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.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
