So What Exactly Are We Doing on 3rd and 1, 4th and 1, and Goal Line Situations?

Folks… that guy is already on our roster. 
Laviska Shenault

6’1 and 227 pounds and has experience running the rock. 

I'm interested in how they're going to use LS this season. I think he has a lot more potential than just a gadget guy.

I also agree acting like only big RB’s are able to get tough yards is hilarious and really not a thing at all

Exactly. I’d almost rather have a little bowling ball back there behind the line to punch it in but back-versatility keeps the defense from selling out.


Eagles’ goal line package seemed to always use Gainwell or Scott. They are both like 200lbs and didn’t seem to have much trouble. Chiefs liked to sub in McKinnon at the goal line - their smaller pass catching guy. Seems like a good staff w a decent line can figure out how to get it done.

We lost multiple games because he couldn’t rush for a yard. 

Weak OL play.  Jerome Bettis wasn't getting a first when the whole stadium knows it was going to CMC and our weak OL was facing a good defensive front. 

I think 1 yard is about OL play.

you commit to the idea of going for it on 4th down on 3rd down so you don't end up 4th and inches. but in reality, if you want to do what is popular in the league right now you just get your longest armed ball carrier to push it over the top. everybody knows it's coming but it's impossible nearly to stop. telegraphing that isn't a concern. you just follow who gets the best push between the C, LG, and RG and two hand it over the top. this is why you draft chandler zavala, not why you don't draft bryce young.

don’t worry, Bryce will push it right up the middle   

 

And people think this staff is legit. Lol. 

 

Yeh, you’re right. Tepper should bring back Rhule and his college friends.

People who actually know football are very impressed with our staff.

I went back and looked at Sanders from Penn State up until now. 

He's more physical than I previously gave him credit for. He's also more of weapon in the redzone than I imagined. 

That man has some power with him. I was sleep. 

Also, he probably signed here under the assumption that we'd use him in our scheme similar to how Philly used him his rookie year. Basically a faster but slighty less shifty version of McCaffrey with less touches. 

I do think he's better than Foreman after getting up to speed and it's not even close imo. 

Redzone weapons: TMJ, Chark, Hurst, Mingo

Short Yardage: Sanders... and if it doesnt work... throw Shenault or Mingo back there. Hell, line up Cade.

Shenault would be so much better as a change of pace back. Especially short yardage stuff.

I agree, and in theory you want as many play makers on the field as possible. I'm figuring he'll be 4th-5th on the depth chart at WR w/ maybe 10 snaps a game.  

Or make him a change of pace back also and give him more opportunity. My gut says this won't happen. BUT the saving grace to the equation is our haul new offensive coaches. And with the attention and acclaim they've been getting since being assembled I'm expecting ALOT of creativity. Atleast alot compared to the Baylor staff.

No Foreman, no power back, no Cam auto conversions anymore,  a new skinny 5 10 QB. 

Seems like a problem. Any of you have ideas? 

Go watch Cam Peoples highlights and you'll see why he was a priority UDFA. 6'1 220, runs like he's 230. Had 95 yards in one half against Miami (with Manny Diaz), over 100 against Texas A&M, and I believe over 100 against UNC.

Go watch the Texas A&M game if you want to see those 3rd and 3 to 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 conversions. 

If he can stay healthy, he should be the option.

    • I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers. 
    • Poor guy went from the Ravens to this disaster
    • You have to make the best of it and find moments of happiness.  So, I picked up the Falcons D in my money league for this week.
