I gotta say, this just feels SOOOOOO much more damn promising than the 2019 batch of Mike McCarthy, Matt Rhule, Josh McDaniels, & Rob Ryan

Plus by many old media reports, the carolina panthers is listed as the top job............ excuse me

Problem is that OC is probably gone in a year or two - that's why guys like Johnson, Kafka, Steichen, Dorsey are getting looks this go around even though they only have 1-2 years OC experience.

Could see Lafleur being an OC on DeMeco Ryans staff, btw.

Might be that a Wlks/Reich combo might be best for something like that.

Mike Kafka Vid below (somewhat dry alert) but I wouldn't discount this dude:

Something I'm trying to place is how these different personalities will work with our interview room. 

Hurney & Tepper sounded like they went with the feel with Rhule.  I just see Hurney as such a sucker type.  WIth Fitt it's different.  They may need to step back and ask themselves who really laid out the best vision and not just who had the best interview from a personable standpoint.  Will have their BS detectors on, and Scott seems much more in tune with the vision and philosophy chatter.    

Looking at Ben Johnson, think he will absolutely crush first impressions, he's easily got the most charisma, but that doesn't mean he's the best.  If they take some time to deliberate and see who's best, Steichen or even Kafka could come out looking really impressive.  All depends I suppose!

My instinct has those 3 as our frontrunners.  

Steichen, Johnson, Kafka

Kafka if he brings Tierney is the clear winner.

Johnson isn't going to be able to take anything from Campbell. I'd be interested if Brunell came with Johnson, but doubt he will leave Campbell.

Steichen's staff would also be unimpressive. Steichen with the Chargers was unimpressive.

A good portion of the Eagles staff would strongly consider following Shane per The Athletic.  He seems like a super impressive guy by all accounts that has a strong network.

And Ben as mentioned is plugged into a really significant branch of the Holmgren tree so it's not just the Campbell staff.  The Bengals, Cowboys, Bucs, Dolphins, and Lions all have parts of their crews with ties to his biggest growth years on an NFL staff.  He has a much wider net than the other candidates with strong roots.

If anything, Kafka has the weakest network out of all of these candidates.  Reich, likely the largest.  

I dont know which would have the weakest, but Kafka got KC ties and some of andy reids redwood tree in his phone contacts.. 

that system is used by dam near all teams (plays at least).

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits.

      Panthers win of course.  Like every Sunday I still have the hopelessly optimistic mindset  😎

      You do realize that first play was at 9:16 and they scored a TD before the 2 minute warning. 7 minutes is not a super long drive to come out with a TD. Longer developing plays is what helped get Carolina in the situation they were in. So you're suggesting they should have kept calling the same plays that weren't working? Are you suggesting Bryce keep throwing the same passes that weren't being completed? They were not in soft zone coverage. For comparison, this is Carolina's first defensive alignment in the 3rd quarter, and that's with only 1 WR on the field.  Cardinals were in a normal alignment/depth to stop run or pass. Not a soft zone to give underneath passes to TEs/RBs only. The LBs would likely be closer to 10 yards deep and the DBs more like 15-20 yards in that scenario.
