Football Outsiders: Panthers are the most efficient running team in the league

also we lead the league in rushing TDs at 15, and we rush for about 135 a game

still not good enough for you power running game fanboys or are you at least satisfied with the running game's production?

BOOM, BABY! BOOOOOOOM!

Thank you! Now, stop with the " we need to run the ball more" garbage. Our offense is fine the way it is.

also would like to note we're 11th in TOP, above average, and not only that, but for all you ball control sticklers out there, the average TOP of 30:39 this year is better than our TOP in both 2008 and 2009, where we rushed an average of 5-6 times more than we average this year and ended up at 29:28 (2008; ranked 21st in league) and 30:13 (2009; ranked 13th)

and for a fun fact Cam Newton alone has more rushing TDs than the entire Panthers offense in 2003.

I'm pretty sure we were about as balanced as a team can possibly get last week.

Don't think anyone would tell you that last week as a team we didn't run enough.

There are some people who think we ran D-Will too much or whatever but I don't care about which of our two RBs are running as long as it suits their styles (mmm more D-Will up the middle! BRILLIANT!)

three... headed... monster....

Pick your poison.

On a related note I think we are finally starting to see some of the things that I had hoped out of this offense and Cam Newton before the season started. Our third and shorts and red zone offense has been really hard to defend as of late. We are seeing a steady dose of read option, pistol, and QB draws in those situations and it is starting to payoff.

    • 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
