Eagles Media Film Room - Why Carolina's Offense Presents A Huge Challenge

I don't know what to think.  The huddle would have me believe that Shula's offense is predictable but that website is saying the opposite.

Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Shula is one of the best in the league at making a defense believe it sees a play coming, only to hit it with something completely different

So which is it?

one of the two provided in depth video analysis to back up their claim, and one provides regular meltdowns when the coaches don't do what they think they should do. It's easy...

It was a an absolutely fantastic throw. However I agree that it wasn't best example of superior arm talent. It was a great example of a perfectly placed ball with the right touch. 

I said any QB could physically make it as in any QB can throw 40 yards down field with perfect protection like that. 

the game has slowed down, is what it says to me.  The greats make it look easy, and Cam has started to do that. This is only going to get better.

His play calling his predictable to borderline offensive. 

His play design is seriously top notch and brilliant. 

I understand he has to sprinkle in his misdirection plays every once in a while or else they'll be found out, but my god is the stuff in between those glimpses of brilliance annoying. 

Then again, maybe it's the long con throughout the game. Lul them to sleep with power runs up the gut then hit them with the okie doke misdirection triple read option pass to Funchess down the seam for a TD.

Maybe they run this super cute misdirection stuff so often that he gets cute by going simple. It seems like the less cute we are with the offense, the less successful we are.

Wat.

Are you seeing the same play I'm seeing? VERY few QBs make that throw in that kind of coverage in that perfect spot. Most of the time, it's either over the receiver, OOB, or picked off. Cam threw a beauty very few QBs can replicate.

Yeah man, he was Aaron Rodgers accurate on that throw.  Dropped it right into the bucket.

Wow - awesome article and tremendous breakdown.  Dare I say a much more in-depth and thorough review of our own offense than anything I've seen from anyone in Charlotte media...

You may say that. This was a great article, with great film analysis. I had watched that CMC TD a dozen times, but was too busy looking at CMC or whether Kalil was blocking downfield illegally to notice Trai's superb pull block that really set up the whole thing. We need more reporters like this. Maybe he's looking to relocate to Charlotte like everyone else in Philly!

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
