Bye Week Priorities....

1. Run blocking. We are no where near as productive as we should be, especially given teams are no longer loading up the box against Cam.

2. Punt returns. Would be nice to see AE get just a little bit of space to run every now and then.

3. Coaching. Growing tired of the mental breakdowns and penalties. Falls in the discipline category, which falls on Rivera.

Without some of these holds and mental errors we've had, I think we win another game or two. We really have to get more disciplined. We've left points on the field and extended drives with mental lapses numerous times.

i love the way we're static on D before snap..no movement. Let's see if the brain trust can figure out some new schemes during the break or maybe get some more depth in LB....

Not a good idea given the youth on our team. Best thing right now is to keep it as simple as possible. Confusing the young guys would not be so smart.

We keep saying we're young, on offense, there are two 'young' piece parts.

Most of the holding is coming from Gross, Wharton, Steve Smith and our personal favorite Nanee....then the pushoffs with Shockey.

There is nothing young in that group.

Yes, I know the rookie OT had a couple that's expected. The others should know better.

Zod's right on the money there... I don't think there's much to be done with the D. They're young and inexperienced and thin... don't go confusing them. Our running game needs to step up, whether it's blocking or the RB's or what.

Penalties... yeah there can always be better discipline but penalties are gonna happen.

Special Teams needs all kinds of kick in the ass... KO & Punt returns, KO & Punt coverage, and the FG unit. Idk if it's coaching or execution or what, but they need to change that completely around.

1. Announce special teams penalties and personal fouls after the whistle will be running stairs in the stadium - during the game.

2. Make Armanti Edwards watch enough video of Dancing with the Stars that he decides to refrain from dancing during punt returns. Also, point out that he cannot call for a fair catch before the punt.

3. Show Rivera, (and Chud, for his 12 formations before every play), hours of video of coaches taking responsibility for penalties so they will recognize they are close to leading the league in an area they would rather avoid.

4. Put Sam Mills statue on the field - it would make more tackles staying in place than our LB are doing running out of position.

5. Let Cam take Mare out to lunch (along with snapper and holder) and share what happens next time they miss a routine FG.

We are what I thought we would be. A more competitive team, but with too many holes right now to win consistently. The O is ahead of schedule, but the D is way behind. Honestly I am pretty happy with the season so far.

That said, a few minor details to address.

1: Consider giving Shockey a 2 year extension.

2. Have a sit down with the O line, Stew, and D Will, and try to figure out what's going on there.

3. Get healthy.

    • Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
    • Nah its Rod Brindamour 0-11 in the Eastern Conference Finals under him.....   Three trips in seven years Zero WINS in the third round. 
    • I think I legitimately may be a cursed sports fan. I am sorry yall
