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.

    • Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I for one do not believe Eric Dickerson went on this podcast just to perpetuate a blatant lie. He didn't say he heard this second hand. He said he was told this by a source inside the NFL office. No way that kid should have fallen to the fifth round with the QB situation that exists on some of the teams in the NFL. I had the same thoughts as Dickerson after he didn't go on the 2nd day of the draft. And when he did get drafted he ended up on a team with essentially 4 QBs ahead of him on the depth chart: Flacco, Pickett, Gabriel, and Watson. The only reason he probably was drafted at all was so the NFL couldn't be accused of "collusion". I have no doubt his attitude turned off some people. And, he may not be able to take his game to the NFL level. But, if can't play or is a jerk, a team is at liberty to cut him at any time. This situation reeks because it looks he's never going to be given a legit chance to compete for a starting job in the league.
    • Which, it's not a difficult sell to say that the NFL colludes against players. There are ample examples of it. The specificity of that allegation is just wild, though. If that really were true, the whole fuging system is fixed. I am just not inclined to believe that.
