Experimenting with blocking schemes explains a lot.

It's the best explanation for the regression, especially considering the coaching staff....and especially x2 considering we still have Campen.

How Michael Jordon still has a job here, though, is something completely different. Just hoping he's in the next wave of cuts after we see another OG get cut from another team.

It jives with that last episode of camp confidential and Reichs comments to the team before the practice with the Jets.

I think we have gone way overboard the past 5 years about preseason due to McVay. Just because one good coach takes the approach of not playing any starters, doesn't mean all good coaches have to. Our approach seemed to be pretty obvious, use them as extra practices and try stuff out. Who cares if you win, get the first down, make the TFL.. it's all about seeing what works and doesn't. It'll pay off for us down the road this year. So excited for this year.

Yeah I’ve laughed about this preseason stuff. When I coached high school basketball, we tried to play people better than us in the summer, tried different player combinations, put backups in against starters, played guys out of position…. Anything we could to prep for the season. One year we went like 2-9 in the summer, including a couple games blowing big leads (because little Johnny Turnover got his chance in the second half)… we ended up winning the conference that year.

So as long as you have your guys, great time to look at individual matchups, decide who can play, what schemes fit, get some stuff on film and go for real when it counts.

Id rather they didnt given the 5'11 185 LB 1st overall pick had to take the results....

Why? He's gonna get hit eventually. Things are going to go south sometimes and he needs to be able to cope when it does. Preseason seems like a better time to put your starting QB in bad situations than waiting for it to actually happen. Just like children, players shouldn't be coddled. Let them experience what the real world is like a little bit before the poo is real.

I know you are worried about injuries, but you really shouldn't. That poo is gonna happen, so why worry about it? Some time BY is going to get hurt and is going to miss games, just like every other starting QB. 22 of 32 starting QB's missed at least 1 game in the regular season last year.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo.

      Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.
