Was Mike Shula on the sideline calling the 2-pt conversion attempt, repeating the "fade" call while the players kept telling him over and over and over to call the "belly" play. :lol:

I couldn't tell in the end... did the players take the field with the "fade" call and change it to the "belly" play (to Tolbert) on their own? I thought thats what happened.

What I thought was pretty interesting were the verbiage in the play call. I was like wow, they have to repeat all that just for one play lol

 

I thought the same thing too.  This year on Hard Knocks they showed some of the players during the exhibition games either getting plays mixed up and not knowing how to even line up.  It was funny watching them scramble and having other team mates helping them try to line up correctly during the game.  Kinda gives understanding to why they have to "study the playbook".

They ended up calling ISO , and collinswhorth was like. " looks like their going to run it"

I believe they ran the belly which is a fullback run with an option for the fake. Iso would call for the fullback to block for the halfback.

Shula gave them the option to run the fade or iso. It was the QBs decision. People love taking shots at shula but he was much better at playcalling IMO than the Colts team. I thought our team was vanilla but wow the colts are way worse. It was also interresting to see Foles struggle with the colts jargon and cam whisper in the huddle.

I'm pretty sure a player said "The guys want the belly play." Before they cut the audio.

 

This is what I heard, I actually liked the interaction with Shula - he didn't seem to have any ego involved in what play was run and that's rare.. OC's are usually divas and think they know better than anyone else.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
