Fox runs the stalest offense in football.


Awesomeness!!

When we throw the ball on 3rd and anything over 6 I'll rethink this thread..

I didn't say it was boring. I said it was stale, because it is predictable (like someone else said). Nothing wrong with pounding the ball, but we are a complete 180 from the EAgles. They throw bombs down the field on 3rd and 1, we hand it off on 3 and 7. I'm just asking for him to change it up a little.

So basically, you will be rethinking it on virtually every series of downs this year? :)

Fast forward to about a minute-and-a-half in this video and prepare to start rethinking.

That would be 3rd and 26, and in a spot where a more modest gain would have put the team in field goal range and allowed them to take the lead (they were down by only one point).

Fox has allowed a lot more wide open attack under Jeff Davidson than the one Dan Henning ran. Is it still primarily run-based? Yep, but that doesn't equal stale, especially not with two dynamic runningbacks in the stable.

Bottom Line: It's a mistake to judge anything about the offense in preseason, except maybe in week three, but even then I'd hedge.

I don't know why I didn't notice it sooner (like years ago). I noticed how we for the most part run like 5 plays all game. We change tha play ever so slighty that so it doesn't mirror the or original, but if you pay attention you can tell. The sweeps, the handoffs, the smoke passes to Smitty, and crossing patterns with the slot recievers. I don't know if its Jeff Davidson, or Fox, but my god.........

You and marcopolo are the Huddle version of Dumb and Dumber.

Thanks to Mr. Scot for reminding me about that gem from LATE last year against a team that was a gnats hair from the SB, on national TV, in their house.....aside from the loss of Pep, who I didn't see in the highlights, we have Gross back and some new, young, hungry talent. I'm stoked.

That game was in our house, but maybe you should re-watch Peppers is in the highlights.

Go to Adrian Peterson's touchdown run by the goaline. Peppers is there at RE getting blown off the LOS and then standing there in the middle of the field watching AP cross the goaline.

    • Went to school in MD when this came out. Dance floor got CRAZY when this joint came on!
    • They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.   
    • There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
