Very general philosophical tweaks for our offense

We had a pretty good offense last year. D-Will probably accounted for half the horsepower of our engine, but now I am thinking that we need to oil it some more to get optimum performance by:

1. Designing some pass plays for Deangelo Williams (and company), preferably in the flat where he can get his motor running. Let the NCAA all-purpose yards leader do his thing by throwing to him.

2. Incorporating some more screen passes (in addition to the overused Smitty Screen (for lack of a better term).

3. Throwing to the TEs (which you know will be open most of the time) around five times per game, especially down in the red zone and end zone. Why squander all that athleticism and talent?

4. Using the draw play, the counter trey, and other running plays of misdirection a little more liberally.

5. Continued use and mastery of the shotgun

6. Getting the ball to the open number 3 receiver when warranted

(7. Perhaps throwing in a trick play every once in a blue moon, though I know that this is probably delusional on a Jon Fox team).

It seems as though I have been saying the same thing for years. They started using the shotgun more effectively a couple of years ago, now I only hope that the OC and Fox will ironically become a little more imaginative by using some of these "old school" tactics. I believe that incorporating more use of these tactics will ultimately lead to more ball control, time of possession, and ultimately a more precise and successful offensive machine.

Ya gotta get the ball in DW's hands as much as possible. Screens and more screens.

I think that's why they got Goodwin. 3rd down back.

Need one other option in the red zone(Jarrett, TE) to make the team very difficult to stop.

Seems like these are things that can apply to 90% of the teams in the league

You may be right, in theory. But, not trying to sound like a homer, the Panthers' offense was one of the better ones in the league last year, so much so that we (unlike 90% of the teams in the league) had a good look at getting into the dance. Just think what would happen if we really did incorporate some of these things within an already good, but potentially explosive offense. Dynamite!

I don't want ANY changes to the offense. It's working perfectly well as it is.

You can never get too comfortable. The NFL is a fluid league where teams are always trying to improve. If you don't, then you'll find yourself losing ground.

In any event, last year's Oakland, Tampa Bay, and to a lesser extent the Minny game left a lot to be desired. There is ALWAYS room for improvement in the execution of play on both sides of the ball, particularly when you have to face even tougher defenses (and better teams) than in the previous year.

Fixed.

a great run game can cover up a lot of our flaws...its still things we can do

Word! That's what I'm sayin'.

Let's not mistake the magnificent Deangelo Williams (and to a lesser extent, the outstanding Jonathan Stewart) for a panacea or facade for a need for improvement.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
