After analyzing the tape of the past two games, I have came to a conclusion that the only time the Panthers have been able to move the ball, has been when the Panthers where lined up in a spread O with two backs and the QB in shotgun with a 3 or 4 WR set. If the Panthers could put Goodson in the backfield with Stewart or Williams, the O line could now utilize their speed over the power blocking scheme. As most have noticed the Panthers have no longer been able to power block worth a damn anymore. Utilizing Clausens quick release on the dump offs to Goodson, I noticed the LB's having to backpedal instead of stepping forward on anticipation of a run. D Wills gains have been on the delayed handoff's which utilizes a Zone block instead of a Power scheme.

Will JD notice that Goodson is our second best receiver, and somehow keep him on the field with DWILL or JSTEW ??

Now granted the bucs and Gmen where in prevent most of the time this formation was on the field. Utilizing this formation earlier in the game will force teams to play more nickle and dime formations.

Fiametta has also caused DWILL and STEW to delay hitting the hole, because he is not reading the D correctly. The spread could keep him off the field!!!!

First of all, are you a pro scout? Are you watching game film or watching the TV replay? Just asking, not criticizing...

As for running the spread as a basic offense, we do run it alot. Only our spread formation is a 22 package with 2 wides and 2 TEs. We just don't ass out of it enough or line up in a run package and actually pass the ball.

To your point about Goodson, I agree. That dump pass was great to him, he had 20 yards to run. I question why we didn't go back to it. A play action pass over the middle was open all day as the linebackers came crashing it and the safeties either played the run or doubled Smitty. There were plenty of time when we could have dumped the ball to the back or hit them on a 5 or 10 little pass instead of trying to hold the ball and throwing 25 yards down the field.

I doubt we go to a spread but honestly there was more we could do with what we have, that is for sure.

No not a scout, this was just a basic observation. If you look at this clip, watch how many times Clausen checks through his progressions and refuses the safety outlet. I understand the 22 package and the spread extremely we'll. I was writing the memo so that a novice could understand. There are alot of experts on here that could go in depth on this too.

The main thing is Clausen needs to have a safety outlet to hit at all times. The spread allows this.

      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.
