Can the Panthers run on New Orleans?

Current New Orleans Rushing Defense Rank: 16

 

 

The best defense we can have on Sunday will be via our own offensive run game. If we can run the ball, keep the clock moving, and more importantly keep Brees on the bench we will win this game.

 

However, the run game has struggled a bit as of late, with the exception of Mike Tolbert.

 

Deangelo and Stewart have been non factors.

 

So what do we do? Use Tolbert as the feature back? Designed run plays from Cam?

 

Do we keep feeding Deangelo the ball even if he gets no gain or worse?

I think Cam needs a bigger planned role than normally....

 

Also, I actually think Williams can run on them.  I don't like the way he matches up a lot but I like him against an aggressive D on turf....and they aren't built like AZ.

I feel we've been kind of bad at this all year minus a few games, despite what the stats say because of Cam's numbers inflating it.  

 

I'd almost like to use Tolbert more than either, he's been more dependable and creates more yards from pure power.  I'm not sure about Stew or DWill, but I'd like to see a lot more screens. We haven't got Stewart in open field this year so that may be a good way for him to get some confidence although he's looked slow since coming back which I guess isn't that surprising.

I believe our running game may have a break out game this week. All season long we have faced tough run defenses and stout defensive lines... Seattle, Arizona, NY Giants (supposedly), Minnesota, San Francisco, and Miami. The others teams not listed have not been too bad against the run either I believe. 

 

DWill had success last year against a Saints defense that IMO had more talent than the current Saints defense. Perhaps their recent success is due to the change up in bringing in Rob Ryan. Tolbert will continue to pound as he usually does for the yards needed for the 1st down. Cam will also torch them if they do not chose to leave a LB to spy him.

I love me some Tolbert but I don't want to see him as the featured back. Williams is still the best there with the ability to take it to the house any given play.

I think Stewart showed some good toughness against Tampa's physical rush defense. He was delivering some blows like we know he can do.

Looking forward to the three headed rushing attack getting back on track.

I want more play action passes. We have a dizzying amount of rushing options, possibly the most one team has had in NFL history, yet almost every fake handoff is a Cam run. We should be confusing defenses more.

 

I'd like to see Tolbert as a featured back with Jstew as relief. And for God's sake keep DeAngelo to outside runs and screens.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
