holy poo. Can you imagine? If this OL is back to speed, then you have Olsen on one side, Shockey on the other, Both of our RB's are back in the fold, Steve smith is back...whew!!

I really think we must go with the 'Ace' as our base formation esp. with this rookie QB. Wow, just fuging WOW!

I suspect we will see lots of 12, 21, 22, and 11 personnel groupings this year. The ace formation is simply one of the many options available in either 12 or 11 personnel groupings. (for those not familiar with the terms, the first number refers to the number of running backs in a play and the second one refers to the number of TEs. If you count 5 players on the line and the quarterback makes 6 total, add in the running backs and tight ends, that tells you how many receivers are left when you subtract from 11.) So in 12 personnel you have 2 wide receivers and in 11 personnel you have 3 wide receivers. In 10 personnel you have a single running back, no tight end and 4 wide receivers.

For those who care..................

I have been wanting to see the Panthers run out of single back sets for awhile now. Deangelo is a threat inside and out and can catch, Stewart ran from a singleback formation in college.

I think that it would really help out having a rookie QB and being able to disguse run/pass plays with that formation.

See I am thinking in the 11 we will see olsen or Shockey (most likely olsen) split in the slot off the LOS with shockey still on the line.

      One man’s trash…

      I would heavily push back on the notion of Tomlin and Cowher inheriting "collapsed teams." From 1980 to 1991(prior to Cowher and after their Super Bowl victories) the Steelers experienced just 4 sub .500 seasons. In fact the winning percentage for those years was 0.505. At most that was relatively mediocre, something fairly akin to the pre-Tepper Panthers. From Cowher through Tomlin(1992 to Present) it has been the NFL's best franchise. 22 playoff appearances, 4 Super Bowl Appearances, 2 Titles, 15 times winning the division. In fact they have only experienced 3 sub .500 records in that 34 season span.  That isn't ever a scenario where rebuilding happens. It's constant and consistent retooling so that your franchise floor is always high. It's smart business decisions, exceptional drafting and quality personnel moves that create a situation where that floor STAYS high.  It was precisely BECAUSE we opted to go through a complete teardown and "rebuild" without any of that competence being in the organization at all that led us to where we are currently. A situation that will more than likely continue for well over a decade longer.  Long term successful franchises do not "rebuild." They are in a constant state of competent flux that sustains them through some leaner periods without ripping the foundation completely out that led to that success in the first place.

      Houston's OL sucks but Stroud has also definitely regressed. Similar story to Jayden Daniels in Washington. Both guys looked like future MVPs as rookies but sustaining success in the NFL at QB is hard. The more tape there is on you for opposing DCs to study the harder it gets.

      So I was curious and remember seeing a tweet but here are Young’s numbers vs Strouds number since that time  Stroud since week 3 2025. Bryce since coming back off the bench and playing in Denver
