#Panthers OC Mike Shula responds to criticism he was too conservative vs. SEA, says he'll do what it takes to win. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/09/09/4300788/ron-rivera-carolina-panthers-passing.html …

 

 


“This system is a system that does that a lot. But just because you have a system that does that doesn’t mean you have to force the ball down the field,” Shula said Monday. “I really thought Cam did a nice job on a lot of decisions he made. There’s some things we looked at that, yeah, we had some opportunities. We think we’ll get better in that regard. But you don’t want to just all of a sudden say, ‘Hey, we’ve got to throw the ball down the field.’”

 

Shula said the Seahawks played a lot of deep zone coverages, particularly on third downs, forcing Newton to settle for underneath receivers.

from the same article, greg olsen...

 

 

 

“When you look back, it’s easy to second-guess everything. I thought our plan was good,” Olsen said. “I thought we had them on their heels at different times. We made critical errors. And that’s not the plays, that’s the guys running them. Between the drops on third down and penalties or turnovers, it’s hard to beat a good team when you do that.”

I don't anyone has said "Hey we just have to throw the ball down field."

 

The offense looked decent in the first half. Once Seattle made half time adjustments, we were shut down. This has been happening to Shula his entire career.

 

Hopefully we figure something out.

You mean the players didn't throw the coaches under the bus?

 

Shocking.

So he is saying their defense played better than our offense. That's encouraging. I'm tired of this "we think we'll get better." bs. It's been three damned years!

Exactly dude. For ONCE I'd like to hear an opposing team make the excuses after we beat that ass.

If the seahawks are playing deep zones then Olsen should have been eating them up over the middle medium. 125 yards passing is sad no matter what defense is in there.

 

too much logic.

 

Here, I will write 1000 words on why 7 points is actually awesome.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
