Philly Brown in Singleback

Can someone explain the handful of plays we ran last night with Philly lined up in the backfield behind Cam? 

It looks like they are going to maybe reverse, but then he just kind of settles in a few seconds before the snap. I understand faking, or running, a reverse with the correct timing, but don't understand how we're running it. I don't think I've ever seen him get the ball from this position, and he doesn't really seem to have a roll in the play, even to effectively block. 

Anyone?

if a defense is really stacked up at the line and they are thinking of doing a zone read.....bringing in Philly gives Newton an outlet and makes the defender assigned to Cam now have two jobs. 

So if the Stewart lane is clogged off the snap it gives Cam more wiggle room on his keeper.  Means his defender has to not just worry about his run but a pitch.  Slow D on the zone read play and gives him an option.

 

at least that is why I think they do it.

I think you're talking about basically this play. Shula has been using since he became OC. The idea is to get the linebackers to think you're running an option one way then send the RB with the ball the opposite way. Though I don't recall us really ever actually doing the option.

We have run the option out of this look, i have no idea where to find it, but the first season we had Ginn we did, fake the hand-off and run the pitch on the back-side, I wanna say vs the Saints.

Yeah, I'm sure we have a couple times, but mostly it's the counter to the RB every time.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
