If I am San Fran or any team


CRA

Recommended Posts

I realize that Cam Newton is the key cog in Carolina beating us.  Defensively it may take awhile to adjust to really being good because frankly McD is going to have to scheme around our DE and DB situation (and that won't happen overnight)

so if I am San Fran...I tell my D to see where the refs draw the line on Cam.   I expect them to really go after Cam Sunday.  Then back off of only when the refs make them.  Keep pushing the envelope until it isn't worth it. 

I still don't think refs view Cam as a guy that will get "tradtional" position protection after all this.

That's why the Panthers D will have to return the favor, I don't care if we injure cpl of player a game long as it's the opposing team getting the punishment.

Here's the thing, not every team plays dirty like that. Everyone has known the key to beating the Panthers is limiting Cam. They just haven't figured out how to do it. I doubt coaches are saying go hit him in the head. The Broncos really didn't leak a blueprint or expose anything. They can't beat Cam fair and square is what they proved. Again, even with the dirty hits and missed calls, Carolina almost won that game. Gano missed a field goal. There aren't many teams like Denver. They're good and dirty.

I agree with you but we do play a couple of teams this year that have less than stellar records for playing clean.

Rams and NO? 

I just don't think they've figured out how to beat Cam without trying to take his knees out or head off. I believe we will be fine. I don't think a 15-1 record but we will be fine.

the bronco's leaked the blue print to beating the panthers. keep in mind we haven't played a team besides Denver for 7 months. 

It's a great blueprint if you have top level talent in the secondary and the pass rush. Most teams don't have that, pretty much no other team has their level.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
