Greg Cosell Breaks Down Our Offensive Woes


Proudiddy

Recommended Posts

This was on The Herd yesterday, and I meant to post it, but had other stuff going on... Anyway, for those of you not familiar with him, he's been with NFL Films for over 30 years and he's the guy that breaks down film with Jaws all day.

If you haven't heard it, it is REALLY worth the listen, and it's only about 2-3 minutes on us at the very beginning of the segment. Check it out and it confirms/explains a lot, especially for those, like myself, who know the problem isn't Cam.

Prediction: trying to return to a real offense mid season against a top D with our makeshift O-line is not going to get fantastic relults.

End result on Huddle?

"Bring back the option and make Chud head coach and GM!!!!"

its not like they dont practice these plays they are just not calling them.... the offense will be fine

I'm with you Jarhead, it truly defies logic that professional coaches have taken 7 weeks to realize this offense not only didn't work, but it was the sole reason outside of the Atlanta game that we lost. You are losing, you are 1-5, all because of your offense... And you refuse to change it.

Regardless of whether that is Chud or Rivera's final call, that's why I feel they should both be canned by the end of the season. THEY wasted our season and have brought undue criticism on our players for no obvious reason. It's just disgusting when casual fans can make these observations and you have a couple of idiots getting paid millions of dollars that can't.

Excellent segment... Cosell is basically saying what those of us that have ACTUALLY WATCHED Panthers games have been saying...

Cowherd on the other hand is just a parrot that's just throwing stuff on the wall and seeing what sticks. I bet he hasn't watched an entire Panthers game this season... or last.

Yeah biscuit, I mentioned in bumping the Cowherd thread yesterday that after talking with Steve Young, among others on his show yesterday who were pro-Cam, he said "Cam is like Big Ben. I've always said that, that's who he plays most like."

Really?

That's not what he was saying Monday. His approach is to say so many things, both positive and negative, that he can always go back and say, "See, I told you, look what I said here!"

He's a clown.

It was so obvious in the very first game of the season that our offense had regressed and Chuds offense was flawed.I have lost all confidence in Rivera/Chud and cannot imagine how the players feel.I guess the real question is how much additional damage has been done give our season is down the tubes? You know the players will never trust our current coaching staff again,

Yeah man, and I told people that Cam was basically calling Chud out in the presser Sunday... And then idiots get on here and media people on their soapboxes and say what a bad person he is... Some didn't think he was calling Chud out, but that's exactly what I thought it was, and he had every right to.

He said "I just run the plays that are called." "Same script, same director." But when asked for a solution, he offered a vague answer, which I believe was the smart way of saying "You figure out what I'm saying, it's not my place to offer the answer or I'll be in trouble with the organization."

He should be viewed as a hero for that presser. I actually wish someone would've said it plainly weeks ago, but it was obvious he was trying to do what was asked of him even though he knew it wasn't working... He had just had enough.

    • He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
    • The last 8 weeks, Nix had 2,022 yards, 21 TDs, 6 INTs on 70% completions While Bryce's last 8 games he had 1,709 yards, 12 TDs (albeit adding 5 more rushing), 3 INTs on 61% completions. I'm not going to pretend I watched those Broncos games to know exactly how Nix actually looked, but in retrospect, his statistics were better.  Hell, in just his final 8 games, Nix had only 5 less TD passes than Bryce has in his 30 game (28 starts) career. And you said he had better WRs than Bryce did, but I'm not even sure that's even true either. Sutton and Thielen might be completely different types of WRs, but I'd say they are pretty equal on effectiveness if not even a slight edge to Thielen (63.6 YPG for Sutton to 61.5 for Thielen).  Then XL and Coker vs Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vale, again, at worst a push, if not lean in our favor there too. Why is it so hard for some Panthers fans to just objectively look at our team/Bryce and be honest with themselves. ? He was significantly improved the final two months of the season from his first season and a half.  But he was still a below average QB during that time, even if he had a few good throws and clutch moments.
