Did anyone notice during the 2nd half against the Skins how different we were playing. We were letting Jake make plays, and not playing scared. The first half was so conservative, it was the usual playing not to lose, rather than play to win. We were down by a nice margin and had nothing left to lose coming out at halftime so we opened it up and won the game. It was like a different offense, and offense that actually looked Good. My friend was over who is a die hard Skins fan, and he said that we moved the offense better than anyone they have played all year. There defense is pretty good. Yes i know the Skins played crap teams, and crap offenses but we should be scoring more points than we have been. Its time for Davidson too let it all out of the bag, we got nothing left to lose..

OPEN IT UP...and that doesnt mean the Wildcat that we cant run..

I know that last play of the game where Jake ran for the first down... he had me fooled... I definitely liked that play.

I liked it also...didn't they run that bootleg against GB last year or what it just a broken play? I liked the play...but I hope I never see it again.

the playcalling of a Fox team is always better when down by a fairly signficant margin........which is sad. Give Fox a 1 pt league and the coaching job is horrific.

That's b/c Fox's philosophy is to get an early lead (regardless of the margin) and then pound the opposition for the rest of the game (or hope to bore them to death, depending on your perspective) with the running game and a physical defense. Of course, this belies Fox's claim that "other teams practice too" and a single digit lead with anywhere from a quarter to a whole half is an eternity for a decent NFL team to mount a comeback. Last year's games against the Giants and Saints and this year's Cowboys are proof of that. As OP said, it's when we get behind that Fox allows the playcalling to be more "creative", which almost always backfires. It's the "play not to lose" philosophy that someone else mentioned. /rant

maybe the team needs to start playing like they are down 17 points every game, every play.

I agree, but will the coaching staff buy into that and sell that to the players? All too often Fox treats a 3-7 point lead like it's a 20-30 pt lead with 2:00 in the 4th quarter. It's Fox who has to change his approach, and I won't hold my breath for that.

Yea I was expecting a draw play. LOL

You mean we actually do make halftime adjustments and all the nitwits who say we don't are wrong?

The horror!

More like teaching a retard to run. Sure they can do it, but its not great and always surprising.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
