Before your heads explode to this idea due to the fact our current WR corps is subpar compared to a lot of teams........just a question. Instead of pulling that "wildcat" crap again which is to me a wasted down why not try different approach. It seems that this McNutt character is a talented player with good hands and size,Hixon is a good route runner and Ginn has the wheels,along with Lafell who is playing better ( need more consistency) why not try this on a play or two. Cam tends to throw a high ball so ths may be an advantage for him.I guess he has been getting reps with the second team and he should know the play book a bit.Hopefully we can grab a lead and try something not expected, throw them a curve ball....something we never do.A four wide set and see what they can do with it.

Hey, I'm willing to try different things somtimes. 

 

But why not try McNutt, with Olsen, and the two biggest other receivers, if height is your concern?

 

Of course, you can always try your way for diversity (4 wide receivers). However, if you're doing that, why not just put in the 4 best guys (including Hixon), unless you just want to be purely experimental  in a tough game in Atlanta with the division crown riding on it, with this McNutt character????

The coaches' insistence on running a basic Wildcat is really baffling to me when there is so much crap you try from it... and don't say it's a Shula thing because Chud never tried anything either. We've been setting up that fake wildcat for three years now and all we've gotten is one screen pass to Cam (2011) and a fake wildcat to Smitty (last week). We need to try and innovate with that set... get Cam out wide, bring him back in, and then set up some Cam-Ginn-Dwil double reverse or something. I mean, you're not going to see DeAngelo throwing the ball so why act like it's going to happen?

 

As for the set, I have no problem with it but the problem is we either lose Olsen or D-Wil/Tolbert in a four-wide set. I very highly doubt it's worth taking them out to give McNutt or King a shot IMO unless it's the last play before half or something.

I'm not saying this is something to do on a regular basis by any means......but instead of flushing a play down the toilet with that horrible "wildcat" crap thst never works,try something else....can't be any worse then that.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
