Most good offenses have 4-5 bread and butter plays that they run every week. I don't know why so many fans think this is specific to John Fox and the Panthers. It's not like they never add anything or never change things up a little bit...everybody does. If you can't execute your bread and butter plays though, none of those trick plays everybody likes so much will do any good.

On one hand, this means that there is some legitimacy to the complaints about our general philosophy about offense, it's based more on execution than having a large encyclopedia of plays and trying to "outsmart" the defense with trick plays.

On the other hand, when the team does execute, the result can be VERY frustrating and demoralizing to the opponent. It's basically sending the opponent the message of "We're going to run these plays over and over again and there's nothing you can do to stop it."

On the defensive side of the ball is anyone else sick of blitzing the house on 3rd and long?It doesn't seem like we get a lot of "pressure sacks." I know that Garcia is a different kind of QB but it seems to be a trend lately to blitz and let up 8-10 yards instead of letting Pep and maybe one linebacker chase the QB down and get a coverage sack.

    • Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at. 
    • Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often. 
    • With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
