Chud overrated

[CRA]

Said it all off season as people went on and on....bulk of that last year was just Cam and some plays brought in by Norv's son.

Chud's gameplan was every bit as pathetic as our D.

We have DeAngelo Williams and he has ZERO traditional runs. ZERO. You didn't use him in that zone read junk all season last year for a reason. Williams lines up and takes it to teams if you give hima chance. Horrible. Putting Cam in Shotgun ALL HALF is letting the Bucs T off on our OL and QB. Horrible. Horrible.

I just hurt my eyes they rolled so hard in my head.

[Growl]

Put it in the gameday thread, only 4 conventional snaps on O in the first half. Rest was out of the shotgun. That's pitiful.

[Inimicus]

Saints* bandwagon is that way------->

[KillerKat]

Chud had suspect playcalling during crucial times last season too.

[BANE]

So why did we have a top 10 offense last yr if Chud is so bad? You ppl are idiots

[LinvilleGorge]

I'm not sure he's overrated, but he didn't do a very good job in the 1st half. The OL did a terrible job.

They should roll when people overhype him....

2 DWill runs in the read option both for a loss......that is how Chud uses one of our best weapons. a player that has historically lined up and abused them when actually given a chance.

people forget Chud's whacked gameplans early last season as well....

KK was saying something like this last year, I do remember that.

As far as the Saints* bandwagon, no I'm not jumping on it, but it will run us all over next week to the tune of at least 40 points.

We had a top ten offence. To judge a coach based on one half is silly.

He was a big reason for our success last year. As football outsiders put it:

A much bigger concern is whether Newton can actually build on his success. Chudzinski did a brilliant job of tailoring his system to Carolina’s personnel. That personnel has now fractured a bit. No. 1 tight end Greg Olsen is back, but his running mate, Jeremy Shockey is not. Unless fifth-year backup Gary Barnidge can suddenly become a flexible receiving weapon, Chudzinski will have to drift away from the dual-tight end sets that defined his offense last season.

With a two-tight end approach, Carolina’s offense had an inherent unpredictability to it. The Panthers could always line up in a balanced set with a receiver and tight end on each side of the field. Or, without changing personnel, they could flex into a spread formation. That would stretch a base defense wide, leaving no help for whatever linebacker was matched up on Olsen or Shockey. There were a host of other formation variations in between these two, many of them involving a shotgun. What made this flexibility really potent was the fact that Carolina was great at running out of the shotgun.

Credit Chudzinski for building an unconventional ground game. By going shotgun, he compelled defenses to treat Newton as a run and pass threat on every down. That gave defenders an extra set of thoughts to process on each play. Chudzinski gave teeth to this by actually making good on the threat of Newton running. At 244 pounds, Newton, unlike the faster-but-far-more-fragile Michael Vick, has the strength to absorb hits and finish runs. He also has an innate sense for using his elusiveness to minimize the impact of the blows he takes. Also, Chudzinski placed an added mental burden on defenders by featuring counters and misdirections in the ground game and play-action. It helped that the Panthers had a pair of upper echelon running backs in DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Both are fundamentally sound all-around runners with the quickness and bendiness to create their own space after receiving the ball from a standstill position.

Chud has proven enough over his career that he isn't overrated. But the bucs staff has certainly coached circles around him today.
