How to game-plan Newton? - NFP

Smart people (not many in the media) know that this week is not about "Cam Newton". This week is about DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.

Arizona had a reputation of having a bad passing defense, so the Panthers passed the ball. They didn't do that because of "Cam Newton", they did it because it was smart based on what Arizona had a history of not being good at.

Green Bay supposedly has a great secondary. One of the best in the league. Therefore, the Panthers will do the smart thing, and try to establish the run.

I doubt Green Bay is as stupid as the media. I'm sure they expect the Panthers to feature Williams and Stewart and pick their spots in the passing game, with some play action, after establishing the run. Will we see some Hartsock out there with a Shockey or Olsen to throw of Green Bay on some fake runs?

Also, a few designed QB scrambles, if effective, might soften up GB's defense also. In other words, I doubt the passing game is going to be featured until they can get GB thinking, so I doubt GB is focusing a lot on game planning for "Cam Newton". They're thinking strategically, about what the Panthers are probably going to do, based on what they would do if they were in the same situation. If they go by last week, the Carolina run game might break one early.

You're talking about adjusting to the team you play each week right? That's a new concept around here. It might just work.

In 2010, Green Bay ran a 2-4-5 on 68.6% of its plays so expect that most of the time. You can blitz out of it or drop back or a number of things. The key to the game will be running in the first half to make them play a more traditional 3-4 which frees up the underneath routes for the backs and the tight ends. I suspect we will see rollouts, lots of playaction maybe even some option or wildcat plays. You heard it here first.

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
