We have our coaches. What schemes will we run?

[panthers55]

I would like us to run an aggressive scheme with lots of blitzing and misdirection. It could be a Jim Johnson style 4-3  or a Dick Lebeau 3-4 as long as we don't sit back passively and let teams march down the field as we bend until we break.

I think there is 1 thing that is for sure…we’re going to be extremely smart, extremely well coached, and extremely aggressive on both sides of the ball. I have not been so excited for a season maybe ever, and we don’t even have a QB and haven’t had the draft and free agency yet. This is an absolutely legendary coaching staff being built

Hard to say for offense but I would bet defense is going to be 3-4 with a 2 high shell like Denver last year. So be prepared for a FS addition that can actually cover and Chinn going to some type of slot role.

We just got an OLB coach so yeah 3-4 is gonna be a thing. And yeah Chinn was obviously wasted talent the last 2 years

Who cares? These cats can run anything they want to run. Hell they can make up something you've never seen before.  Don't sweat the small stuff.

Exactly dude act like we coaching lol. I don't follow these coaches to know what schemes they run. Let them figure that out.

I just thought it'd be a fun discussion? I'm sorry for trying to provide something to talk about on a message board.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Admittedly I’m not versed in complex offensive schemes so I have to keep it at a high level.  
 

I don’t know exactly what plays we will see but if it’s 4th and 1 from midfield with playoffs on the line I doubt we will be punting.

This star studded staff wont be in place long enough...need a bridge ,as you call it, if we want to win now with this staff

I think it’s the perfect staff to develop a young signal caller. I’m not ruling out a bridge QB, but it looks like they are getting ready to draft one to me. Who knows maybe it’s both?

Post away man. No disrespect intended.  Just saying that it will not matter much with this staff. They will be well versed in many different schemes that there will not be a set approach. The schemes will be an opponent specific approach for that game. Just enjoy the forest being assembled and try not to focus so much on a couple of trees.

Well, if you want to develop minority coaches on the offensive side of the ball to become head coaches you've got to start somewhere.  The Panthers are doing just that. If someone is complaining about that then they are complaining just to complain.

Also Reich’s age concerns me much less knowing he can attract these type of young coordinators. When he decides to retire I feel like we will have a solid guy in the wings waiting.

We also have a safety net if he were to get fired or resign. There is lots of potential head coaches already on staff to promote.

DEFENSE

A variation of a two-high shell is very likely, whether be more of a hybrid 4-3 or a base 3-4.  

OFFENSE

Looking at the philosophies and where Brown, Staley and Reich bring...physical & agile RBs, more than 1 home run hitting WR, and a good TE.  With Staley, Brown & Reich, there will be elements of what Jamaal Williams & the late season surge of Akers did on the ground.  Physical but not a slow burn.  Some spread and RPO concepts but not too much. Just thinking about this makes me giddy at the prospect of a Stroud in this offense.
