Heinicke will "Rudy" his way to some short try hard magic plays here and there. It's going to be hard to bottle him up, but he shouldn't put up big numbers.

I liked him as a backup here but he's a always a couple sacks away from being knocked out of the game. With our D I like the RPO like others, even if you know we're gonna do it you still have to pick either Cam/CMC or the slant and it wears D's down, keeps our D fresh

Honestly I’ve always thought that with a QB like Cam every single rushing play should be a read option? Why the hell not? Cam is so good at it that he makes the correct decision 9/10 times. We can absolutely kill teams on this one play. Really not many teams feature it anymore. 

And there is no chance in hell, none, that the Washington backup DE's are going to be ready for it. There is zero chance they can stop it. None.

You know he's going to pull something out of his ass. It's just expected at this point. All we have to do is limit his success and keep the the pressure on him. He'll crack. Talking about Heiny.

Basically, Cam would be the wildcat with the read option and the ability / option to throw, give, or keep.  As much as I have always wanted him not to be hit, if he is smart about it, he can do this successfully.

Well I don't know Cam's stamina as he's older and what has he been doing during his time off? How much can he handle before he's sucking wind. Not really sure.

Judging by his Youtube videos he works out constantly. He had like 600 rushing yards and 12 rushing TD's with the Patriots last year, just didn't get much love from the record and the empty Covid stadiums bringing no energy

I'm just happy that we have an identity on offense and a plan of attack. With Sam I just thought like "well we're gonna lose" and that was about it.

With Sam, when the defense got a turnover, I'd yell at the screen that they better take it all the way because that's the only way we can get a TD.

It killed me watching Sam just hold the ball in the pocket... and hold it... and I would just scream at the tv DO SOMETHING! Sam killed my soul. I couldn't take it anymore.

Getting the film clips later in the week I was like somebody has to be open after 3 seconds, and there either was someone open or a 5-10 yard running lane every time

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
