Cam Newton Deep Pass To Russell Shepard


Saca312

Recommended Posts

One guy people sleep on is Russell Shepard. I already said his film shows a very good route-runner with a lot of potential. He's at minimum a decent upgrade over Philly Brown. 

Here he is on the deep pass. Cam Newton throws a beauty:

He has a legitimate shot of making an impact this season. Keep your eyes peeled on this guy.

Last year if someone was to try to compare Russell Shepard to Philly Brown at this time they would have been run off this board. Now he is far superioir without ever taking a real snap with this team.

Don't get me wrong, I think he has a good chance of fitting in nicely with this team.

You do good work Saca with your analysis but a little more objectivity would be good. At least cut back on words like elite and far superioir all the time. It would go a long way your legitimacy. Keep doing you though, just some constructive criticism.

He's too big of a homer, he makes excuses for poo players like Worley & Funchess.

Funchess is give or take. I see his potential, but I can see why he may not do well.

Worley is proven. Anyone who watches his film sees that.

You're the only one here who thinks Worley sucks and Funchess is only in his third season so the jury is still out on him. As for Sheppard, he is definitely an up and coming player and the Tampa fans hated losing him. Those guys tend to do well in this offense, regardless of how much you hate Shula.

Adams  was a little late helping on that play, but that could also be Cam doing a good job of looking him off. You can see him looking to his left before he threw it to the right. Nice job by him and Sheppard.

Yeah that was on Adams. Safety is responsible on all deep routes between the numbers.

Not only that, it's the first day of camp and not one player has pads on. 

Enthusiasm is nice, but this is a long and dynamic process.

Actually plenty of people on here think Worley sucks. Not agreeing with them, just pointing that out. Some objectivity is needed in Saca's posts though as they all seem to be ridiculously positive lately. Which is fine but let's actually see some padded practices and some preseason film before we name a guy a starter

You haven't seen my TD or Matt Kalil posts lately?

I barely said a positive word about anything I saw from Kalil.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
