What will Chud's offense look like?

But without Philip Rivers too...

Chud's offense will probably remind people around here a lot of Dan Henning's first half work. I say that because once we got ahead or within a field goal in the second half our offense always went super-conservative.

We will also use the Tight End more as a receiving option, that's something Chud did a lot in Cleveland, and it's also a big part of the Turner variant to the Coryell offense.

That means a lot of power running and short, controlled passes to the middle, coupled with a few heaves downfield every game to see if Smitty or one of the other receivers can make a play. There will be a lot of outs to the tight end, and instead of the backs being the final check-down option, we will have many more plays where they're supposed to catch the ball and get yards after the catch.

Picture our 2003-2005 offense with our current personnel. Instead of Davis, Foster and Goings running we now have Williams, Stewart, and Goodson. Instead of Moose, Smitty, Colbert, and Proehl we'll have Gettis, LaFell, Smitty, and Edwards. Instead of Mangum and whoever the other forgettable Tight Ends were, we will have Shockey, King, Rosario, and potentially Barnidge. The offensive line will be a ton better, it's young and not 'roided up.

The only trouble spot is QB. I personally believe Clausen will look worlds better than he did last year. And I also won't be surprised to see us take a QB in the draft, but if we do that guy won't be ready for a while.

I see us looking like a completely different, and like a much, much better unit.

Which makes me think that it would be better to look at how he did things with the Browns, when they had Derek Anderson, Kellen Winslow Jr, etc...

yeah, I think I clearer picture of what to expect can be found by looking at Clev than SD.

there is still a feed the stud mentality to it......so Jimmy opting away from someone like Steve Smith downfield still won't fly b/c he is scared of making throws to guys that generate attention. Chud also didn't run as many WRs as what went on in SD.

To be truthful I'm not sure. There is so many different ways we can go but since we want have a Vet at QB, I'm going to assume we will start with a heavy run first attack and when we do find our QB of the future we will open the playbook up with a whole lot more. Truthfully we have the unit to run either style so he could go many directions with this team.

      I knew he was hedging for a raise.

      I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By TD alt · Posted

      For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
