We improved the staff, so WTF is going on?

I’m looking at our 2021 staff and comparing it to our 2022 staff, and this is one reason I was expecting an improved product on the field. Better, more experienced coaches should equal better play.

So why aren’t we seeing results so far? Are the players not as good as we thought or are the coaches being hamstrung by Rhule?

Cause we aren’t winning the turnover battle, we aren’t winning the 3rd down battle, and guys hit the fg they kicked from 50+ yards.

The team has looked completely unprepared for the first halves of both of the last two games. No one here can pinpoint exactly why because we’re not in those practices and not in that locker room day-in and out. That said, we can judge the result and it seems like sporadic talent is the only thing keeping this team competitive at this point. The game plans have been crazy limited. Not sure we even have a go to for third and long. 

Which is strange because last year, we'd start fast and then be unable to do anything in the third quarter. This year our third quarter has been better, but we look horrible to start the game.

Here is the cold hard truth right here. 

The offensive problems were not Joe Brady's fault. That's why you see the same product on the field. We have pretty much ignored offense until this last season in areas where it matters. Mainly OL and TE. I know some will say TE isn't super important but for a New or Young QB it is. The OL should have been rebuilt day one and it's still not great. It will take another few years to really have a unit you can trust. 

 

On the defensive side we have good players in almost every position. Coaching is the biggest problem there. 

What DC looking that this roster goes yeah this unit will give up 20 points. 

You have Burns, Luvu, Jackson, and Chinn that play at a high level. 

That's all players you can build around. There is zero excuses on why this unit gives up so many 3rd and 4th down conversions except poor coaching.

We're like a week away from another players only meeting, and I wish it was one where all the players went to Tepper and asked him to fire Rhule

I think the players like and appreciate playing for Rhule. Rhule didn’t fail to stop Daniel Jones from running for a 1st on 3 and 6.

The staff was not improved. The new hires were actually guys who could not find other coaching jobs and really didn't have many suitors.

Right now, the biggest nightmare would be to find out that McAdoo and Wilks were brought in to be the replacements. And they could certainly be even worse head coaches. Their own histories point to that.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
