Seems to me that the advantage of posting in a forum where you have to have 5000 posts before you can contribute is that you automatically keep the new trolls and newbies out of the conversation. Interestingly though, no threads of any substance have even been attempted. So let me get the party started with a few questions.

It is early of course but lets make a few predictions. In a few months we can look back and see who actually knows what they are talking about,

Which of our DTs which start at the undertackle assuming Edwards starts at the nose.

Does Martin start at FS or will one of the new guys take over??

Who is listed starter at tailback? Stewart or Williams??

Regarding the schemes.....

Will we come out in the pistol formation and continue what we did last year or was that a function of doing the best we could with no off-season and installing on the run? In other words with more time to develop and implement the scheme will we try more traditional pocket passing, or continue the spread option scheme we ran last year which is what opponents will be preparing for. Or we will do something new like run a triple option or something else?? Isn't Chud a master innovator?? How many times will be put Tolbert, Williams, and Stewart in the backfield at the same time??

Last year we ran mostly a cover 2 bland scheme on defense. Obviously this year will be different and with everyone coming back we should be better. But will be go with a more attacking style with mostly man coverage or a fire zone coverage? Will we blitz on just about every play or only occasionally. Will we use more misdirection with the line or mostly count on blitzes from the linebackers to get pressure?

What are the opinions about what we will do from those who have been around a while?????

My opinion???

Neblett will start at undertackle

Nakamura will be free safety

Williams will start at tailback but Stewart will play as much or more than Williams.

They will line up all three backs on 20% of running plays and rarely on passing plays.

We will use a primary man coverage system and use zone on blitzing downs. We will blitz someone on most downs.

We will use a spread option system most of the time. We will use more 3 and 4 wide sets with an empty backfield more often this year given Newton's better defensive reading of the secondary.

Although I never comment on it, been doing this since the beginning of the Huddle. Most have no freaking clue as to what they are talking about, and no one can truely predict what will happen. What's funny is when a person guesses right on one prediction, they think they are the next Nostradamus. As the old saying goes, even a blind squirrel...

My biggest concern: If our offense is extremly productive again, our offensive coordinator will be offered a head coaching job somewhere next season. The Panthers have always had a mediocre offense at best. It's really exciting to see an exciting and productive offense. And with Cam's talent, we need one. Without our OC, or one just as talented and creative, not only will this team be taking a step backwards, but it would also hinder Cam's development and limit his potential derived from his talent.

My opinion anyway.

I'm really not good at this but I wanted to offer my opinion.

As for DT, I have no idea.

I see Martin starting at FS.

I agree that Williams will start and he will be about 50/50 with Stewart.

The other two concerns? I have no idea.

I actually find the RB situation the most interesting. I am going to assume they are going to be catching a few passes as well and it makes me wonder if they will put someone in there for that purpose on certain plays or if they trust our RB's equally.

Just for reference I'm really bad at any real football talk.

My opinion anyway.

What I wonder is whether Chud will install a bunch of new things this year to avoid teams being able to gameplan against what we did last year since they will be watching film. He really had to install the offense on the fly and had to cater things to Cam's level of understanding with no offseason. The hope is that he can be even more creative this year given they have more time to install the offense and players have a better understanding of what he wants to do.

As for getting a head coach job, it is hard to say. He really may be a great OC but that doesn't instantly make him a good head coach.

I'm sure Chud will have some new wrinkles. The good thing is opposing defenses will have to game plan for all the things the Panthers did successfully last year when they doubled their point production from 2010. Add in the new wrinkles plus do everything they did last year even better and we'll be giving opposing Defensive Coordinators ulcers every week.

I suspect at times the numbers wont be as impressive as 2011 due to protecting Cam and using our 3 headed running attack. Plus our defense should do a better job holding onto leads and we wont be scrambling to win.

Might not look as pretty, but the win column should look better this year. Bottom line, just win baby.

This thread is so popular. :P

I didn't realize that asking the supposed huddle elders to actually talk football would be so difficult or apparently boring. I guess I was mistaken when I thought this was a football forum. If I wanted a popular thread I need boob pictures

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
