What would be your first Offensive play on Sunday

One of the most important things to do early in the game is to identify how the defense is going to line up against formations and how they adjust to motions.  We used to run the first 10 plays of the game in different formations and motions and copy down how they align and adjust to find their weak points.  

 

I think we line up Shotgun, CMC on the right, Tight end trips left  with Curtis Samuel as #3 (will give Norv and idea quickly how they align to trips and trips motion adjustments).  DJ Moore as the X receiver to the right.  So pre motion, looks like it going to be and edge run to the left with CMC (He stays to help block) running to our strong (left) side.  Then we jet motion Curtis to the right (to give the appearance of a jet sweep, which would make sense because it would be running away strength and from Donald).  

Newton quickly fakes the jet, then gives a glance to Curtis in the flat as a screen, but Nope, with LA thinking that Cam might not be able to throw the deep ball, we hit DJ Moore on a deep post.  Depending on their checks, This would probably give us a favorable match up.  I would imagine they would check C3 to get 8 in the box with the TE. (Depends on scouting), but I think the fake jet sweep will slow their Dline rush down just enough to give DJ time to get deep, and I feel like the safety would have eyes on Samual being in motion.  DJ is the first look, then check down to either Greg in the middle of the field (if the deep safety doesnt bite and goes with DJ), or if it is C3 and the CB with DJ bails fast then check down to Samual in the flats.

Off tackle hand off to CMC. Keep it simple and let the starters settle in. Don’t even care if we go run, run, run, punt. The starters have barely played together and it’s a long game and a long season. I can take a 3 and out on the first series if it helps knock some rust off and let’s the offense feel comfortable.

    • Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.  
    • This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
    • Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
