then that's a loser mentality, sorry, but it is.  We should want to contend, not win a handful of games.  Every time this comes up I point back to the Lions the last 5 years or so.  They were losing games but improving every week while doing so a few years back.  THAT is how you improve as a franchise and move the needle towards contending, not winning games ugly.

      Good lord. I don’t think I have ever seen a hole that open.

      this is true.  But NFL Ss and defenses are actively taking that away and playing to take them away vs most teams.  The problem thus far in BY's career......is they are cheating and not respecting the deep game which makes the smaller/mid range game harder to pull off.  and Dallas is an anomaly game.  using those random games that run counter to vast work......doesn't really change the discussion/issues in Carolina.  Bryce Young took the shots this week because they were not just NFL open but college open.    Wide open dudes downfield that really were coverage busts/issues.
