It may be true that he shotgun may not be best suited for play action, however, you can still run successfully from the shotgun. The spread offense by definition spreads out the field, which can actually aid in running the ball. And after all, you can still fake a handoff from the shotgun.

If they stack the box you pass, if they play a more straight-up defense you can still run. And I have the utmost confidence in the talent we have in the running game.

IMO, you gain more than you loose with the shotgun. Your QB has a little more time to scan the field. You can run or pass out of that formation. I like the flexibility the shotgun brings.

Then again, I could be wrong. Just my thoughts, and GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt we go spread very much. Our biggest strength right now is our run game so Im gonna suspect we will use that a whole lot. Besides no matter what any one says Cam Newton is not ready to read NFL defenses on every play.

I am under no illusions when it comes to Cam's ability as a starting QB. It will probably be a long arduous process, unfortunately. However, Cam is comfortable in the shotgun, why not keep his comfort level as high as possible?

You can still run from the shotgun with either your RB or your QB, although I would prefer that my QB not run too often. The spread offense is a passing offense first. With that said, Cam is going to have to throw the ball. We will live or die by how quickly he can adapt to the pro level. He doesn't have to be lights out right off the bat, just good enough to keep the defense honest. Every completion makes the running game that much more efficient.

Sounds and looks good in my head. Whether that translates to the field is another matter. After all, this is a time of hope for the coming season. No reason not to think and hope for the best?!

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO CATS!!!!!! (Carolina Panthers)

After 20 years of marriage, I ain't worried about my swag. One persons' "lame", doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.

Just my thoughts, and GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!

Are you one of those 50+ year old guys that paints their face like a cat and goes "raawwwrrrr!!!" on gameday?

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
