Do the Panthers have a shotgun problem and by extension a tell?

Through four games we've run 227 of 257 from the gun.  26 of the 30 plays we've ran from under center were rush attempts.

That's right we've only passed from under center four times, Bryce only once.  Below is the chart of plays ran from under center.  We are broadcasting to the defense that if we line up under center we are running the ball.  

Atlanta 68 of 70 plays from Shotgun
3Q 9:34-M.Sanders for 9 yards
3Q 4:52-C.Hubbard for 21 yards

New Orleans 45 of 52 plays from Shotgun
1Q 11:52-M.Sanders for 13 yards
1Q 10:36-M.Sanders for 1 yard
2Q 9:17-M.Sanders for -4 yards
2Q 6:18-B.Young 15 yard completion
2Q 5:02-M.Sanders for 6 yards
4Q 12:08-M.Sanders for 4 yards
4Q 11:26-M.Sanders for 5 yards

Seattle 62 of 72 plays from Shotgun
1Q 13:25-M.Sanders for 4 yards
1Q 10:21-M.Sanders for no gain
1Q 9:25-Dalton sacked for -11 yards
1Q 2:49-M.Sanders for no gain
2Q 12:07-M.Sanders for 1 yard
2Q 11:31-M.Sanders for 3 yards
2Q 8:34-Dalton incomplete
3Q 14:54-M.Sanders for 1 yard
3Q 14:13-Dalton incomplete
3Q 9:03-M.Sanders for 1 yard

Minnesota 52 of 63 plays from Shotgun
1Q 7:02-C.Hubbard for 7 yards
1Q 6:26-M.Sanders for 1 yard
1Q 5:14-C.Hubbard for 6 yards
1Q 3:48-A.Thielen rush for 6 yards
1Q 3:03-C.Hubbard for 5 yards
2Q 8:17-M.Sanders for 3 yards
3Q 15:00-M.Sanders for 1 yard
3Q 3:58-C.Hubbard for -1 yard
4Q 10:19-M.Sanders for 2 yards

This was already known if you watched Bryce Young at Alabama. I have to find the stat again, but I believe he only took 4 snaps under center his whole career at Alabama. It seriously limits what you can do and how you disguise your offense, but it can be done if we had a better HC and scheme.

Not only that, I'm also sad we will never be able to run QB sneak on important downs with Bryce. That also takes an almost automatic part of your offense out due to his size.

I knew it was bad but the numbers are truly disgusting. That falls squarely on Frank. We have to do better than letting everyone know if we’re under center with Bryce it’s a run. Just awful coaching and game planning there. 
 

please god let Thomas Brown step up

Yeah no doubt Bryce and shotgun go together like peas and carrots.  I just don't think we can stay on the 26/30 pace running the ball.  That is ungodly predictable.

So you want to explain why this was also the case in Seattle?

Guess people just have short term memory.

Back in the spring when Reich first got here.  And then we brought in Sanders.

It was noted by Reich then that  the offense was going to be similar to Philly’s and Even Sanders mentioned it.

After those comments it was also noted that the Eagles run primarily out of the shotgun.  There were even charts floating around to how much teams around the league have moved to the shotgun.  And the Eagles were at the top rarely running from under center.

 

The issue isn’t the shotgun.

The issue is the LG making Michael Jordan looking like Zac Martin

The issue is, the RG was bagging groceries a week ago

The issue is, Ickey having a sophomore slump.  And continuing the trend of Post Gross OTs playing at the level of Byron Bell, Remmers, Cam Erving, etc (a lot may be due to the new zone system vs Wilks power run heavy system)

 

The issue is, our “blocking” TE is getting rag dolled.

Reich is poo but it should be fairly obvious at this point some of the offensive scheme is built around Bryce Young's deficiencies that were known before the draft. There's only so much any coach is going to be able to do to compensate for Bryce Young's phsyical limitations. This was the risk with the pick.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
