Carolina had a ‘college defense’

One thing this team does not have in common with 03 is winning by the skin of our teeth.  Many of those games, we played not to lose, and relied on Jake and the offense to setup a last second score.  Despite the offensive sputters in the 3rd quarter, the ability of this offense to keep moving the football yesterday was big.

It is certainly looking similar in that regard and it may truly be that good.  I'm not sure they are quite there yet but they certainly are looking the part so far.  It's a long season though and we need a lot of luck to stay healthy.  I just enjoy being the spoilers right now.

I just wanted to note the similarities.  Nobody punches a ticket to the 'ship in September.

We didn't run that 3-3-5 so I have not clue what he is talking about. All I know is the D brought the old crab legs back out ... LoL

This. I watched the game again last night. We were running a “big dime” the entire game. 

I actually don’t know what to call it, but basically we only had a single Linebacker on the filed the majority of the game. We went speed over power yesterday. 
 

we also moved Chinn all over the place again. Lastly, we ran a staggered cloud 9 as well. This is what the rams are running too. I wouldn’t call it a college defense but rather a modern NFL defense

Pro or College - whatever we're running works.  Brees can laugh all he wants but he wouldn't have been much better than Jameis yesterday because last year he could just pick on Whitehead all day.

I'm not sure what he has to laugh about unless he was laughing at his old team. That "college" defense kicked the Saint's ass all day long.

I was fully prepared to be pissed at that sob last night when he *started* talking, but I'm not sure he was really being a d about it.  His weird laughing aside he had some specific things that he called more common in college - so unless he just outright made it up I'm not sure he was wrong.

Then again who cares - if it works they can play a fight song with a marching band just to make it a MORE college atmosphere as far as I care.

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
