It is 4th and 2 ...

It is 4th and a long two.

Time for your best power running play that is sure to pick up a couple of yards. Most teams will be in i-formation with a fullback and a big running back to pound it out. This could also provide a nice play action possibility or even a QB bootleg. But not us. 

THIS is what Shula comes up with.

A slow developing run play that puts Cam Newton in the shotgun, sitting and waiting for Andrew Norwell to pull while the Bears linebackers inch ever so much closer to the line of scrimmage as they giggle at the play call. Taking candy from a baby. 

Rip this play out of the book, wipe your ass with it, and discard in appropriate trash receptacle.

I knew exactly where that play was going before the play started, it was so embarassing.  First, you got Stew and CMC averaging like about 7 inches per carry so you knew it wasn't going to either of them, and stack the line...how on earth did anyone think this play would work.  FWIW, the decision to go for it was the right decision, the play call was the stuff that nightmares are made of.

 

IF you can Jeremy, please find the play at about 7:30 to go in the game where they Effing run Stew on a go route.  That was the absolute worst play design of the game by far.  I think my brain stroked out when I saw Stewart so far down the field.  Who on gods green earth did Shula think would even consider worrying about him as a receiver on a go route.

WE'RE GONNA GET EM THIS TIME!  RUN A AGING POWERBACK ON A FLY ROUTE!  THEY'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING! HAHAHA.  holy poo, that play made my brain hurt.

They motioned him out of the backfield, hoping it would free up the middle of the field for Dickson. Problem is, they got the personnel all wrong because Chicago could not have paid less attention to Stewart. 

 

Now, Put Shepard in the slot and motion CMC out wide to run a fly and it may actually have worked.

then who would have taken CMC's part of the play?

jogging a half assed route into the middle and turning around knowing a pass would never come?

Definitely Shepard, He never gets the ball even when he's WIDE open, let alone when he's covered, perfect use of him there.

Sad part is only Shula and Shula alone would think that the defense would even remotely care about Stew lining up out wide.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
