Every team in the league would love to have a good enough lead, to run the ball and the clock out for the last 8 minutes of the game. You call it being predictable, while the players and coaches call it, imposing their will, and securing the game.

Except for :

Again, I'll repeat for you because you didn't read what I posted previously and you're ignoring the context, I'm talking about the play-calling series of 3 straight runs with 1st and goal at the 6.

If you think bootleg-middle run-middle run-FG is "imposing your will", I don't know what to say.

1st quarter. 

2nd and 7. 

The Panthers have Jonathan Stewart and Christian McCaffrey, the best RB duo since double trouble. 

 

Hand off to Fozzy Whitaker for 1 yard.

lol

serious question as I wondered for years especially during the DeAngelo era (the start and end of it) about position coaches and what role they play come gameday. 

In the flow of a game....who dictates which RBs go in and out? Does the RB coach have a role in that?  An OC can't really manage positions play to play.   I have always thought the RB usage in games has given a consistent nod  to vets under Skipper.   Is that not Skipper throwing Fozzy a bone? Or is Mike Shula really making a random one Fozzy play early in the game?

Then i suggest you take your complaint up with Cam.  

We already had a lead, Cam was beyond rusty, and they were safe plays that prevented a turn over, and still put points on the score board.

Hows that for context?

I got no major beef w/ Shula.  I mean if your intent is to run the ball and play D.....you are going to hire a Shula type.    If that is your model for success then give him bodies to do that. 

now, if you aren't down w/ ball control, running and playing D?  That is fine.  I get not liking that style. 

but with Shula ball we are now 41-23-1 with 3 NFCS titles and a NFC Championship and Cam Newton managed to get himself a MVP.  Shula can't be that bad.   Not saying he is the reason for that success but he is part of the formula we are applying.

Simple answer to the OP is that he deserves it. You don't have to watch many Panthers games to see his pattern of absolutely horrendous situational play calling and terribly designed pass plays. His is the guy that called a flea flicker to Cotchery, bubble screens to Bersin, ran that damn double pump screen into the ground until at least twice it got picked off by defensive LINEMEN for TDs, and many other examples.

Once again, the OC doesn't call in the substitutions. 

So if I am to understand you correctly, before Shula is to call a play, he is to know which substitutions are being made, and then decide on the play call, and call it in, and hope to hell that they get the play off before the play clock hits zero?!?!?

Man, so many of you have severe unrealistic expectations of our OC. 

Reality is, no matter who is on the field, they must execute, and then it still comes down to Cam. 

 

How does wanting him to use his players correctly have anything to do with what you said? It's  unrealistic to know what players you have in the game? You make it seem like it's a big ask. But if I'm not mistaken you make the call, the sideline knows who goes in for that call and sends them in. Meaning Shula designed that play to use those players. Which makes him look even more incompetent.

Players get gassed/injured/taken out of the game. It's still up to the players to execute.

Shula doesn't make the substitutions. Now yes, in a perfect world, he'd know exactly who is on the field, and would call the perfect play, with plenty of time left on the play clock. 

Let me know when you find this world,  cause i know there wouldn't be any salery cap handicapping teams fron having all pro players at every position and depth.

Why do we run the same foolkin runs up the gut with a small rb ? I thought Shula was going to change the sceme ?

Did you not notice McCaffrey was on the field for 70% of the plays?  He wasn't lined up in the backfield all those.  

and yeah, McCaffrey is a do it all RB.  He runs good between the tackles.  When Stew is out you can't run all other RBs to the outside.  That would make your O super predictable if only 28 got inside carries.   Plus it doesn't take advantage of McCaffrey's strengths.  He can hit inside runs 28 can't based on quickness and size as well

Scheme doesn't and shouldn't change for McCaffrey.  Your scheme needs to fit your QB pending you have a good one.  It has been one week.  We haven't and shouldn't of seen all the ways McCaffrey will make us more dangerous yet as well.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
