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.

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
