The Klein Factor


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

yeah...not worried. even with klein having some insider knowledge. he doesn't really have the supporting cast that can do much with it.

i mean maybe i should be worried after the lackluster start we've had but i'm not. they've got the worst defense in the league right now.

if we can't get the offense going this week....at home....against the worst D in the league we might have an issue. i don't think we will though.

AJ has plenty of practice reps against our offense, but Im pretty sure he spent more time studying Brees than he did Cam.

 

Im more worried about what he can tell Drew about our D.  Remember he never sat in the QB or WR meetings but he sat in every LB meeting and knows all of the "tells" we have figured out about Drew.

Only two things concern me

1. 0-2 teams about to go 0-3 are desperate teams. The Panthers must keep a foot on throat the entire time offensively and defensively..some thing they do not always do

2. Never under estimate a division rival. They know the Panthers quite well but frankly, I'm more concerned about the Panthers  offense  losing the game then The defense or anything the Saints do

Will Klein's knowledge of Shula and his system play any role on Sunday? 

Well........everyone knows Shula doesn't know how to adjust.  

And anyone who has watched panthers games longer than this season can tell you the offense hasn't really evolved.

Klein should have a good grip on Shulas playbook.    This game is going to be another tough one like the Buffalo game.

 

They have terrible LBs, so if Shula could use half his brain and really get CMC involved in the passing game we should have a big advantage.

I think it is funny that people here actually think Klein knows the Panthers offensive playbook better than the Saints coaches who have tape on the Panthers offense going back since the day Ron started coaching.  Klein doesn't know tendancies, etc. As a defensive player, he isn't studying what the Panthers do on 3rd and 2 from midfield. The Saints coaches on the other hand know all of that info.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
