Couple interesting things….

It looks like the coaches tried copying SD game plan from last Sunday and failed miserably, this is Herbert passing chart vs the vikings

Also the running on first down stat is absurd

5 more attempts over 20 yards on 15 more total attempts.

 

a lot more attempts over the middle from Bryce than Herbert as well

I was watching the game with Vikings fans and they even got annoyed with us running it up the middle every first down.

I don't know if Bozeman put on some weight or not, but there was one shot of him in the Vikings game where his dumpy gut was enormous. Can we get the Panthers dietician on that? Someone make a call.

In other news I think Moton is reaching his expiration date. Just some random thoughts unworthy of a thread.

The fact that we have to use bubble screens rather than run it down the other teams throat with the sheer size of our o-line is pretty telling. Those huge o-linemen should be able to do some serious mauling against most d-lines. If our running scheme is not a fit for those big guys, then that would mean we would have to replace the entire fatass o-line. How could we do that? We can't within reason, so you know the GM and coaches are asleep at the wheel.

Young as a noodle arm unfortunately. Notice how much we're throwing to the middle of the field and behind the los. Noddle-tastic. Now Young basically has to morph into some kind of poor mans Drew Brees to be effective, or we have to dominate in all phases of game to win. Not good so far.

Notice how Young's deep ball has no arch or touch on it like he fired it out of a t-shirt cannon? Noodle arm push pass.

The QB coach and Frank and Beans are not really teaching Young much of anything beyond the playbook because he hasn't changed his play at all whatsoever. Not good.

We going to forget all the deep shots he was hitting every practice including joint practices to Chark.  This is a personnel and coaching issue sadly

I have no faith in the coaches whatsoever. The Young deep passes in preseason looked bad, and the push passes looked worse. Is his arm injured is my question?

I watched Young throw a pass against the Saints 20 yards down field to the left outside the numbers and the ball was moving at the same speed as when we played Payton Manning in the SB. Manning was elderly in NFL years by that point, and the ball was moving almost in slow motion. Young looks the same sometimes.

You gotta chill. You no like Bryce Young. We get it. He’s going to be here a while so I suggest you cope with that

If you run up the middle on every first down and get into second and long with no deep threat, you aren't helping your rookie qb at all. Not to mention calling 8 billion screens when you're clearly in second and long a lot. 

Reich is just a bad play caller and refuses to adjust
