Apparently Tolbert Is Giving Intel On The Panthers Offense To The Same Coaches Who Are From Said Panthers Team

I love this. Not just Tolbert but the whole Panther clan up there will force his offense to improvise and change.  Pretty sure the sum of those two ingredients are growth.  

You're talking about the same guy who knew he had to come up with something to block Von Miller and then proceeded to come up with nothing to block Von Miller, right?

That same guy?

I don't understand why this is a big deal. This happens to every team every year, do the Bills and media think teams don't gameplay for this? Do the think Shula and Rivera brush their teeth with rocks? We will change stuff, that's probably why we didn't see an evolved O this last Sunday. I don't know I'm just spit balling.

    What I don't understand is, what would Tolbert know that McDermott didn't already know? McDermott was here as long as Tolbert, so neither saw any "changes" made to the offense for 2017.

    Now Webb, on the other hand, could. Not worried either way. If you don't have a counter to someone overplaying a tendency, you didn't do your job to begin with.

I listened to some local radio takes on this last weak with Garcia and a couple other former players I don't recall who but I think it was Omar Gaither and maybe Schwartz.  They seemed to all agree that the gleaning of information from former players was pretty much a myth.while I don't readily take anything said on local radio to be absolute fact I can get behind that stance.  Teams scout you and look at hours of film.  The only secrets Mike Tolbert is spilling is the Panthers training camp chef's enchilada recipe.

Which begs the question: Why even say anything in the first place? We know he has nothing, he knows he has nothing, and the team darn well knows he ain't got nothin. What is the reasoning behind him opening his mouth?

 

Yeah, Webb, now that pesky dog has got him some info. Will it help? Nah.

    • 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
