Norv Turner can turn Christian McCaffrey into Panthers’ ‘premiere back’

Fozzy will absolutely not be a featured runner and CMC won’t get close to 400 touches.

Fozzy will not be a feature runner. He will be the back up to spell CMC. Norv will give the carries to CMC as the feature and use CMC on the outside to open up the middle for Cam and CMC.

If Turner loaded up Terry Allen and Frank Gore with carries, he will do the same with CMC. Turner does not take the job if he feels like he does not have the personnel to feature, and it is clear Turner has high regard for scheming around CMC as the feature to open up Cam.

Turner will scheme the offense to run through Cam, Olsen, and CMC. All other skill position players will be role players to get them open.

From a fantasy football perspective, it was difficult to decide if any Panthers player had consistent value with Shula running the offense. With a Turner schemed offense, you know the primary QB, RB, receiver and TE are going to put up points and get their touches.

    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
    • The funny part is she looks older and not in a good way...
    • How about some line help, both sides, first. Trade XL before talking about a 1st round WR 3 years in a row. Or a TE or...drum roll...a QB to pair with a vet.  And if it's not a speedy route guy with hands then just hard pass.
