1st string offense vs Bills.

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I enjoy being truthful. Although that means being unbiased. Which most on here are incapable of being unbiased. 
    • It looks like the Bucks and Giannis are headed for a divorce. He says he's ready to play and the Bucks say that he has told them he isn't. It really doesn't matter except that it likely means the end for Giannis in Milwaukee. He's 31 years old, but still an elite producer.  So, as GM, would you go after him this offseason? Remember, the Hornets have two 1st round picks this year and potentially THREE first round picks next year. What would a trade look like?
    • I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.  For clarity, "developmental" refers to players who are still a year or two away from starting.  We are all developmental, but there are prospects who need a season to transition to the pro game. I see 1--maybe 2 OTs who could step into a starting role right now. In college, for example, taking snaps under center requires a different approach than blocking for the shotgun.  There is less to learn if you play a position that does not require much adjustment to transition to the NFL.
