I'm seeing a trend. 3rd and 2, you are marching down the field and Chud tells Cam to throw a deep pass, which 90% of the time is overthrown/thrown out of bounds/ or missed. 3rd and 2....the easiest down to convert. Just frecking get the 1st down, by either A. Running or B. Short Slant route and get the frecking 1st down!!!

understandable. But on downs with only 2 yards..they need to start using the quick slant or some fade routes. Hell have Cam run up the middle for 2 yards to get the first down then slide. Either way, this is the 2nd time we have had good drives do nothing on a short 3rd and 2 play which i believe could have been converted very easily.

3rd and 2 might be the most difficult play in the game for a team who can't pound the ball up the middle.

We aren't a good running team this year.

If we ran up the guy and got stuffed or picked off on a quick slant everyone would be asking why we are not going down field on that play with it being wide open.

People are going to second guess whatever happens. I am sure the coaches are going with what is the highest probability of success.

We were 8-12 on 3rd downs yesterday. You can't ask for much better than that on the road against a good defense. The play calling on those crucial downs was good. We were unlucky not to pick up a couple of those 3rd downs. We picked up a few 3rd and shorts by running the ball... Cam took a couple on his own and I think we ran Stew or D for another.

I wouldn't say that we aren't a good running team this year. Stewart is avereging 4.8 ypc and 5.2 ypc for Williams. Are we as consistent as we've been in the past in the running game? Not even close; at least not thus far this season, but the running game has been pretty good actually these last 3 weeks.

Would have done some kind of outside run or off tackle with a pulling guard or a lead blocker.

I don't mind going downfield on 3rd and short, but that pass would have never been completed with double coverage like that. Would have rather him hit the TE out the backfield (think it was Olsen), who looked to me to be wide open for at least 6 yards.

Then again, I'm not a coach. They know what they're doing (at least we hope).

We aren't a power running team, all the plays are finesse or misdirection plays. When it comes time to line up in the I form and run a dive or blast, it gets smashed and ends badly.

Maybe he thinks Cam will drop back and either 1. complete the long pass play, 2. hit the secondary receiver, 3. find a check down, or 4. Tuck and pick up the first down with his legs.

Never understood why people see a play call and think there was only one planned option. Cam could have easily made a different choice despite whatever the primary read was.

I personally don't want to see us start running the ball on 3rd and 2. Keep putting it in Cam's hands and let him figure out how to make the decisions.

They are airing it out with Cam, its exciting to watch, he his becoming experienced, and soon, when all the other pieces are right, we will start winning games.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By TD alt · Posted

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
