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.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
