Panthers Offense Also Has To Keep Cam From Getting Hit Too


beastson

Recommended Posts

We can discuss all day about illegal hits, but Mike Shula/Cam and this offense must start working on how to get the ball out faster. The 1st half against Denver was perfect in execution, 3 step drop passes, Cam not dropping too far back, misdirection and zone read with our RB's, we kept Cam out of harms way. 

Until the 2nd half, they do a complete 180 back to our usual offense

I agree, but what also needs to happen is our hog mollies need to stand up for Cam when he gets hit like in the Denver game... they acted like it was perfectly fine that Cam was getting assaulted.

Cam needs to be able to read a green dog blitz. The blockers also need to release after a chip or fake block. There will always be a free defender spying Newton or coming to hit him like the Broncos were doing by anticipating that he will try to extend the play. Newton has to hit a blocker who releases if their defender is blitzing, throw the ball to the sideline at the feet of the releasing blocker, or throw the ball up deep in a man on man situation and trust that the receiver will win the battle.

He should never break the pocket and try to extend the play without expecting to have the free defender ready to hit him immediately.

The only way to stop a green dog blitz is to have a WR who can dominate their defender one on one. Two seconds and throw the ball. Until a receiver can consistently win their one on one match ups, Cam will see much more of the Green Dog Blitz from opposing teams. This will keep Cam from scrambling to extend a play. The Panthers offense must prove they can beat it all game long.

How many years now have most of us said, 'Cam get the ball out faster'?

Bingo. This is the slowest team to evolve I have ever seen. I saw a stat that Newton in his brief career had been hit 588 times

Think about that 588 times starting his his sixth year, the next closest is 200+

Also. It is past time for an upgrade at tackle. If Darryl Williams can't beat out Remmer, well if not now, when?

this club needs to stop the bargain hunting and reclamation projects on  the oline and there is always an excuse

i am sorry but if we could trade up to get Funchess...if we could give a 4th Rd for a punter, we should be able to get a decent tackle

...or find one good young fullbacK or TE who can block and catch.

    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
    • The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.
