the screen pass


The Other Colbert

Recommended Posts

I see teams run this play to perfection every week, setting it up and having a lot of success. We have 3 explosive HBs very capable of catching the ball in stride.

The screen pass also will take pressure off the pass rush during a series.

After watching many of Jimmy Clausen's highlights from Notre Dame, he knows how to run the play... often.

So why wasn't this play utilized to not only build Clausen's confidence but get effective results...

I'm looking at you Davidson

Let's flip it around a little. How often does our defense get blown up by a well-timed screen play?

That is one thing I noticed that TE screen was fooling the panthers D every time, they must of got 3 3rd down conversions from it.

While the smoke route to smith is a nice play, I would also like to see a

RB screen, or a short pass to a RB in the flats.

The panthers also have the personel for that TE screen as well.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
