With our offense switching to 12 personnel...

Would it make sense drafting Kelvin Benjamin and playing him as a tweener?  Our offense will be deadly... Most of the time he will draw coverage's by LBs and Safeties and both are mismatch. 

 

Chud ran 12 personnel with Olsen and Shockey.  Our basic formation this year will be:

 

WR1-TE-LT-LG-C-RG-RT-TE-WR2

--------------------QB

--------------------RB

 

Another option is to get a speedy WR in 1st and Troy Niklas in 2nd.

 

12 Personnel offense can also help a lot with bad LT and RT (our current issue).  

 

12 Personnel does not require to have a #1 WR because TE's will likely have more catches.

I get the feeling Gettleman will turnover every stone to find talent..  The obvious downside will be in blocking but if he can find a guy who can get separation in the passing game I think it should be welcomed with an open mind.

Saying we're switching anything is a massive assumption. Dickson could flat out be a back-up with 0 two TE sets.

 

Why assumption when Shula said we're switching?

 

PS: Dickson is a back-up... he sucked in Baltimore for the past 2 years and failed when he got a chance to shine.

I'll tell Shula when we're switching or not.

 

 

 

Panthers OC Mike Shula plans to use more "12 personnel" formations this season, with two tight ends and one running back.

It's one way to help mask Carolina's wide receiver deficiency, as the "12" package only utilizes two wideouts. The Panthers signed Ed Dickson to complement Greg Olsen in the short term, but Dickson is a flawed player. We would not be surprised if Carolina targeted tight ends over wide receivers early in May's draft. Notre Dame TE Troy Niklas could be on their radar at No. 60 overall.

Am I the only person scared of Benjamin in the 1st? He's got potential obviously, but I don't think he shows it next year. We need a player in the 1st who is coming in ready to perform. 

 

 

We still need a burner as our #1 WR

 

Speedy #1 will require double coverage with Safety over the top.  This means LB will have to cover TE... a mismatch and likely 1st down.

 

If they play nickle defense then you just pound the ball down the middle with Tolbert.  190lbs nickle trying to tackle 260lbs running back is still a mismatch.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
