Tampa Bay putting together a scary good offense

[MechaZain]

In one offseason Tampa gave Jameis comparable if not better help than Cam's gotten in his whole career here and that's sad even if we sweep next year.

Good, they will need it going against this Defense. 

With that really good middle linebacker we've got?

On topic: It's a harsh reality of football that opposing teams get better in the offseason. Happens every year, so I've learned not to fret about it.

We get better too. The question is who'll do it the best. The answer will be one team, same as last year. Maybe us. We'll see.

Who the heck cares about crab legs?  Or Cam's laptop days.  I don't understand why people are yapping about that type of stuff a few years into their pro careers.  The only thing that concerns me about Jameis (or makes me happy since I am a Panther fan), is his turnovers.  He has a lot of them.  18 int's and 6 lost fumbles last year.  8 in his last 3 games when they were trying to make a playoff run.  We have proven we can win with Cam at qb.  Jameis has not proven anything yet.  And fwiw, I hope he never does.

You mean try to get better.  Whether they actually do or not is anyone's guess.

I agree, that things are looking good in tampa.  But as we know, the Super Bowl isn't won in the spring.

There's a long time, and lots of things that can happen between now and the season and the end of the season.  Tampa fans should be excited and happy.  All fans should, this is the time of the year to be super hopeful about next season.  If you're not, I feel bad for you.

Conversely, as @Mr. Scot said, everyone's trying to get better.  It's easy to have a knee jerk reaction right now, but every team is working to get better.

We need another corner to help solidify the back. Give me Quincy Wilson 

In the lower round but we need to go TE / S / WR

Seeing how quickly TB has surrounded Crab Legs with elite weapons by year 3 makes you appreciate how much Cam has carried the offense.

I would have felt 1000% better if wee traded back in to get David Njoku.

Yeah but Winston was picked #1 in the draft. You can't let that guy fail! 

[pepaw]

They got a top 10 talent. Hard to deny their org is on the upswing.  Let's not be dismissive tw@ts like they are over at Saints Report and show some intelligence. 

[Snake]

Yea unfortunately all our rivals had a good first round as well. Tampa will contend this year on talent alone.

Panthers will need to go 2 TE and control the tempo of the game

We need to grab a true "Y" TE in the 2nd round

 

 

It should go without saying, the best way to control the game's tempo is pounding the rock. TOP and an equally dangerous defense will slow down any offense.

2 TE set allows you to run "traditional" run game

- In typical 2 TE set you are in a spread alignment with TE on each side, this allows you to run either outside or inside zone run play based on the DE alignment.

- Next it allows you to take one of the TE and put him in the I-Formation as FB,  this gives the offense a hard I-Running game wether it's ISO or Power.

 

 

- The real benfit of having a complete TE like Greg Olsen & OJ Howard is the ability to go to 3 WR set  by flexing either TE on weak or strong  side based on defense. By spreading the defense you can run with either lighter box or attack the mismatch defender on the TE. 

-Whether seeing the # count  is ideal for running play or audibling  to a 3 or 4 wide  aligment that forces defenses into nickel perssonel or passive the versatility of the 2 TE set will allow the offense to be put in the most ideal formation while still allowng it to set physical tone  and control the tempo of the game.

I was not at all happy when Howard fell to them. He is a perfect fit for their Winston and their offense.

Saints also made out like bandits getting Lattimore at 11. Very happy the 49ers jumped them to get Foster.

[GoobyPls]

Even if Winston under performs they will still be hard to stop

 

People do not understand how much impact  Jackson has. Kirk Cousins is not that good, Jackson made him look good.

[LinvilleGorge]

And they just took Godwin in the 3rd.
