Can the Panthers run on New Orleans?

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.

 

playaction works when your RBs establish the run.....our QB and FB have been our rush attack of late.

 

Williams or Stewart need to do more to see playaction be increased and really work.  If teams aren't worried about the run....it is just a delayed pass.

Haha, aren't we usually in 3rd and long situations on the first drive of the game after DWill's first two carries?? Every team expects us to come out running on the first series to get Cam warmed up to the defensive looks. 

 

Our run game is so weak.....it shows in the first series of every game.  Cam has to try to open it up for them.  In our 8 game win streak we have never opened up with 2 rush attempts.  Cam has not passed to open up a game in our win streak only twice.....

Yeah, we used to do it all the time under Chud and that other OC who shall not be named. We just need to find the right formula to start quicker. We seem to have too many 3 and outs during our first drive, even during the win streak. I loved that RR has began to defer to the 2nd half after winning the coin toss. That way we are guaranteed possession at the beginning of the 2nd half despite how the 1st goes offensively.

I think we can run on them... having said that though, the O line has to open some holes, which they haven't been that good at...

 

DWill needs a few steps for something to develop and JStew has seemed like he's really, really rusty so far.

 

If Tolbert moves the ball, keep handing it to him.  Design some plays for Cam too...  

 

 

We have to keep the offense on the field as much as possible and the D line MUST bust Brees in the mouth from the start.

D-Will should be fresh after missing the last two games.  He had one of the best games of his career against the Saints last year.  Obviously their defense is better this year, but I still think Deangelo cracks 100 yards in this game.  Pound the rock, control the clock, keep Brees off the field.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
