thats a unique preseason look, you are not going to see that a lot in preseason football.

When referring to the Jets defensive scheme

a thousand times this. and we'll likely do something similar for a bounce back this week. it's all meaningless, but there's nuance beyond the struggle

Crazy how 3 years of a consistent system helps which the Jets now have.

Matt Rhule and consistency were never a thing.

Yeah, the Jets Dline is a problem! They're gonna be hard to move the ball against getting consistent pressure without giving up a man in coverage. Remember when the Panthers had that? That unit kept the team in games when the offense had a hard time getting things going.

the problem is that this isn't something you should have to deal with in your first preseason game. 

every team has an agenda for each preseason game that may or may not include scheming. i really think the only reason the jets went hard was for team morale. we were just trying to get our guys out there and used to seeing a little action. 

i'm not going to give the jets props for anything that they did on saturday because they were going after a team that wasn't in it to win it. panthers were in it for the reps. 

Yep. Coaches should agree on how they're playing the game prior to the start. I know they do that to some degree during practice. 

Then again. Fans are paying to attend these GAMES. Perhaps preseason SHOULD be treated like games from a preparation stand point. A game with 2nd and 3rd stringers. Hard to prepare that way, but vanilla schemes and play calls are not what fans pay to see. Just a thought.

Fans are paying for them, but they aren't for the fans. These aren't GAMES. They are preseason games. There's a big difference. What the fans want should not factor into what the teams decide to do. Fans being in attendance should be irrelevant to the goals of preseason games. Fans going should know that what they are getting isn't a real game, more just a glorified practice. If they expect more, that shouldn't be a concern of the team.

Ehhh... agree, not a team concern, but an NFL concern. If you're going to charge admission, albeit cheaper, then you should deliver what you advertise. Don't call it games and make it a big deal. Just call it a practice scrimmage and charge for concessions. I don't know. Just a thought.

And I'll say again, I don't want preseason games to be treated like real games.

If it doesn't count, don't act like it does. Risk of injury is too great for a meaningless game.

Treating it like a real game is honestly just stupid.

If you're not giving 100% on a football field, then you're already increasing your chances of injury. 100% effort should be a given. The only thing to debate is preparation and playcalling.

Despite the O line getting constantly stunted and beat, Bryce had great footwork and threw with anticipation. When is the last time we had a QB that had both of those? I don't ever remember. If we can get the O line problems ironed out (I am sure we will), our offense can getting rolling!

I dont see where he said players shouldn't give 100% effort

The reasoning for vanilla playcalling is to see what you have in your players.  Scheming will lead to wondering if it's the players skill or the scheme

Yep. I can see that. I think I just interpreted it as such. 

Agree with keeping plays simple for the reason you suggested. It's just that you're not giving fans the real show. Just call it a practice scrimmage and charge for concessions. Don't charge fans to see a watered-down version of an NFL football game. Really was just playing devil's advocate cause I could see it both ways. Just a thought.

Compare the bryce video to this one on Fields and you can really see the difference in the 2 QBs. Fields threw 3 screens and none of them were accurate. Moore bailed him out on his as the throw was behind him and almost in the dirt. Fields threw 2 TDs but Bryce had the better QB play.

Steve Smith not a fan of the vanilla offense. Good point, how would adding a couple motions and basic play actions give away any of the playbook? Seems like it would be more beneficial to see how Bryce would handle those things live than be a detriment against future regular season game plans

      Post Draft Luke and JJ Podcast

      By GamecockSmitty4 · Posted

      Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
