Throwing past the sticks

I understand the idea of a short passing attack.  Its been very successful for Tom Brady, but is it it me or have we gone overboard with it?

I decided to look at our passing attempts on 3rd and 4th.  Cam went 3/7 with the 8th attempt being a sack.  Of the three completions only 1 was actually a first down.  The other two were short of the sticks.  This isn't a knock on Cam, we saw the same thing with Teddy and Sam.

Actually Cams deeper numbers were good today, he was 6/7 past 10 yards according to a quick recap by PFF.

Its like we are trying so hard to protect the QB we are actually making their job harder.

I understand protecting the QB or not having faith in the O-line but at a certain point you have to keep the defense honest.

Would love to see this team with some competency within playcalling. Way too much talent on this roster to not be a force each and every game. Line sucks, scheme around it. Not having an identity is an indictment of this coaching staff as a whole. Need someone in the building to figure it out or bring in some new blood to get it done.

Cam played very good for coming off the street. But we have to all remember he hasn't mastered the playbook yet. What we saw today was a VERY vanilla offense for Cam to run. Had WFT figured out how to throttle CMC (that may be impossible actually), they would have won by more. Give Cam a game or two more and you'll see different plays ... but of course it's too late for the Playoffs most likely and we'll be drafting in the mids again. The question is, is Cam the future here or not?

    • The team wore down and shots stopped falling.  Ball, Miller and Kon have to play well.  At least 2 of the 3.  2/16…0/6. That ain’t gonna cut it.     If Bridges and White are the only ones hitting from 3, it’s not gonna go well.  The 3’s make Moose and Kalk work.  No 3’s it gets too crowded for them with all the bodies crashing the boards.    (Kalk needs to add strength, something awful tho.)
    • Was at the game and NYCFC honestly outplayed CLT the whole way.  Khalina and Zaha carried the team.  Zaha's wife on IG making it sound like he's gone come July. They're going to have to pay him or find a big time replacement because the team looks like pretty lost without him.
    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
