Moore likes added twists in Panthers' offense

Our running game is great but it will be so much better if we can make defenses respect our passing game. We have one elite WR in Steve Smith but we have so many guys that are capable of making atleast 1 catch a game. If Smitty catches 6 passes and Dwayne Jarrett, Brandon LaFell, Armanti Edwards, Jeff King, Dante Rosario, Gary Barnidge, D-Will and J-Stew each catch 1 pass per game we would be really tough to stop. I hope Fox has finally realized that he can't run the ball 8 out of every 10 plays and make the playoffs.

Glad to hear they are expanding the passing game by replacing TE's with WR's in certain sets... but I'd also like to see us throw more passes to the TE's.

Barnidge showed last year that he can be a weapon in the passing game and the advantage to throwing to the TE is that it's easier to disguise what you're doing (run/pass) and easier to check out to a run play if the defense dictates that.

I am glad to see a greater focus being put on the passing game. With our running game, if we can have anything resembling a legit passing game we'll be tough to stop.

This has been on the observer all day, there were other threads that included links to this (i.e debate on roster spots and how many WR's we will keep - included a link to the observer on this particular story). You are late once again on news that everyone already knew about.

i hate people like you. it's a freakin' message board. i'm pretty sure there's enough room for a few repeat posts. and perhaps some people don't feel like searching for previously posted threads... ever thought of that? and if it's been posted more than once, people will eventually stop posting on a repeated post. however, if the other thread has been pushed down from other new threads, and people see this one first... does it really matter?

dick.

You realize this is the official "news bot" (it's not a bot but you get my point) right?

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
