Take the reigns off Cam for this game.....our true weapon

I know Cam has been giving much more freedom to take off and scramble, but perhaps even more so for this game. With the loud ass dome it will be difficult to hear and I'm sure Ryan will be trying to disguise his defenses and force bad decisions. Truth be known,Cam and Tolbert are now the two most effective runners we have at this point....Deangelo has been on and off and Stewart just isn't back yet...let alone the fact that our Oline cannot open any holes on a consistent basis. So let's run our screens, options, and dump-offs to loosen up that Line,and use Tolbert to slam them and Cam to take all the yards that they will give him. Cam seems to be much better passing when he uses his running ability to set up the pass. We need a dominant running game no matter who does the running....just beat them down then bury them. We cannot get in a shoot out with Brees, that's not a game plan we can win. But do what the Jets did to them.....run over them until they will fold.

Definitely let Cam be Cam, but he should not have to shoulder the entire offense this game.

 

Well, that's pretty much where we're at.  Teams are just about completely shutting down our running game lately.  The only real running game we have is Cam's scrambling.  If the trend continues, he'll probably be our leading rusher again this year.  He's only about 160 yards behind DeAngelo right now.  Week 6 was the last time DeAngelo ran for over 50 yards in a game, meanwhile Cam has ran for over 50 yards a game in each of the last 3 games.

Cam needs to manage the game as any QB would but should take advantage of any space on the field or hole that opens up to gain 5 to 10 yards where he can slide without contact...........that will keep the chains moving the time moving and drive their defense nuts..........

 

We don't need him to perform miracle runs.......just keep the offense on the field......

Our receivers need to help him out

 

Ginn I am looking at you, catch the deep balls because everything they are thrown in your direction, they hit your hands yet they bounce on the ground

 

Smith and Lafell get open Cam will find you

 

Olsen, you are the rock, keep doing what your doing

We're winning, let's just keep rolling with what is working.

 

Like normal, I expect Cam to let the defense control the game and have the offense play very conservative, protecting the football and avoiding costly mistakes, only gambling on big plays when the opportunity arises. 

 

The trick here is keeping New Orleans off the field. IMO.

 

I don't mind running Cam if it is to pick up 3rd or 4th downs... I'm all for that. Just letting him loose and getting away from what has resulted in eight straight victories, doesn't seem all that wise.

It's time to get vertical like 2011. Open up a can of whoop ass. The only thing the Saints can hope to do is to tire our defense. But if we can score a couple of quick touchdowns we can then revert back to our eat the clock methodical offense. I don't mean conservative I mean ball control + Riverboat Ron. I expect our defense to be very stout for at least the first half of this game, and if our offense can control the game then they will be stout for 4 qtrs.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
