Shula takes blame for lack of KB targets

So Mike has stepped up and accepted blame for KB basically being a non-factor yesterday, said he should have got him more touches even though he was seeing double teams...

Was wondering if he was going to accept blame for not changing up the game plan when it was clearly evident to the blind guy in the nose bleed seats that it wasn't working.

Just a thought guys. Do you think Shula showed move Benjamin around more (ex: switch sides off the field, put him in the slot) to get better matchups?

Is it possible it was more about playcalls and who the primary reads were.  Cam wasn't even looking at Kelvin Sunday 

Kelvin being covered has never impacted his targets before.

Just like Rivera, Shula knows his job is safe and knows it is easy to take the heat and deflect from the players. That is why our staff is so player friendly.

From what I saw surveying the field at the game. KB had single coverage most of the second half in first and second down especially.

You know Jeff too?

      I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that...

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
