You can count on the Carolina Panthers running this play to CMC

His fingers are too fat to grab on to anything at the moment. Except a cheeseburger.

I don't buy into the narrative that Shula wouldn't know what to do with McCaffrey (and Samuels).  IMO, he is able to design good game plans and schemes, his problem is situational play calling and adapting on the fly.

With that said, even if he has no clue himself of what to do, we have a clear blueprint that all he has to do is copy and paste into our playbook.  He doesn't have to be creative, how to best utilize McCaffrey has already been created...and we have one of the practitioners on our staff.  

That is about the best description of Shula I have ever seen on this board. To say he is incapable of designing plays is just plain wrong. Most people bash him mostly because of what he did at Alabama, but he was just doing what Alabama is still doing today. They rely on a very nasty defense  and a good running game to win games. Basically, they just plain beat people up. Shula had never run a zone read before he came here either, so obviously he can adapt the scheme.

I just hope our defense is ready to be on the field a lot more, because I have a feeling this offense will have the ability to score quickly and often.

Hmmm. yes, that's a potential drawback of a quick-scoring offense that it's easy to overlook, especially given the age of some of our players on Defense.  Something to keep an eye on.

Yep! But it's a nice problem to have.  Another on the plus side is that if we can put up big numbers, then teams will feel pressure to also score so as not to fall too far behind.  That should result in mistakes, which in turn should improve our defensive turnover numbers.

You're telling me being good on offense and defense leads to playoff-contending caliber teams?

So Christian McCaffrey

Curtis Samuel

Jonathan Stewart

And Cam Newton

Is there any legitimate way to stop this offense? Seriously, is there?

... Bane shows up?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Shula's brain just farted watching that.

Just add in Samuel to the mix and expect defenses to stop that.

Not to mention being forced to account for KB's size and Olsen's presence. Lord.

Yea we built up our offense in a big way this year. Much faster and just as big. The options you get with Samuel and CMac is going to be difficult to defend. One play will be able to ran 5 different ways.

I fully expect us to look like a college team at some times.

Mis direction shovel passes, reverses, a lot of pre snap motioning from slot to back field setting up triple option plays, I really wish we had a true offensive minded coach. I really hope Shula doesn't take these two new toys and in a way takes a step backwards. 

I hope Lance Taylor spends a ton of time with Samuel. I'm not sure who OSU's War coach is or how much time CS even spent practicing with WR's but if this kid can clean some things up he could be dangerous
