Pass ratio? Sure.

Joe Brady, on yet another thread?  pass

Rhule hate?  There's no horse left and there hasn't been for while. We're well past horse bits, all that's left is splatter, but we are going to beating the shlt out of whatever's left.

Only wins will change any narrative on Matt Rhule. 

 

Matt Rhule's new OC calls a higher % of pass plays than Matt Rhule's old OC.   

it's just example 32493 of Matt Rhule's rhetoric always being nonsense.  What Matt Rhule has been and is to date remains relevant in Matt Rhule discussions. 

There is no 7 year plan, there is no vision and there is no identity.  Every year he is just throwing junk at the wall.

Every discussion is a bitch about Rhule discussion with you. 

We get it.  You're mad that Rhule acquired Sam Darnold, and he absolutely sucks and made Brady look bad so Brady got fired. 

We couldn't run last year either and that's partially Rhules fault too for relying on 4th rounder with absolute ass for hands that his wife recommended in the draft.

Please let it out.   We'll all pretend we haven't heard it 32493 times before.  Go on, you're going to anyway.

I was asking about pass ratio in preseason.

I would think McAdoo's track record as a playcaller would be more relevant than his preseason pass ratio.   Given there is no game planning and the emphasis in preseason is about working specific scenarios, situations, etc.

And his ratio as a playcaller is easy to find.  You were the one hypothesizing about what McAdoo might do this season in terms of pass ratio.  Based off history, it says we are going to pass slightly more.

vs Buffalo we logged officially 25 rush attempts and had 36 pass attempts.  So that trends an even higher pass ratio than McAdoo is known for.  

So again, seems relevant if you want to talk about our O.....what Rhule says he wants to be seems like a pretty relevant topic to reference.

I know what his ratio was.  It was heavy pass which is what I'm hoping for.  

Heavy pass ratio in preseason would just be an additional data point. 

I hope McAdoo does for Baker what he did for Eli: career years.  Baker with CMC, DJ, Robbie, Higgins, TMJ, Smith as weapons and  Ekwonu, Moton, Corbet, Bozeman and Christensen, up front, its the best our O has looked on paper in 5 years.

Less than two weeks.  I cannot wait.

It was an even heavier pass ratio vs Buff than his normal in season play calling.  That’s your extra data point.

Does anybody have the pass to run ratio in preseason?

It may be me being hopeful, but are we passing more, particulaly on first down?

Might we actually see an O like McAdoo did his first 2 years in NY?

The data say 75 rushing attempts, 104 pass attempts. 

11 of the 75 rushing attempts were by QBs. I only recall the one zone read Darnold did to score the TD so assuming we didn't have any other called QB runs, the other 10 QB rush attempts were likely pass play calls.

This is exactly the type of thing I am hoping for.  Reducing the run game and emphasizing the pass will leverage what we have in DJ and Baker, and preserve CMC. 

Eli:
2013 pre-McAdoo        3818 yards 18 TDs  27 ints 57.5 cmp%
2014 McAdoo               4410 yards 30 TDs   5 ints 63.1  cmp%
Baker:
2021 pre-McAdoo        3010 yards  17  TDs  13 ints 60.5 cmp%

I still get a hearty laugh out of your old extremely pro Sam Darnold threads poundaway.

    • It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.
    • If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.
    • In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
