Best article ever Ed Hardin on Panthers offense

I look back at that game and we shouldn't have lost, or should have we?

Most point to our offense inability to score 7, but they were able to move the ball and kick field goals, but I mostly point to our defense. If we could have forced multiple 3 and outs or held them to 3, different game. D turned it up too late. Sean Payton decision to go for it on 4th down was disrespectful to our D and offense. D did their job, but got a pick when if they knocked it down we woulda been at the 50 and honestly do doubt it my mind we would have then won it, but their D came up big so it worked for Sean.

I will say with a new OC, the NFCS won't have an easy time game-planning for the offense. At times against them it felt like the plan was defenses have to stop what the offense is doing, opposed to attack the defenses weaknesses if that makes sense. In a less complex statement, more simpler explanation, "we're going to run what we run and you have to stop it" gameplan. I really hope that changes. The performance against our division wasn't good at all for a 2nd straight year. Heads had to roll.

"we're going to run what we run and you have to stop it"

That has always been Ron's approach and I don't see him deviating from that at this stage of his career, especially since his future here depends on a string showing.

I personally like that approach if you have they players smart enough and disciplined enough to execute it.  If you don't you will struggle with consistency.

What is much harder to do is out smart your opponent with creativity and exploiting mismatches.   It's much easier to impose your will on another team as it requires less ingenuity but more discipline.
