  1. 1. How many carries a game should Cam get? (Designed and scrambles)

Props to xerxes for having this idea in the other thread.

For reference:

Cam ran it 126 times last season for 706 yards, a 5.6 YPC while running it 7.9 times per game.

Deangelo ran it 155 times last season for 836 yards, a 5.4 YPC while running it 9.7 times per game.

J. Stew ran it 142 times last season for 761 yards, a 5.4 YPC while running it 8.9 times per game.

Tolbert ran it 121 times last season for the Chargers for 490 yards, a 4.0 YPC while running it 7.6 times per game.

It'd really be in our best interest to take that next step this season from being a run oriented team to becoming a modern NFL offense.

30 carries a game between runners is just stupid.

yeah it didn't really work for our offense last season :/

It should change game to game. After all we need to gameplan for each opponent and take what they give us. Foxball was about running consistently regardless of how effective it was. Chud on the other hand seem pretty adept at changing to suit what works for our players and takes advantage of the opponent's weaknesses. Putting an average number of carries on this offense is putting it in a box which could limit it's potential.

A lot of deffenses are geared at stopping the pass. A strong run game will tourch the nickel and dime....that being said, I think we will be balanced. One thing we ran toward the end of the season was two RB sets, with the addition of Tolbert we can run those sets more often because we'll have fresh legs all game. The D has to worry about three runners and it still could be a pass.

Tolbert will spell dwill and stew and also be used to protect Cam blocking and going out for short dump offs. I am thinking we will be using a lot of two back sets in the Shotgun next year and that is why Tolbert was brought in. I think we run mostly from this type of formation. It will really keep the defense on their toes.

Why?

I would like to see fewer designed runs in the red zone for our QB (...NOT scrambles, if he sees an opening he should take it) but I don't understand why you think this. If we are moving the ball and scoring, I don't see why overall number of carries really matters.

And as someone else pointed out, when it comes to backs, touches >>> carries as far as a metric of involvement.

We were 14th in the NFL with 28 carries per game. For the most part, the better teams in the NFL averaged between 25 and 32 carries per game.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
