Watching last night, I thought Barno played better against the run than Burns does. He didn't break pressures, but in hindsight, I would have rather moved on from him than the other two. We likely would only have had to give up Burns and the 2023 first to get to number 1

Adam Shefter on Pat McAfee show (From Monday)
BeenPounding replied to Jmac's topic in Carolina Panthers
Evero is the best HC candidate for us in my opinion. He has shown in two specific stops he can build a well run defense with a lack of talent or backups. He would be intelligent enough to bring in an offensive staff that will adjust the scheme to the personnel. That is our biggest failing. We need a draft centered GM. Our weakness stems from piss poor drafting after the 2nd round since before Gettleman was GM. I'd be looking at Brant Tilis (we interviewed him, Chiefs), MIke Borgonzi (Chiefs, we interviewed him) or Adam Peters (49'ers). The first two I mentioned would likely be in favor of having Evero as coach since they had played against his defenses and know him better than most. -
I agree 100%.... but here it where I differ slightly..... Rhule had no creditability. Once Wilks took over, he inserted an attitude for the team through accountability and leadership. Frank really hasn't proven to be that type of a leader. He has professional credentials that Rhule never had, but his age gap from the players is becoming evident. Players need to be inspired and feel like their leader can relate and is relevant to them. Mike McDaniels, DeMeco Ryanes, Mike Tomlin are perfect examples all in different forms. I would offer Frank a front office position at the end of the season. Truly, I believe Frank can offer value to the franchise. I just don't see it on the sideline on Sundays. His best fit may just be as a football advisor to Tepper. Frank cares about the franchise and may excell in that type of role. I would promote Evero to HC. Allow Brown to work for an entire year to build up his experience and create a true rapport with Bryce. Evero is a leader. He's intelligent, young, and a teacher. In my opinion, he is a cross between Tomlin and McDaniels. Heck Capers can call the plays with Evero's direction. As far as Fitt is concerned.... I dunno really what to say. The last few draft classes have been terrible, and he has depleted our assets without any return on his investments. He needs to go. Where that puts Dan Morgan is unclear I would roll with him, but invest in someone who knows the draft as an assistant GM.

Reich handing over playcalling to Brown
BeenPounding replied to UNCrules2187's topic in Carolina Panthers
Houston won't be able to prepare for our offense. The Colts are trash in an even trashier division. Titans, see Colts The Bears had better not beat us. Jesus Christ they better not. The Bucs aren't good. The Falcons aren't good. I'd argue we would have beat them if we played them last week. The Saints aren't good and look ready to fall apart. The Packers looked exposed last time out, not world beaters. I'm just throwing it out there -
Reich handing over playcalling to Brown
BeenPounding replied to UNCrules2187's topic in Carolina Panthers
What if we went 8 - 3 after the bye? But seriously, weirder things could happen: Houston- W Colts - W Bears - W Cowboys - L Titans - W Bucs - L Falcons - W Saints - W Packers -W Jags - L Bucs - W We go 3-3 in the Division. I'm not saying it's likely, but.... -
Well.... Honestly, if the Broncos want to move him they will end up having to sell him and a draft pick. No one is taking on a 13 million straight up guaranteed cap hit for a marginal player without getting something in return or at least having Denver eat some of that number. Old Russ's contract is going to fugg that team for a good while going forward. Better off trying to grab Hollywood Brown. At least we know he is fast.
-
Here's the thing.... If Reich is fired, we cannot hire a permanent until after the season. The only real options would be to promote either Evero or Brown. IF Evero saw this as an opportunity, and was basically promised the job (Violation of the Rooney Rule BTW) he would be the logical choice. What Frank lacks is fire and demanding leadership. Wilks would have these guys ready to run through a wall, and made sure his staff was adequately prepared. He then let his coordinators cook on their own. The issue with hiring an offensive guru as the HC is that he will want to focus on play calling and be derelict to the CEO aspect of a HC. Frankly, pun intended, I feel that is the case here. Frank is overwhelmed and cannot fully perform the functions of his job fully. The idea of collaboration is great in the business world, but even then, you need a leader to make decisions to achieve action items rather than just mire around in the brainstorming/sharing portion of the process. These players need to be led period. Frank's inability to acknowledge his way is not currently successful and refusal to adapt has resulted in players on the team not accepting his leadership on offense. Evero has that mentality to lead, you can see the influence of his military upbringing in how he carries himself and how he prepares himself and the defense. Cam need to come back and give the old pig and chicken speech to the offense.

How about we trade for a serviceable guard? I think protection is the issue.

