a source i am close to who is sorta close to the team gave me some insight on why mccaffrey and samuel were a perfect combination and heavily targeted as a combo

[PhillyB]

great christ am i drunk. a bunch of tens were buying me shots at burke st. and foothills but i turned them down to write this  post for you because of all the pointy elbows. my dude who knows a big dude who told me about captain munnerlyn well before anyone else picked it up told me about shula's plan to revolutionize the offense. here it is.

...basically it's obvious as fug. everyone here has called it philosophically: we're getting faster. that's clear. but shula, who's low key riding a hot seat with rivera (gettleman is ice cold and will happily hand select his own staff if rivera doesn't cut it) has demonstrated a desire to evolve much the way he did going into the 2015 season. ted ginn was a dinosaur and his speed was about to start seeping away, rendering him useless. KB is a chronic sandbagger and funchess has a branden lafell-esque ceiling, let's be honest. the latter two are about as fast as my grandma and she's dead.

shula recognized that seven-step drops for lumbering wide receivers are getting us in trouble, so he and gettleman put heads together and decided a proper scatback and a true deep threat wide receiver were the answer. why? because this:

in this extra shitty picture note that the presence of KB and funchess in a single wing scares no one, not even the atrocious saints secondary circa 2016. this is because the free safety can rove and cover back quarters and the strong safety is fast enough to drop back if the play is diagnosed as pass and cover his section of the field. this is ultimately because KB and funchess aren't fast enough to demand two high safeties.

adding samuel changes this. mccaffrey changes it even more. suddenly that strong safety has to move back to a normal position, two high, to respect the threat. envision if you will this play:

no defensive assignments shown but you don't need them to see that safeties are pooping their pants. FS has to play high to account for samuel in the slot or outside. olsen demands the string safety. KB ad funch see consistent single coverage due to the inability of safeties to bracket.

and then there's mccaffrey. safeties can't cover him physically, and if they tried they'd break their ankles. carolina picking him opens up massive lanes in the backfield and flats if mccaffrey is being moved around properly.

short version: mike shula is gaining a smudge of credibility. let's just see if he can pull it off.

 ok here is a summary for everyone ...

philly bs drunk and a dude that knows a big dude told him about Captain Munneryln and also said that Shula was planning on evolving the offense into one that was fast.so McCaffery & Samuels will make safties poop their britches

bunch of dumb asses on burke street last night

 

[Ivan The Awesome]

Holy long thread titles batman. 

 

Good poo as always. So Shula is under the hot seat? Rivera might have signed his ticket out of here if this doesn't work.

I think I'm getting to old to go to Burke St nowadays...when you start turning into Archie Bunker over the fact you can't find a parking spot...its time to drink at home. 

[csx]

I went much more when it was Black Bear. That's the same place right? My hometown but I'm not there too often and not going out to bars much when I am.

I've been in Asia for almost 6 months. There isn't much pizza and when there is it's relatively expensive and comes as a whole pizza...no sliced. Burke st slice ain't the worst thing in the world.

I think @PhillyB made the right call.. Pointy elbows are a deal breaker
