I haven’t watched it all yet but one thing I noticed that I hate about this offense(they’ve done this for years before McAdoo) is they’re still running the play clock all the way down to 1 second before snapping the ball. It really allows defenders to time the snap and I hope they can mix in some no huddle once the offense is 100% installed to keep the pass rush from getting that easy jump on the snap.

It’s all vanilla.  I don’t think you can judge anything.  NFL is all about team specific adjustments and game planning for each opponent. 

it’s not like people had their pitchforks out when TMJ was tearing up preseason ball with  the prior guy. 

Definitely very vanilla but successful when the starters were in.... Riverboat Ron aggressively blitzing In the pre season... oh the memories too bad for the skinmanders in the regular season he only knows how to play cover 3.... or when he had Eric Washington as DC calling a 2 man rush on 3rd and 2... lol

Thought McAdoo was real solid and I’m also really impressed with Joe Dailey’s group… all his guys looked solid… Higgins, Smith, Zylstra, then throw in Kirkwood and Wright.

One bright spot for me was the fact that receivers did a solid job on balls that they had a legitimate chance on. I hated to see Kirkwood get a tough hit.

Definitely feel for Kirkwood, second consecutive offseason where he’s had his bell rung. I’m hopeful that we can store him and Wright on the PS.

Moore, Anderson, Higgins, Marshall, Smith, Zylstra, and Saunders make for a really deep group. If we don’t keep those seven then I hope they at least IR Saunders so they can hold on to him.

Vanilla or not there were some takeaways for me. Thought we mixed up plays pretty well.  We didn't look totally predictable.  I thought getting in and out of the huddle was generally good.  The scheme allows QBs to audible and move folks around. We had some good misdirection plays that had guys wide open.  Everyone QB moved the ball which suggests good scheme success versus individual QB talent.

A lot of that is the QB’s actually adjusting to the defense.

Mayfield has this to say following the game about the McAdoo and the offense:

“Night and day different, that's for sure. A lot more comfortable now. [Offensive coordinator] Coach [Ben] McAdoo is going to give us the keys to change things on the field, and his saying is, if he can't trust us, he can't trust himself.”

“Not really like anything I've been in before. It's a great offense, it allows us to make checks at the line and just have answers for whatever the defense is throwing at us. It's a lot to learn at first, but once you get it down and you start to master it, you can get the offense in a great position to have success. That's the benefit of having a complicated offense like this.”

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      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.
