Quick. What new wrinkle have you seen on offense so far this year?

this here is the biggest issue to our offense. Those constantly beating down Delhomme, granted you have valid points and I agree with those valid points, but this is THE BIGGEST reason our offense has killed it for the Carolina Panthers..

Absolutely no run game or pass protection...

As for wrinkles in the offense, well I've seen formations other than the I-Formation and the Single back formation, or 2 TE sets...... without much pass protection from the OLine, like '07 where we just couldn't expand due to a lack of cohesion, I doubt we see much expansion of the playbook...

Jake's lack of pocket presence, not protecting the ball, or just tossing it away to avoid the sack/fumble etc.... has nothing to do with the O-line getting raped.

He just doesn't, isn't, won't, has never, and never will have those qualities. My biggest gripe with the guy.

At the beginning of the season, i was not a supporter of giving goodson any substantive time on offense, primarily for two reasons:

1) deangelo and stewart had proven what they could do for this team, and i didn't want any carries taken away from either.

2) goodson had fumble issues in the preseason

but at this point, i want to see him get 6-10 touches from the backfield. he did some great things during the preseason and showed that he had vision, followed the gaps, and was able to cut and elude tackles. i want to see what he can do in the regular season. at this point, why the eff not?

The season is not yet at a point where the playoffs are out of reach and thus we need to give our touches to 28 and 34.

Goodson can take the KORs like he has and perhaps make something happen out of the slot or in the wildcat, but I believe that if we want to win (especially considering the fumbles) we need to hand the ball to the tried and true.

I HATE the word "wrinkle" when used in regards to our offense. I hates it when Fox used it when Davidson first arrived. I hated it when the players referred to the wildcat. And I still hate it now. Since when is a wrinkle a good thing? A forehead wrinkle means you are getting old. Wrinkled clothes need to be ironed. So why do I want new wrinkles in our offense?

You don't necessarily want new wrinkles.

There is the myth that our brains wrinkle when we learn something, so perhaps that's where that expression comes from?

I think we lost a wrinkle or two this season.

All this is solved when you dont get slammed to the turf every other play. Jake is taking just as many hit if not more the or RBs.

I think our Oline has lost 4 or 5. From spectacular to sucktacular in one season.

    • I think they are holding back to see what they have in the young guys, but I think it's a near certainty at some point they will bring someone else in. Right now (assuming we keep 5 CBs which is normal), the top 5 IMO are: 1) Jaycee Horn 2) Mike Jackson 3) Chau Smith-Wade 4) Shemar Bartholomew  5) Akayleb Evans   Obviously Jaycee is the alpha in that room and paid as such. Need him to stay healthy and continue to play at a Pro-Bowl level. Mike Jack did pretty well all things considered last year, and they gave him lower-level starter money. Fair deal for both sides.  Smith-Wade showed some promise as a slot CB. I think low-key he's a lock for the team. Different size and skill set than the other CBs. Shemar Bartholomew was the most sought after waiver claim last preseason. Was 5th CB most and inactive most of last year. Had a few defensive and ST snaps. Nothing of note good or bad but too small a sample size to make any judgment. Akayleb Evans was a 2022 4th Rounder for the Vikings. Has started 19 games (including Week 18 for the Panthers) in his career and played in 43. Was pretty good in 2023 before getting injured and falling down the depth chart last year. There's some other guys on the outside looking in, but until they show more in training camp I dont see anyway they make the 53. And only Jaycee, Mike Jack, and Smith-Wade are locks to make this roster IMO.  
    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.
