Cam's Checkdowns...


Recommended Posts

It was less Cam, more playcalling. Cam has demonstrated that he will do that when the opportunity is there numerous times. We made use of a lot of screens and quicker passes this week; called plays that had short options incorporated, to help mask our OL.

 

 

props to Shula for finally displaying some sense of familiarity with his roster.

...I was impressed. Such a simple yet efficient play that Cam never seemed to utilize (always holding onto the ball too long, or going for the big yards). Smart decisions, scanned the field for 2-3 seconds and if nothing was there, dumped it off to DWill or Tolbert for positive yards. Hopefully he can keep it up. I do believe that is a big reason why we moved the ball so well against the Vikes. 

 

When you go back and watch games from 2011 and 2012...Chud only sometimes had checkdown receivers for Cam.  One of the main reasons the Panthers lead the league in plays of over 20 yards in 2011 was because all of the playcalls were geared towards big yardage.  That also hurts your offense and forces Cam to scramble because he's got no one to dump it off to when he's in trouble.

 

Seems like that problem has been addressed.  Props to Shula for at least adding a BASIC OFFENSIVE PRINCIPAL TO THE PANTHERS OFFENSE.

Winning begets winning, success with checkdowns begets success with checkdowns.  I hope this all means a new paradigm shift.  Leopards can change their spots, right?

 

Not a sh*t leopard.

Shula made them available Sunday. The RB was blocking, not available for the dump offs previous games

THIS!!!

 

All the cam haters will say this has been there the entire time. It hasn't, they stayed into block, and they suck at blocking. So if you have the option to dump it past the pressure, omg there's some greenery. This all falls on Shula for not incorporating something that helped propel Baltimore to the super Bowl last year.

    • If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes  Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo  
    • Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.
