I wish we could take Oakland's offensive line for ours.  That would be splendid.  It's crazy what signing high profile free agent Offensive Lineman, drafting O-Lineman can do for your line.  It's crazy isn't it?

Their biggest win so far is Denver 30-20.  Not sure about our health but if we can get Addison, Kahil and Johnson back I think we have a shot.

Honestly we really haven't done that this year and it's been to both Cam's and our detriment. He's been extremely hesitant to use his mobility of his own volition and it has hurt us as well.

 

Getting him involved in the run game the past few weeks has been a crucial part of our success.

 

We just aren't a good short yardage team without him being a threat to run.

What I'm saying is that you can't win games with your qb as your best rusher. Look at the packers last night. You need a legitimate run game and what Cam can do on the ground can compliment that. I can understand around the goal line, but I'm tired of seeing qb power runs when we don't know what else to call.

That's cool... but our chances dwindle when he doesn't. Shula is too incompetent and our OL is too weak. 

Look I'm not disagreeing with the fact we need Cam to run to have a chance. What I'm saying is that we have to put the players and system around him so that we don't have to depend on him in the run game.

We forgot we will be without Luke too. Maybe Addison & Leonard Johnson as well

Go ahead and admit defeat then.

I agree with this.

But, Cam needs to be more willing to run. He's a really good pocket passing QB when he's on. But he's the best running QB when things break down. Not sure why he's decided not to run anymore, or much less than before.

I'm just hoping they all come back from Mexico City with Montezuma's Revenge.

Then get Dave Gettlemen to give his coaching staff that option by giving them an OL that can run block.  Remove Cam and we would be then worse rushing team in the NFL this year. 

Also, this year specifically running Cam limits the number of plays he sits behind a bad OL while guys tee off on his head.

I don't disagree with the thought.  But given what we got we really have to run Cam to have a chance

You hear that?  The Gettlemen defenders.  They coming.

oh and i just forgot ... aldon smith might be reinstated in time to play us.

Our O-line against Khalil Mack and Smith?!?!?

Aldon smith probably has not practiced in like over a year, expect him to be inactive if he does get reinstated.

Cam has a reply to this.

"I would prefer to be involved in the (running) game, as Panthers, that's our edge," Newton said on Wednesday. "It's certain things as I look at quarterbacks around the league and say, 'Dang, I wish I could do that.' ... But my edge is running the football inside the tackle and when somebody tries to take that away from me for what it is, that's who I am. That's me. That's going to forever be my edge in the league.

"I'm trying to find any and every way to create edges for us. Whether that's me running around, me carrying out a fake or that's me blocking, I'm just trying to win football games."

I'll take "execution," regardless who lines up. 

That will always give us a chance.
