Why is our gameplan not working around our QB strengths? Not to mention that our playcalling sucks. If there is 8 in the box: quick slants, curls and screens till they back off, unless your QB can't doesn't have enough accuracy. Our QB's are inexperienced and we have em dropping back and waiting on deep pass routes to develope. We're only running the ball 20 times a game with two prime backs, each back should get 20 touches. Our problem isn't the players, it's coaching; playcalling, gameplanning/strategy and adaption during the game. Fox refuse to change/bend or make changes to the gameplan during the game. Adding WR's won't do any good unless we change our gameplan. Well maybe if the new guys can catch better than Lafell, it will definitely help.

Maybe because with 8 or 9 in the box, you don't throw quick slants, curls or screens. You are then throwing into the defense's strength not the quarterbacks. With 9 in the box you go playaction and throw out routes or go routes or passes deeper down the field. What you are advocating would work with blitz packages throwing into the area just vacated by the blitzer, but not a normal 8 or 9 in the box.

As P55 said you have to use playaction and really sell it.

The quick routes beat the blitzes, but not a stacked zone.

[Jangler]

They are not sending in two or three plays for Clausen to be able to audible. Understandable with him being a rookie and probably not recognizing enough defenses to be able to audible, but something needs to change. These are the time when Jake is missed...

[PantherPhann]

OK I agree with the playaction but our WR's are not getting open quick enough. I'm simply saying that we need to alter our gameplan to fit whatever the strenght is of our QB, whichever QB is playing. We seem to play defense to our players strengths, like moving Beason to LOLB, Conner at MLB and Anderson at ROLB. Why not do the same thing on offense. Whatever that QB does best, we need to create that atmosphere for him to be successful and running the ball more would help as well. Not running up the middle, trap runs, counters etc. What we doing ain't working. I see a new coaching regime coming. I like Fox, but I think he's done and I've never liked Davidson. I never understood why we signed him from Clevand, like they had a good rep or sommen.

[pantherj]

Didn't Moore throw a slant when he came in the game? Did it hit the WRs leg and bouce off for an INT? Or was that a nightmare I had?

[Seamonk]

Nothing will work until the fatasses on the oline decide to anchor down and not get rolled over like chumps.

[CLTPanther]

We use game plans?

[CBDellinger]

We use game plans?

Clearly we dont.

Ding! Ding! Until your QB has the time to drop back into the pocket, good luck with actually running plays. This is not the only problem, but it is a major part

[panthers55]

Truth is nothing will work until we find a quarterback who can actually execute the offense and give us a passing attack. Right now neither have done much which is why we look so bad.

The quarterback is the hub around which everythig revolves. Honestly brees could come in tomorrow and using the same playbook we would be 100 times better in 2 weeks.

That is the real truth.

I completely agree with that. Clausen has been a QB most of his young life. I've read that he's had his own QB Coach since he was 13. So why is he mishandling the ball during pop warner plays. Getting the ball from the C, handoffs, not getting the ball over the D line (batted down), throwing the ball in the dirt on a scramble or to a dump off target? I guess that we should use the rest of this season to evalute our QB situation. This will let us know who we will draft with our 1st pick. Still hate giving up our 2nd for Edwards but we'll get a good, possibly 3rd compensatory for Peppers, that won't cost as much.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Changing the gameplan won't work because our QB is a rookie, we may have the worst O-Line in the league (currently), and some of our WRs can't catch the ball or get open. It's just a nightmare situation that can't get any better until most of those things improve. In our case, the O-Line and WRs need to improve first, which in turn will help out the rookie QB.
