"Run the same damn play!"

Reggie Bonafon broke loose for a 59-yard touchdown run to help the Panthers pick up 285 total yards on the ground. McCaffrey had 84 of his 176 yards on another touchdown that looked a lot like Bonafon’s score. That’s because the team ran the same play to different sides of the line for both scores.

They ran it a lot of other times as well. Tight end Greg Olsen said he doesn’t think he’s ever heard the same play call as many times as he heard calls for what guard Greg Van Roten called a “mid zone” run that allowed for the big cutbacks that both backs used for their scores.

“It’s kind of like this: Defenses call blitzes until you pick them up and we ran the same play until they could stop it,” Van Roten said. “And they didn’t. That was a good play for us. I don’t think we thought it was going to be that successful.”

But but but Norv is a terrible play caller, Fire the staff.

 

I'm a fan of Norv, but that HB option pass inside the 5 on third and half a yard was a terrible call.  Looking at the defense before the play, I was like "ffs - QB sneak!  It's wide open!"

We left a lot of points on the field yesterday.

With the Panthers, Norv is a combined 9-2 when playing with a healthy QB and he is 0-9 when playing with an unhealthy QB. Who would've thunk it??

That game could've gone really really badly on that CMC pass attempt and run from within the 5 late in the game.  If you can run the ball with success you do it (see Indy's win over KC) until they can stop you.  If you watched the second half of the Indy/KC, that was probably the best example of a smash-mouth running game I've seen in quite a while.

Speaking for myself, I'm talking about the subtle stuff more so than the playcalling.

Example: "Hey, their top DB just left the game due to injury. His replacement is a rookie. Let's go after him."

I spent years watching us not do that and getting extremely frustrated that we weren't taking advantage of an obvious opportunity.

Since Norv took over, I don't find myself experiencing that particular frustration so much.

I would have ran a qb sneak both plays. Nothing to complain about if we don’t make it. Just line up and push for a couple of feet.

yes Norv tried the Pete Carroll special or Something,.. only way we don’t lose our minds is if it worked!

Hey, compared to the Shula years, we are freaking amazing now.  Totally agree.  It's like we look at the opposing defense, figure out what they don't do very well, and then proceed to attack it.  We even look like it was all part of the plan.  We'll run plays early in the game to set things up later.  On CMC's long TD run, you can see how the Jags backside backer froze because we had already established Curtis Samuel as a threat for the end around.  Love stuff like that.

That kind of stuff was going on back well into the fox years. It was rare that we would exploit another team's weakness.

Yep. With Shula I never really got the feeling that it evolved past "what play should I call next?"

To be fair, maybe it did, but it sure didn't feel like it.

      2026 Schedule. My goodness

      Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

      Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
