Okay so, back in training camp it was such a major news story that when they were going to have a sit down with the offensive line guys, Bryce stepped forward and said he'd like to lead the discussion and tell them how they needed to work in this scheme. It was an amazing show of his grasp of the system and the people involved in it, a real leadership moment foretelling how great he was.

They said.

Maybe the scheme is so basic that a rookie without even a pre-game snap was able to explain it. Imagine what a defensive coordinator with years and years of practice and observation could get from looking at it. And then turn a bunch of sack monsters loose with the knowledge that the scheme is that easy to pick apart.

The word we are looking for here is: roadkill. Wide-eyed roadkill.

We were confident that a rookie QB could explain the line's assignments and the theories that went into making up the scheme.  A rookie.

And we're wondering why it won't work.

Yes. A top 6 pick in his second year, a 3rd year guy, a 6th year guy, another 6th year guy, and a 7th year guy couldn't understand it but a guy who hasn't took a snap in the NFL could explain it perfectly. Because it's that simple. 

We run a high school offense. I'm not just being an average negative poster. I watch film and have a decent football IQ. We have a VERY simple offense. We have literally only come out in 3 different personnel sets (92% in the same grouping) and (if i remember correctly) 5 or 6 formations.

when a NFL defense knows what you are doing.....you aren't going to be successful.   That's our story IMO. 

you need dominant talent for the you know what I am doing but try and stop me approach. 

Which it is EXTREMELY difficult to just line up and be better than the other team in the NFL.

That is the core of college football but it doesn't work at the NFL level.

Yep. The Panthers' Oline was built for road grading 1 on 1, not a zone scheme or whatever they're trying to do now.

Don't fix it if it isn't broken. They are trying to be fancy instead of helmet on helmet. The end result is Oline dancing in circles and blocking no one.

In the last game Seattle's D-line rushed the inside/middle of our O-line at least 3/4's of the time. Definitely the entire 4th quarter. And, of course, it worked because of two new, young starters. It gave Andy no pocket, no time and yet he managed to make a record 58 passing attempts. I hope Bryce was taking notes because I expect every defense we face to do the same thing.

You can blame scheme, coaching but a lot rides on you having healthy starters and we haven’t had that so far. Missing Corbett and Brady means the others have to get used to playing with guys they don’t normally play with. That and the obvious drop off in talent is huge.

Team health is no excuse here and it hasn't been for years.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
