Half-time adjustments: How do we stop them? How do we pretend to run?

[PantherFanForLife]

Bradford is sick accurate and our pass-rush is struggling. I'm not too worried about our passing. I think it will begin to click in the second half, but our running is attrocious and we have to figure out a way to slow them down.

I'm seriously impressed with how well Bradford is playing and very concerned about how many catchable passes Smith has been dropping this year. We seem to be back to one receiver again, but now we have an even more anemic run game.

What can we do at half-time?

Everyone has been saying this offense is dull, which it is. But we did run a few trick plays that didn't work at all. I think the team needs to capitalize more in the passing game a few plays down field but have the wideouts cross for first downs.

We showed something with the pass game with that 2:00 drill. Come out in pass packages and get the run game going with draws out of 1 tight end packages.

I think we should let Goodson get some carries. Stewart continues to be very ineffective.

One thing's for sure. I'm willing to eat my crow on Bradford. This kid is playing like a 10 year vet. The Rams have a winner here.(here's hoping this jinxes him in the second half)

Don't be so quick to slob on Bradford's knob. Most of his passes have been short, JV-level plays.

Making half-time adjustments is right up there with the flea-flicker: something John Fox just never does...

...yet is still better than any QB on the Panther roster...

halftime adjustments? they don't exist in Carolina. Not when down by less than 21 at the half.

They were not bombs, but they were decent and absolutely spot on. I mean our guys had their receivers wrapped up numerous times and Bradford still completed with pin-point accuracy under pressure.

Right, except Moore's passing in the last two minutes of the half. Or the entire last game.

I think Moore will be fine, but my point is, this kid is a rookie. He should not be playing THAT good. I keep expecting him to make a mistake but so far he's very solid and poised.

Except we just ran a flea-flicker. And the Panthers are usually good for a flea-flicker or two a year. Cool story though.
