Thoughts on Tabor's game management?

Did you click the link to Tabor's presser?  By your comments I will assume no. 

He said “I think coach made the right call. I’ve seen him hit from there.” I guess the question is do you think Tabor is the kind of guy to say it was the wrong call and throw his boss under the bus after the game. He didn’t really say I gave him the ok or I told him to go for it. Seemed generic and safe in his responses.

Did he? News to me the ST coordinator has to sign off on the head coaches decisions.

Yup, generally the HC asks coordinators their input on major decisions such as this.  It's even on video.  You might want check next time before coming off as an @ss.

And the rest of the exchange?  It went on for a while.  The question was asked of Tabor what was the furthest Eddy hit in warmups and Tabor said "60".  He was even specific to say the same side of the field.

It's cool, Frank is gone, but It's common knowledge that on long kicks like this on HCs will consult the STs coach.  Did Tabor say, 'NO, DON'T DO IT!'?  I didn't get that impression...at all. He's a made man in this League, if he disagreed with Frank, I think he would implied it or outright said so in this line of questioning with the press.  He doesn't strike me as the type to beat around a bush. I wasn't like his job was on the hot seat.

Nah I’m sure it was a “can he make it from here?” And a “yes he has in practice” exchange. At the end it’s Reich’s Call. Still a terrible call IMO.

I vividly remember 1 game where Ron Opted for a fg on 4th and 1 on like the 5 yard line up 3 with like 1:20 left. We go up 6. Common sense says you go for it on 4th down. You score you're up 2 scores with 1:15 left. You pick up the first down and don't score its game over. You get stuffed the opponent has to go 95 yards with I believe no time outs and most likely go for the tie. So worst realistic case scenario there is you go to overtime.

We kick the field goal, they get the ball on the 20 instead of the 5 March right down and score the game winning touchdown. It is definitely nice for a coach to have good situational awareness

 

Ron said after the game that he thought he would force the bills to make a play.   We play soft coverage and ej Manuel marches up he field on us.  What a dumbadd

I like the thoughts but I'd say Brown called that play and he's getting better and better as a play caller. Not Tabor, Brown deserves all the credit for that situation.

Yep, T. Brown is a rookie as well at playcalling, so he is going to have his growing pains. He has taken baby steps each week and the calls looked like there is actually a gameplan. Hopefully, during the rest of the season Bryce and Brown can both take those steps to putting something respectable on the field, like the last drive on Sunday.

Ya know, Brown has received a crap ton of hate but I actually think the offense hes been calling last couple weeks has been better than anything Frank was calling.

Yep.  Frank conceded his coaches didn't agree with him.  Which that admission hints at a pretty stark disagreement for him to concede that IMO. 

but yeah, no coach is then going to get on a microphone after that loss and say I disagreed with Frank on it.  That defies even the most basic common sense.  You rightfully should be fired if you do that. 

Only coaches IMO that Frank would have been discussing that with are Tabor and Brown.   Sure wasn't worded like it was one voice against Frank.  And it sure didn't look like the kicker was on board.  I don't see Tabor lobbying to kick when his kicker wasn't on board.  Tabor has already showed in his interim duties he factors in the environment in his game day decisions.  Frank's defense of the decision was pure analytics and practice.

    • Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)  
    • Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
    • For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
