Don Shula Son Needs To Improve Our Screen Game

[beastson]

Watching other teams particularly the Packers, our screen game is lacking big time. The design, the execution needs to improve because teams will be sending blitzes to get after Cam

we run those weird misdirection screens pretty well (and cam is the archetypical quarterback to run them) but i'm really worried one is going to get snagged one of these days, probably at a very inopportune time.

I think it will always be hard for us to run screens.  The problem is other D-Lines really try to stay in front of Cam for his running ability.  Add in the "spy" or its equivalent that you often see against mobile QBs; this puts defense in a decent position to defend a screen.  This is also probably why we run these misdirection screens because Cam himself needs to clearly be moving the defense in the opposite direction of the play.

Redskins have been running nothing but screens against the Giants so far.

And btw i am not sure that the Packers are the team, that you want to be modelling your offense after with the way they've been performing in recent weeks.

I just pointed to their screen game. They literally came back against us by running screens

One thing we could do to immediately improve our screen game is to not throw them to Cotchery.  Cotchery is an awesome clutch possession receiver, but a guy to try to make something out of a screen pass he is not.

I'm legitimately surprised we haven't done more screens with Stewart. He was very, very good as a receiver in 2011 - had something around 40 catches and 400 yards. I meant, I know it's not a big part of the Shula plan, but still.

Seen Cam's stats vs the blitz lately?

I hope teams blitz us mercilessly.

...I don't think in the history of the Panthers have we ever run a textbook screen....the attempts always look really ***** ugly...

I still get nervous when Cam throw's those short balls.  Also because we're such a run heavy team the defense is usually in good position to defend against screens.
