Sideline Passes/Lack of Check down


Rubi

Recommended Posts

Something I've always noticed with Shula is that he calls for a lot of out patterns towards the sidelines. His favorites being the 15 and 20 yard outs....when we only need 6-7 yards for a first down.

This type of pass leaves Cam very little margin for error. It takes almost a perfect pass to complete and gives the receiver no room to make any type of YAC. The windows are so small to fit the ball into. And most of the time it sails on Cam.

I feel like Cam's best passes come when we attack the seams. There's a lot more space and bigger windows to work with.

Another thing that drives me nuts is we never have plays with a built in check down to a RB. There's no safety valve to bail the offense out in case the vertical routes are covered. This is basic stuff that Shula/Rivera can't figure out.

Serious coaching staff decisions need to be made at seasons end

as far as the preference towards out routes, remember what his offensive philosophy is. The Panthers need to run the ball, and only pass when it's been set up by the run. Passes are dangerous. Throws to the sideline minimize danger. Throws over the middle tend to be easier to intercept.

 

that's the way the man thinks. Like he's his dad. In the 1970s.

Don evolved his offense a poo ton once he got Marino though.

 

He needs to smack Mike's poo at the Thanksgiving table.

The thing is his philosophy sucks.

    • He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc. 
    • The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position. 
    • Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
