I think this guy really needs the ball in his hands. He has been explosive nearly every chance he gets to have the football. I really think this guy has a chance to be one of the best offensive players on our team. I wonder if theres any way we could get him playing as a slot receiver? If we could have somebody that could get him the ball, just seems to me that he could help our WR corps if that were possible.

Or even if he could just get some more touches as an RB, I just feel like we need to get the ball into his hands more often and see if he really can step up and help this offense.

As much as I love Goodson and what he brings, the dude looks really soft. Way too soft to be a 15-20 touch per game type of player. Keep him where he's at during kick returns and using him for the occasional carry or catch out of the screens, but don't expect him to get a lot of touches and we'll be fine.

Almost every time he really gets a solid tackle on him, he looks like he's going to stay down. I worry he couldn't handle the kind of hits our other backs take.

Goodson really does seem like he is getting it. I fear that the FO may let DWill go if he continues to do so well.

I could be wrong, but judging from the play by play and a few of the highlights I was able to watch, it seems to me Goodson “looked good” when he caught the ball out of the backfield in the shotgun formation. Sure he had the nice 9 yard run, but both DWill and JStew had big runs as well. And their runs seemed to have come when Tampa was expecting the run.

Goodson was stopped from the 4 yard line on consecutive runs late. Then they bring in JStew on 4th and goal at the 1 when everyone in the world knew what they were going to do.

The offense is simply way too predictable. Running the ball a ton isn’t the problem. It’s the way the plays are distributed that seems to be the issue. When you run the ball on 1st and 2nd down and then shotgun on 3rd seemingly every drive, you’re going to have problems especially when Moore is your starting QB.

Shotgun on 1st with screens to Dwill and JStew, try some 2 back sets with those guys, make it more unpredictable and help your QB out. The Panthers have one of the best offensive lines and two of the best backs in the league. Use them!!

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
