1st string offense vs Bills.

Went back and watched the 1st string offense again.  Looks like Thomas is already penciled in as the #2 tight end. He was in on 6 of 14 plays with Cam. 

In those 14 plays here are the players and packages we used.

McCaffrey,Olsen and Funchess were in on all 14 snaps. After them:

  1. Smith 10 snaps
  2. Thomas 6 snaps
  3. Moore 5 snaps
  4. Wright 4 snaps
  5. Armah 2 snaps
  6. Claussell 2 snaps

1st Series

  • 1st play, 12 Personnel (McCaffrey, Olsen, Thomas, Funchess, Smith)
  • 2nd play 11 Personnel (McCaffrey, Olsen, Funchess,Smith, Moore)
  • 3rd play  12 Personnel (McCaffrey, Olsen,Thomas, Funchess, Moore)
  • 4th play we ran a jumbo package with both tight ends, and added Blaine Claussell as a blocker with Smith and Funchess remaining the starters at WR
  • 5th play 11 Personnel (McCaffrey, Olsen, Funchess,Moore,Wright)
  •  

2nd Series

  • 1st play Claussell and Armah out there in a jumbo package, Funchess, Smith starters at WR. - Nice lil play design as Armah slipped out for an open pass on the playaction
  • 2nd play 12 Personnel (McCaffrey,Olsen, Thomas, Funchess,Smith)
  • 3rd play 12 Personnel (McCaffrey,Olsen, Thomas, Funchess,Smith)
  • 4th play 12 Personnel (McCaffrey,Olsen, Thomas, Funchess,Smith)
  • 5th play 21 Personnel (McCaffrey,Armah, Olsen, Funchess,Smith)
  • 6th play 11 Personnel (McCaffrey, Olsen, Funchess,Smith, Moore)
  • 7th play 11 Personnel (McCaffrey, Olsen, Funchess,Smith, Wright)
  • 8th play 11 Personnel(McCaffrey, Olsen, Funchess,Moore, Wright)
  • 9th play 11 Personnel(McCaffrey, Olsen, Funchess,Smith, Wright)

6 of the plays were out of the 11 personnel, our primary package for at least the past few years

6 of the plays were of out the 12 personnel (2 tight end sets)

Few quick thoughts based on the info above:

  • Was nice to see us trusting Thomas out there with that many 2 TE sets out the gate. He didn't look lost and thats good for a 4th round pick in his first game
  • Funchess seems to be holding onto the number 1 Receiver spot since he was in on all 14 snaps
  • Also glad to see Smith,Moore and Wright get time in at the 3 receiver sets. Hoping to see Samuel get in that mix next week as well.
  • Appears Armah has a chance to play a bigger role in the offense this year. He did well catching a pass and hitting his blocking assignment on McCaffreys 7 yard run. Only 2 snaps but he managed to look good on both of them.

That pass to Armah was awesome to see. Excited to see how he will be used. Won’t be surprised if Norv’s offense makes Armah a pro bowler, especially with how easy Tolbert got in the last few years. 

I’m extremely excited about Armah and how he’ll be used in our offense. Pro bowl will be tough, Tolbert mainly got in because of his name and until Armah establishes that I don’t see pro bowl unless he has a lot of TDs.

Thanks for putting this together. Every Panthers fan should be excited about our offensive weapons and Norv. Cam will be a top 3 MVP candidate, no doubt in my mind.

If we win the division and cmc goes for 1800 scrimmage yards will he also be in mvp conversation ?

Great post!

Another thing I'm interested in is time remaining on the playclock when the ball was snapped for each first team snap. 

I noticed Cam wasn't clasping furiously for the snap each play. Granted the first preseason game is heavily scripted and such, it was still nice to see.

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
