Stewart - 8 carries

our run game is awful. you can't just pound it all day long when you're averaging like 2.6 ypc. I mean nothing really gets done when we run the ball.

Nothing got done when we passed the ball either...

Stewart - 2 receptions. Not utilizing him at all when trying to stay in the game is just embarrassing.

Our intermediate passing game is non existent as well.

Try watching the game on a play by play ticker one week and you'll laugh at how every single play is

"Cam Newton pass incomplete deep left"

"Cam Newton pass incomplete deep right"

"Cam Newton sacked for loss of 16 yards to Carolina 8"

"Carolina punt to Denver 48, returned for 36 yards to blah blah blah"

Every single drive. It's honestly as bad as the run run pass punt era of years passed. I just don't understand why we don't utilize the intermediate area of the field, we have the personnel to do so quite well, especially against a team like Denver. Some three and five step drops with some routes to Olsen would have won this game for us but every passing play was Y deep hook/skinny post X Go or some other crap with Gross spending the whole game flailing about like a toddler whining on the floor of the grocery store.

It's mind boggling that we spent all that money on RBs when it's pretty obvious that Chud had no desire to utilize them.

What's mind boggling is you had a GM (Hurney) who hires a staff (Rivera et al) who doesn't use the roster as the GM must have intended for it to be.

They didn't discuss this before the hire?

I dont know maybe may I am not paying attention .... but it sure seam liked to me today after the frist two drives where we saw an I-Formation and Cam under center more often than not, that from there on he was pretty much in the shotgun on every play, and that was way early in the game. I just dont get it. This offense seams to better when Cam is under center, and we go with a two TE set.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
