We Run to set up the pass....

Which is why I'm not worried about this offense. Yes we are out of rhythm, and haven't found the endzone, but have a look at this if you will. in 2008 when we went 12-4 and had the 10th overall offense (19th passing, 3rd rushing). we saw success. because our focus was on running the ball. That is how this offense works:

2008 Pass attempts (246 - 32nd in NFL) Rushing attempts (504 - 6th in NFL).

This preseason were are looking to see what we can get out of the passing game. Of course they would like to score, thats how you win. But I'm pretty sure they know how many plays they are running and how its being distributed between passing and running. We are a running football team, that is how we score, and that is how we win.

2010 preseason Pass attempts- (117- 6th in NFL) Rushing attempts- (70- 24th in NFL)

expect that to change dramatically when the season starts...

The preseason is not indicitave of the regular season but having said that declaring us as a run only or executing as a run only team has it drawbacks.Last year is a perfect example.The fact is you take what the defense gives.If the defense stays with 8 in the box that dictates passing.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Per Bill Barnwell  Broncos part ways with a CB on the roster bubble Broncos get: 2026 seventh-round pick Panthers get: CB Damarri Mathis The Broncos have a rare problem among NFL teams: too many cornerbacks. ESPN's Jeff Legwold projects they could move on from Mathis, who was very good as a rookie in 2022 before losing his starting job after the defense's slow start in 2023. He played just 27 defensive snaps after Week 6 that season and 80 more across 10 games in 2024. With the Broncos using their 2025 first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron, they could justify moving on from Mathis, who might not be active on game days even if he sticks around. Mathis' best season came with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Denver, and he hasn't been able to reach those same heights since Evero left for Carolina. The Panthers are set with Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and nickel corner Chau Smith-Wade as their three starting corners, but Mathis could push the 28-year-old Jackson and serve as Carolina's primary reserve on the outside. Mathis is owed $3.4 million in 2025, so Denver might essentially buy a draft pick by eating some of that cash, similar to what the Commanders did when they sent running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      They can get fuged for a 6th and 7th. Doesn't make sense for us for anything less than a 4th and them paying a majority of his salary.
