We Need To Add A Short Passing Attack to Our Offense

[fieryprophet]

The blueprint to attack our offense is out, and it revolves around our philosophy of attacking downfield. It's beautiful when it works but like everything in the NFL it has a weakness, such as a being prone to stalled drives and pass rushes.

This game is entirely different if we can switch to a short passing offense when necessary but our personnel is not currently suited to it as it revolves around physicality not precision.

This means Cam needs to refine his short accuracy, Philly Brown needs to be used more, and even Bersin. Kelvin and Funchess need to work on their routes so they can be trusted to get open without space.

If we add this element to our offense we can punish teams who otherwise can take away our big plays, but it needs to be a focus going forward.

How true!

I get jealous when I see Bill Belicheck create gameplans SPECIFICALLY for a certain team, while we just go out there with the same damn gameplan every week regardless of opponent.

OR

 

we could act like there is still a football game to play when it's just the start of the 2nd quarter.

We need to add an OC to this offense.

Are you trying to give shula brain cancer.. he can only do so much ya know!

Every time we throw short passes they pop 10 feet up in the air and adds risk for an easy turn over. Theres not a route runner with smooth hands to catch those short passes and turns upfield for yards. 

 

Steve Smith did that well tho......

Yup panthers have folded like cheap lawn chairs in the 2nd half in 3 games now.. even vs SF they was making a comeback.

[Lemory]

I dont know, I like relying on the tackles to hold their blocks for 5 seconds while everyone runs downfield. 

[Fox007]

Wait are Shula defenders now seeing the problem?

A quick short passing game relies on having WR's with reliable hands, which we do not have.

More than that, receivers who can run precise routes and Cam has to be more consistent with his footwork and ball location. This is why we don't call these kinds of plays, we haven't developed the necessary timing yet. But we have to, teams will continue to run this gameplan against us. Not all of them have the personnel to stop our big plays but those that do will be at a decided advantage.

this.

people seem to forget that the offense has been tailored (and personnel selected) to cater to newton's strengths.

newton struggles with short passes.
