This is your basic power play from the Panthers. Notice the block from the pulling left guard Andrew Norwell, as well as the one from right tackle Mike Remmers, who both get their men on the ground. This is Carolina’s favorite "gap scheme" run, and you’ll often see it with running back Jonathan Stewart, but he’s not the only one toting the ball on the power play.

the meat and potatoes of the article right here...

“They’re the most diverse and multidimensional running game in the NFL,” Cosell said, “and it isn’t even close.”

This is an offense that wants to grind it out on the ground, and they attack you in a number of different ways. Whereas some teams, like the Eagles, may run two or three different concepts in a game, the Panthers may run seven or eight. That’s not the only reason for their success. There are lots of teams that aren’t as effective that run systems like that, but it means that there is a lot to prepare for when this team lines up.

tried, failed...sorry

Just copy and paste.

"The beauty of the Panthers' run game is that there are so many layers to it. The main reason for those layers is the natural ability of quarterback Cam Newton, who is playing probably the best that I have ever seen him in the NFL. Are there still missed throws from time to time that likely drive some of the coaches nuts? Absolutely. But Newton has looked more comfortable, more confident and more in control of that offense than ever before without a big-time threat on the outside). Newton's arm talent and athleticism make this offense go."

    • Same... With the personnel the Niners had, that defense could have been historically good in the right hands. Under Wilks they were certainly good, they didn't quite rise to that level. Honestly, I see Wilks kinda like I see Rivera: fantastic person, decent head coach. Skill wise, phenomenal DB coach, so-so DC. His greatest strength is his leadership. Hard to find many better in that department. In the Xs and Os / execution area though, not as good. Bottom Line: Wilks is the sort of coach that needs a staff that excels in those aspects of the game where he's weaker. But, like Rivera, I don't know that he scouts assistants very well. That as much as anything might be why he's not in the NFL now.
    • Clearly the best outcome for us is a Giants W. A spot or two difference in the 4th round is inconsequential. Just look at the trade value charts. A spot or two at the top of the 1st means a LOT. A spot or two in the mid-rounds? Virtually nothing.
    • Agree. I don't think I have ever heard him say anything positive, at any time, about the Panthers. Best expectation is no mention at all.
