I honestly think that CMC leaving improved our offense.  He was just to much of a crutch for our coaches and qb's to lean on, and I fear that even with Rhule leaving, we would have tried to feed him too much. 

I am wondering if SF is falling into that trip.  In the last game, CMC had 23 carries and 8 targets.  I guess it was in part due to injury, but even so, that is a lot.

With how the OL is playing, I'm not sure that would have been a problem.  Until this game, we hadn't shown we could connect often enough over the top to sustain drives...

The biggest change was Bozeman. 

Then getting Sam back.

 

He's not too big a crutch in SF with Debo out. 

We no longer have a home run hitter. He absolutely scores on those runs today and we will miss him in the playoffs.

Maybe, but using multiple backs and receivers makes a team so much harder to defend.

I don't know if using multiple backs really does in this circumstance - true Blackshear is very different from Hubbard/Foreman, but the other two mostly just seem to spell each other occasionally.

I think we would have seen an adoption of a similar scheme regardless of if CMC was here or not.

I do think he requested a trade though. I got the feeling he was actually one of the guy's in Rhule's corner.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
