Game plan criticism from an odd source

You don't usually hear this sort of thing from Brad Hoover.

Veteran fullback Brad Hoover said he thinks the Carolina Panthers could have run the ball on Arizona Saturday night.

"Our plan was to try to run the ball on them. That’s what we’ve hung our hat on all year, being successful in the running game, and I still think we could have done it," Hoover said. "Not to question things but, when you start putting yourself in a hole, and we did pretty fast, it’s hard to just run the ball when you’ve put yourself in pass situations."

I agree. The decision to abandon the run game so early was a bad one. It's not like our run game is a 4-6 yard run team, we have a lot of big runs and even had one against Arizona early on, we could have put up points quickly. I also noticed DWill sitting for a ton of plays in the 2nd.

Key stat

Delhomme accounted for six turnovers (five interceptions, one fumble) and the Cardinals scored 23 of their 33 points off of those takeaways.

Our gameplan shoulda been to keep the ball out of Warner's hands, not continually give him the ball. We were lucky he got tired or they might have put up 66 points on us.

As sad as it sounds, it looked like a game of Madden gone wrong. Played someone online? Threw an INT or turned it over early? They score. Feels like they went extra hard at you, challeneged your manhood. You say, "Alright, Imma show this mf'er..." You throw non-stop. INTs galore. They run up the score and you are blown out. Only to realize, "Man, I should've just run when I first got down..."

...Never happened to me, but this guy I know...

I think if you secretly polled the team, they'd all say wtf? It's impossible for everyone in the world to see that all we had to do was run the ball and cover Fitzgerald and yet we did exactly the opposite.

...by the way, it was just reported on the radio that Delhomme threw yet another interception this morning.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
