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.

      The running back situation....

      I see them using Brooks in the passing game a good bit even early.

      The running back situation....

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      If Brooks is fully healed,and they think he is, then we should be better.  We upgraded center and Hunt will be back.   At RB, Rico will turn 28 next month. Hubbard turns 27 next month.  Brooks turns 23 in July.  If Brooks pans out, he was a better college RB than either Rico or Chuba. He has not been taking a beating for 2 years--so if the knee holds, we could have something.   This is what it says about RB: Career Average: Running backs have the shortest average careers in the NFL, lasting just 2.57 years on average. The Peak: Most running backs reach their absolute peak performance around age 25 or 26, with nearly all peak seasons occurring before age 29. The "Age 28-29" Cliff: Statistical data shows a notable 15% to 25% drop in per-game fantasy and offensive production as backs transition from their age-28 to age-29 seasons. Very few running backs sustain elite production past age 30.

      I’ll give him that. I love his belief in the trenches being where games are decided. Because that is also my belief.  And he is not fooling around he jumps all over a goal. Fix the OL. Well it cost but he fixed it.  And fixed it again this year while still getting pieces for the defense.  He has made a couple of mistakes but just keeps swinging after a miss until he gets something done.
