A sneak peak at the Panthers offense under Frank Reich?

So what are we looking at exactly? @TheHonestNFL is a (former?) NFL employee that at one point in time was employed by the Philadelphia Eagles (and according to Zach Hicks' article "Film Room: What Are Triangle Reads in Frank Reich's Offense?" is very knowledgeable on Frank Reich). They post links to playbook concepts with breakdowns such as read order and explanations of route combinations.

What's that look like? Here's just one example that you can see by clicking on the Google Drive link:

There's also a folder with slides for formations & motions:

They don't just cover offense either! Here's a great thread on the Eagles' defensive concepts (where Vic Fangio would be coming from):

It's worth noting that this folder is labeled to reflect that it is Doug Pederson's offense, but Frank Reich was Pederson's OC when the Eagles won the Super Bowl and likely took a lot of these plays and concepts with him to Indy.

I haven't gotten a chance to go through all of the material yet (have a family function coming up here in 1hr), but if one of the more informed posters here wants to break it down further that'd be fun to catch up on.

Good stuff.

I almost guarantee we will here some version of this during his first presser.

 

"We will be a multiple attack, up-tempo offense. We will be aggressive. What I mean by multiple is that we will use multiple personnel groups in multiple formations to be able to run the same plays over and over again, to disguise it so that team won’t know what we’re doing. We will keep them off-balance with run and pass. We will change up the tempo. There will be a strong element of no huddle offense to the [the team's] offense. The analogy that I like to use is the analogy of a boxer. When you step into a boxing ring you want to impose your will on your opponent and as an offensive team and as a team in general we want to impose our will on the opponent. So as an offense, to impose your will means you run it when you want to run it and when you have to run it and you throw it when you want to throw it. We speed it up when we feel we’ve got somebody on the ropes and we can put them down for the count and you slow it down sometimes when necessary. That’s the analogy, that’s what it will be, and we will build the players around that kind of scheme."

Why would we focus on what Pederson ran years ago in Philly instead of the last 4 years with Indy when he was head coach? Is he running the same scheme now or not? I didn't follow Indy so I don't have a clue but I know what the Eagles run now.

And how well did he accomplish these goals. I didn't pay attention to Indy the last few years.

Because Philly credited him for the schematic and game planning of that offense.  
you can actually go the 1st 2 seasons in Indy as well.

So what happened if he isn't running the same scheme the past year and a half..

It’s called adjustments.  
much likes Wilks had to do.  When you have QB issues, beat up injured OL, No WR threat,  but a good RB (last year), the last year and a half.

You adjust to your strengths.

Lol....yea our X receiver is going to eat. 

DJ should be smiling hard af right now. 

Unless we go WR @ 9 for some odd reason. Which would probably be his luck.

All of that is addressed in the OP.