Panthers Playbook intelligent discussion
BeenPounding replied to top dawg's topic in Carolina Panthers
Him mismanaging the clock is a perfect example of why most HC's do not call the plays. He doesn't have the bird's eye view from the box, he is thinking about other aspects of the game as the HC, and his sole focus is not on making adjustments with the rest of the staff since he is not with them upstairs. Andy Reid, Shanahan, and Sean McVay are the outliers when a HC calling plays works. If his approach is truly collaborative maybe he can let Brown call the plays and override when he feels necessary. -
Panthers Playbook intelligent discussion
BeenPounding replied to top dawg's topic in Carolina Panthers
I thought the past two games Chinn played very well. Because of injuries he is a true nickel CB. If someone else rises up, hopefully he can play closer to the LOS. -
Which " NFL Team" would you want your next GM groomed from?!
BeenPounding replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
We have him on staff. Dan Morgan from the Bills. Honestly, our issue is that the GM and HC are not in full lockstep. We need a package deal so both the GM and HC know what they are really looking for in a player. -
All I know is if I were the HC, I'd be watching the run plays where Seattle used the TE's in the backfield. That is a more modern concept in the run game that Frank is lacking. He is relying on our line which has a rookie and a series of cast offs at guard to road grade and have the HB slip in a hole on either the A or B gap 90% of the time he is running the ball. If you are going to keep Thomas, Gio, and Tremble active on gamedays you need to use them. Shoot, they aren't catching the ball. Heck I don't think Ian Thomas remembers how to do that, at least put them in position to make effective blocks. Everyone is all hyped about passing the ball, but look at SF, Mia, Cleveland, and Buffalo. All of those teams are running the ball effectively. If you called up Tarik or kept Blacksheer active on game days the Panthers could have a very good backfield by committee with Sanders, Chuba, and Black/Choen. Chuba was out carried by Viska, but Chuba also had more receiving targets than Viska too! Frank needs to stop playing F*ck it and Chuck it. Obviously the current strength of our team is not in the WR corps. Run the freaking ball with creativity to open up the passing game. Get out of the spread and work in play-action along with the RPO. He needs to be the HC and not the OC. It is too much for one person to handle effectively in the modern NFL. Let Brown call the shots and provide feedback and direction like a true head coach should do. This team is running the gauntlet with injuries, but is better than the product they are putting out on the field. If they are able to establish the run against the Vikings they can beat them. The Vikings defense gave up well over 100 yds to the Cardinals running and were absolutely gashed by the Eagles. If we establish the run, we keep the Viking offense off of the field. Plain and simple. Who's going to cover Jefferson and Hockensen? That is the only hope for a W.

If Tom Brady is considered the "master of the QB sneak" I don't see any reason Bryce can't do the same. Heck look who is in 2nd place, the QB who Bryce is most often compared to. https://operations.nfl.com/gameday/analytics/stats-articles/tom-brady-master-of-the-qb-sneak/

I remember last year KC started out looking like trash and cleaned it up. At the risk of placing my foot in my mouth, I don't see them rallying this year. Andy Reid is going to have to provide some serious smoke and mirrors.
-
That's because the Colts and Texans are playing each other. Wait until we play both those teams. Then you can fully state who was the better pick. I think AR15 is going to have a few good years, maybe even special, but Bryce may be the better long term option.

I wouldn't be against getting HR for a conditional 7th rounder, however, with AT19 on the team his role on the team would be as a back up or show that signing AT19 was a mistake, which I feel it wasn't if AT19 is used properly. I think the big challenge for the panthers is to develop Ihmir Smith-Marsette into something usable on offense. The dude ran a 4.42 40 yard dash. That shows he has enough speed to take the top off a defense, or at least take one defender out of the equation. I think once he is fully up to speed on the playbook you will see him as a larger part of the game plan. If, by mid season, we have Chark on one side, Mingo on the other, AT19 in the slot and using Marsette as our other speed guy in 4 or 5 wide sets, our offense will look much better. TMJ is built to be a bog over the middle/goal line/sideline catch guy. He isn't going to be a deep threat. Unless he gets in better shape and learns a more defined route tree he isn't a game changer.

This really JC Horn's burner Twitter account though?
BeenPounding replied to PantherFanInPhilly's topic in Carolina Panthers
At least he's not employing the same social media strategy as Kai Jones. -
We still have one extra roster spot, I see someone getting elevated and Corral being offered a practice squad spot. If her doesn't take it, his NFL career is essentially over. No one is claiming him on waivers after week one.... I could see him trying to latch on Arizona's practice squad and his career will be over by the end of the season.

You need to add Hurst to that equation..... From what I saw of Mingo in the pre-season, I'm pretty confident for him to go 6 catches for 70-80 yards. He'll likely do more damage over the middle where Atlanta is weak. If Terell will be on one of the X or Y receivers we still have access to the other side of the field and the middle. If you have a solid TE (Hurst), well above average RB (Sanders), and a mid/dependable WR on the other side covered by a collection of JAG's, I'm not too worried about our offense. Our line needs to hold Grady Jarret in check. I am not scared of a 38 year old DE, a nobody DE, and the ghost of Bud Dupree. Their coverage at CB and nickel outside of Terell is trash. Jessie Bates is a very good safety, but I don't see his as a game changer without other working parts around him. Our biggest concern should be; can we stop the run enough so Atlanta doesn't have total control of the clock. If we can avoid 3rd and short or large chunk runs at inopportune times, we should be good. If we can keep the TOP even(ish) and score at least 21 pts I see us coming up with a W.

This team is coached at a level that surpasses the three other teams in our division. Bryce is more polished than Ritter. Even without Burns, our defense is, at worst, even. We have better pass coverage and better linebackers. If TMJ or Chark play, we have an advantage in the receiving game. Offensive line play is at worst a slight advantage to Atlanta. I imagine this being a close game, but anything outside of a win would be a legitimate disappointment.
