Every offensive drive: Reality vs Huddle Bias

[panther4life]

The Shula hate thread inspired me to go back and see what happened again. So I did and heres how every drive ended for us:

So here's how every drive ended.

1: TD pass to Benjamin

2: 3rd and 5. Cam lets the D rush in ( same way you would on standard screen pass). Shovels to Tolbert, which was sniffed about by the safety and drive ended. Not a bad play call if you go back and watch. If Tolbert beats the safety he had plenty of green grass ahead.

3: TD on outside run by Cam.

4: Ball received at Denver 31 with 1:45 left in half and 0 timeouts. 54 yard drive to Denver to 26. Ends with Gano FG.

5: 3rd and 1. Defense plugs the middle. Literally had 9 in the box and entire focus looked like they were trying to stop a QB sneak up the gut.  We have a jumbo I- formation with Tolbert and Whitaker in the backfield, (7 men on line), funchess comes in motion. Daryl Williams retreats back inside and pancakes the mile high breeze vs taking Shane Ray on.( he lined up to the left of Oher, must have reported as a tight end).  This forced Funchess to attempt to block Ray in addition to his initial target ( Talib). Ultimately Ray and Talib stop us just short. Williams failed execution can be blamed here not the play design.

6th drive: 3rd and 3. Funchess is sent deep, Olsen, Dixon and Benjamin are running slants/crossing routes across the middle. They needed 2.4 seconds to get open, Ware was bringing Cam down within 2.2 seconds of the snap.

7th drive: Kalil facemask (15 yards) and Funchess false start left us at 3rd and 30. We got 13 on a pass to Benjamain.

8th drive: 2nd and 4. Short slant to Benjamin. Pass gets tipped and picked.

9th drive: Ends on Denver 18 after Talib makes nice pass break up on pass intended for Funchess. Ends with Gano FG

10th drive: No time out's , excellent drive to get us in FG range with limited time on clock. Ends with Gano's missed kicked

I don't see how this supports Shula

until this offense learns how to do screens, slants, quick plays, sweeps or Even a a counter tre running play, something other than up the middle, it is all on Newton all the time 

there is more than one way to run the ball and putting Cam under center isn't a sin either

Out of 10 drives we scored on 4. 

Here's the 6 we did not

1.The Tolbert shovel pass was kin to a screen play.

2. Cam stuffed on outside run (not the middle as you say) due to failed blocking by Daryl Williams.

3.  Quick Slant to Benjamin intercepted. 

4. Quick play to 3 available targets, just not quicker than Ware was to Cam as he got to him for the sack in a hair over 2 seconds.

5. 20 yards of penalties killed the drive on another. Face mask and false start. None can be blamed on Shula.

6. Excellent drive with limited time, gets in FG range. Gano misses kick.

So we literally attempted everything except a "sweep run or counter run" that you asked for on every stalled drive.

So basically cut Tolbert and sign Wegher?

Do like Igo asks bring back Lee Ward aka the Punisher

Why did we never "try" to stretch the field with a deep pass ?

Denver's fullback showed us there's still a place in the NFL for these guys. I think a real blocker out of the backfield would be huge for this offense.

Lee Ward works, too. We need another Brad Hoover.

Because cam took enough helmet hit to helmet hits as it was? 

[Millioso7]

My son's lab partner at Virginia Tech, Sam Rogers, fits the bill. Kid is a good player, and smart, too.  I wouldn't mind seeing him in Carolina next year.

Again, the Huddle really needs to stop paying so much attention to what our offense is or isn't doing...the Panthers offense is not the focus of this team...DEFENSE is.

What I am concerned about his how our defense gave up 14 points to a Broncos offense that is led by a QB that barely beat out Mark Sanchez.
