1 hand off in the red zone and other observations.

One.

It seems the deep ball is no prob for Cam. 30 yards and in the Panthers really struggle. Without digging into the last few games red zone stats, I'm willing the bet there was no more than 5 hand offs in the red zone.

Other Def cord's see that and know that. Until some changes happen in the red zone packages and schemes, expect more of the same.

I will also go back and look how often Smitty is targeted within the red zone. If you look at the drive charts, first down the Panthers go deep almost every time to SS.

But in the red zone, they are proly left with other options instead of SS but I haven't looked at film to see all of that.

Bottom line, they have to give some dif looks in the RZ.

Newton running is very effective it spreads them out I think the threat of newton running is great fro everything

no it's not, it's predictable and it's going to get him injured, the qb scrambles are one thing, but every designed run down along the goaline has been completely predictable....

The numbers are going to appear skewed.....Cam is essentially a redzone RB. Which is why he has converted 4 times now in 4 games as a runner in the redzone.

He converted on 2 TDs today. Those are runs. And Cam likely is a better redzone runner than a traditional handoff.

do you know how many times he ran in college out of the SEC. Cam is built to run. That makes him different than other QBs who are called on to run.

Running is predictable in the redzone. Doesn't matter who does the running.

:lol: I know people like to think the SEC is comparable to the NFL but it's not. I have no problem with him scrambling, actually I love it, but the goaline runs are just setting the kid up to get crushed and rolled up on. I would much rather see Stewart or DeAngelo take those goaline carries then have the one guy we can't lose get hurt on a predictable read option play inside the five....just my .02 of course....

its predictable because it doesn't happen often. the title says hand offs. yes, at the end of the day we want a td. but I'm looking at this from the opposing D's perspecitve.

I let Cam have his thows and yards from the 30 and beyond. But from the 20 in, my gameplan IMPROVES, based on the current play selections of the Panthers.

They aren't even doing running plays to keep the D honest. So they go Cover 2 and shrink the field and just wait for throw, throw, throw, fg.

The critique here is not Cam related but play calling related.

Predictable loses meaning in the red zone. The threat of newton running is a good thing and I like that they aren't afraid to use him. I fail to see how it is not effective. Further back near the 20 I could see your point but closer to the goalie cam needs to be utilized. He's the catalyst that is keeping this team from being the worst team in the league.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
