Where the CMC choice routes that made Darnold look good?

It's because that's not what Ben does.

So he had the entire summer to study the old playbooks, see what concepts he liked or didn't, and build an offense that would work for this team with uneven QB play (I think that's fair to say regardless of our QB).  He has a head coach who like to run the ball and control the LOS, and a rookie LT who needs some help and time to get his head where his physical abilities are.

And this is what he has?  Color me disappointed.  Sure, Ben didn't have a ton of great job opportunities after the giants, but he was around guys and he should have learned, even if it's what NOT to do.

This is apparently who Ben McAdoo is.  Or worse, this is Matt Rhule micromanaging things again.  Regardless, this Panthers Offense is not going to win us any games.  We need more than 1 TD a game from them.  We need to be able to score points in this NFL.  We need to be able to convert third downs.  We need to play to our player's strengths.

I'm so happy for the win, but the same issues are still there.

I don't even think anyone can question this through three games. Brady was frustrating because he wasn't a great playcaller but McAdoo both can't design plays nor call then. He is fuging terrible.

Every year our offense gets worse with Rhule as HC. The Teddy year we weren't great but but not totally putrid. Last year we were fuggin terrible but somehow this year we're quite a bit worse.

If we keep Rhule for 2023, I assume our entire offense is just going to devolve to kneeling on each play and then punting.

I'm just baffled why we hired McAdoo. I mean, I realize why we did it. Rhule just wanted to impress Tepper with his ability to get former NFL HCs to take jobs on his staff but from a purely football perspective it makes no sense. Our personnel doesn't fit his offense at all. McAdoo relies heavily on the TE position and that might be our weakest overall position group. We have the best receiving RB in the entire league and McAdoo thinks RBs can only catch screen passes. It's just a really poor fit of scheme and talent. The same thing is true with the other former HC on the staff. Wilks is a cover 3 zone guy. He wants DBs who play off the LOS and read the QB's eyes. Meanwhile we have a bunch of press man CBs. These hires were made by Rhule to show Tepper he could get coaches with legit NFL experience to work with him, not football reasons.

i kinda agree. this macadoo-doo stuff is telegraphed nonsense. also not fair to measure bradys offensive line and what he could do with this one which is miles better.

Wait wait wait..

No adjustments ever in 20+ games.. Do you ppl not remember??

Oline not good?? Why keep calling 7 and 5 step drop plays?? Do you not remember??

How about 3 games he called the same play 7x and it didn't work the 1st 6.. Do you ppl not remember..

How about the 5 games where it looked like the defense was running our WR routes..  Honest at 1st I blamed Darnold for bad decisions and throwing kill balls.. But it happened to every QB who played.. Db's around every pass play?? Defense calling out our route scheme when we lined up.. That's not QB that's the play designer/caller.. Brady was such a genius the NFl figured him out in 7 games... Do ppl not remember this??

      Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

      By Jackson113.2 · Posted

      MORGAN ON PLAY CALLER FOR CANALES   "I think that's really his [Canales'] call," he stated. "I think if he wants to promote somebody into being the play-caller or bring somebody from the outside. We haven't really talked about that. But that is something that I'm sure we'll talk about. We talk about every decision together. If he feels like he needs to add somebody or promote somebody into being the play-caller, then I trust him."

      Dude, he cannot see the field, when his feet are not set he throws ducks.   What the fug are you watching?

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm looking at the final drive, and that's where I'm laying the blame at Bryce's feet. Stepping up to the line, 38 seconds left, 3 time outs on the clock. 30 yards needed to attempt a FG. It's not Bryce's job to call the plays, that's DC's and it was terrible play calling.  It's Bryce's job to read what the defense is giving him at the line. The middle of the field is open. Rams are guarding against the deep ball and bringing pressure leaving the middle of the field ripe for the taking. Knowing his line not holding up for long, Bryce should have read the defense, called the audible, and thrown to the middle of the field for 6- 8 yards, like you said, quick slants would have worked. Then run either hurry up or call a TO. We had time. He has to make the adjustments. Any QB has to make the adjustments.  The pass Horn dropped hit his hands but was at his knees. Should he have slid and caught it? Probably. Was the pass a good one? No it wasn't. Both players were at fault, not just Horn. Let's not pretend that Bryce threw a beautiful pass that hit the receiver chest high right in the hands in perfect stride because that damn sure wasn't the throw.  The defense didn't choke away a lead. They never had a real lead. Choking away a lead is being up by multiple scores late in the 4th and losing. We were up by 4 and handed the ball back to a potential MVP with an All pro WR and potential future HoF WR2. One score games in the 4th are a slug fest. 28-3. That's choking away a lead.  I don't solely blame Bryce for the game, but you seem to solely blame the defense for the game because they went to prevent after losing Horn. You are forgetting the short field that the offense left them that led to the early Puka TD on one of our 2 failed 4th down conversions. Our defense has been given very limited resources over the past 3 years while we have tried to put everything possible around Bryce. We added a little bit to the D this year after giving up a NFL record in points last year. Our defense overachieved based on what they've been given to work with.
