Week 2 Coaching

[OceanPanther]

I think many of us were questioning the coaching after a week 1 win.  Red Zone in specific. 

Week 2  brings the last4 seasons NFC South division champion into town.  The coaching staff rose to the occasion.

Will we win all these matchups against perineal  winners ?   Probably not, but I think we can all agree we saw enough yesterday that with the current players we can count on the coaches to make us very competitive.  ( Stay Healthy Panthers )

Rhule    A

Brady B+ 

Snow A +  Basically  pitched a shutout 

Blackburn B-

 

 

[Harbingers]

No more trying to use CMC as a power back on the goal line. Please and thank you. 
 

Id knock Brady down to a B- and Rhule down to an A- and Blackburn down to a D.

Brady and Rhule for leaving 10–17 points on the table again and again not properly adjusting in a second half. Points like those are gonna matter down the road. Blackburn is obvious why.

I agree about CMC not being a power back on the goal line, but I just don't think we have the blocking personnel to win those matchups.  I'm not sure it would matter who was taking the handoff.  It was good to see Brady call a quick pass play after that didn't work a few times, and Sam hit DJ on a quick slant for a TD.

In what world does Blackburn deserve anything close to a B-? Our special teams has been atrocious.

Depends on how we use them.

We've got a very West Coast line but yesterday we tried to use them as if we were a power running team.

Didn't go so well.

I tend to agree with your grade. The offense cannot continue to leave that many points on the field and expect to win games.  When they get that sorted out I would put these kids up against anyone.

I think the B- for Blackburn  is very generous.  Special teams were awful yesterday...10 men on the field, gave up big returns, blocking on FG...well...they did not.  Can't find a kicker (situation is embarrassing).  I give him a D at best.

 

Also...Rhule...going to blame him for the poor 3rd qtr performances .  The team has been terrible in the 3rd qtr in every game Rhule has coached.  Looks like the opposition makes adjustments..our coaching staff does not anticipate them or have an answer for them. This will cost us games (and has). B here for me...Brady B-.

Blackburn better get his unit together. Easily a failing grade yesterday. 
Snow and his assistants look legit. 
Brady still some head scratching moments

Totally agree. I just figure if we are gonna do it, call some plays that let CMC take control away from a collapsing line and showcase his ability. Such as that inside(I think it was inside the 10) the 10 run where he scored.

Yeah give the rock to Royce Freeman on the goal line.

Exactly. Our line isn't really built for goal line sets. It's pretty stupid to even attempt them honestly. I mean I guess you can attempt to say that we need to keep the defense honest or whatever, but I'd rather just run plays that have a legit chance to succeed within our personnel.

We went stale in the 2nd half again on offense, that’s going to end up catching up with us. Early in the 4th we should have been working on trying to get the run game going and killing clock instead of dumping and dinking 3-5yd passes

Yeah he was bad yesterday.  He was missing blocks everywhere.  That goal line play was just flat out ugly. There's still a lot of work to do.

I am worried about the new kicker, he can’t kick it through the end zone for a touchback.
