I'm more worried about his blocking as I always am. I've never been convinced that he is a good lead-blocking FB. He seems to just crash into people with his head. I like to see fullbacks stand people up and shove them out of the hole. Don't get me wrong--I like to watch him catch screen passes and dance as much as anybody, but we shouldn't think he's a good FB just because he can "rumble."

I am not talking about the offense as it is designed, I was referring to some of us fans and changing our minds about what we want from game to game and moment to moment.

 

The offense was open enough yesterday.  It wasn't too conservative.  I don't buy into the fact that you force throws downfield and waste downs or risk turnovers just to say you did it.

 

I think we had plays called to go downfield, we just didn't take it, or the Hawks took it away.

 

You already know I agree that loss was more about execution than playcalling.

 

Same result either way though.

I want to see more designed plays with him as the target in the passing game. He impressed me more with his hands and elusiveness in those situations last year than he did with his carries. He's a load in the open field, but he can't get out there much. He needs to be found for one on one matchups against linebackers and corners where he can break a tackle and reel off a big one. He's not getting it done between the tackles. DeAngelo is a strong "bad line" runner in the sense that his elusive style makes problems because he can cut through small spaces. Tolbert not so much. He needs big holes to open up and he thrives on yards after first contact. We simply don't have the offensive line to make Tolbert a feature option.

 

With as wide as the blitzers were coming on the outside to keep Cam inside the pocket, we need to see more designed draw plays and quick reads by Cam to take the yardage the defensive gives. Delayed handoffs and QB scrambles. We have to make the edge rushers play a little more honest so Cam has more time to make decisions without fear that the pocket is coming down around him.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
