Shutting down the new Panthers "evolved" offense in two easy steps!

[Jeremy Igo]

Want to shut down the super sexay "evolved" offense of the Carolina Panthers? Look no further! 

 

 

Step one - Take away Christian McCaffrey

McCaffrey is the life blood of the new Panthers offense. The player that is involved in 80% of what they now want to do. So, take him out of the equation. When you do that, you are left with the Carolina Panthers offense of 2016. And we all know what to do then, right? Sure we do! 

 

Step Two - Get to Cam Newton

For step two you will need to refer to what every defense in 2016 did against the Panthers. Namely, blitz, blitz, then blitz some more. Sure, Newton will complete some nice passes early in games, but the injuries he accrues throughout will keep him from performing later and maybe even shorten his career! 

 

Bonus Tip: When you constantly hit a quarterback that is recovering from shoulder surgery, it makes his accuracy worse! So much worse! 

 

 

For instance, the Buffalo Bills twisted his ankle on Sunday. Then, when Cam Newton had McCaffrey open in the end zone on the last offensive play, Newton had to throw off the very same ankle the Bills turned into a pretzel. Holy hovering overthrow! 

 

 

The best part of all this? Some Panthers fans will actually blame Cam Newton for the punishment his body takes and the throws that result!

Sad but true, and obvious to everyone but a large number of Panthers fan.

Get them man children worked up! Clicks for days!!

Step Three: Have a secret agent on the other team as the offensive coordinator who continuously runs McCaffrey up the middle, exposing McCaffrey's weakness and the opposing team's greatest strength.

What ticks me off so much is how this staff underutilizes Samuel.

Curtis Samuel is our deep threat and game -changer. This staff doesn't seem to want to use him at all.

Come on, I'm calling bullshit. I love Cam as much as anybody but he's paid 20 million a year to make those plays, we should expect better. Yea, he's gotten the holy hell knocked out of him in many games before, but as long as he's suited up on that field he should be expected to make those throws and held accountable when he doesn't. 

[JJman Returns]

And fug Shula btw, an doorknob could predict what his next playcall will be.

And there it is!

Again, if we had a competent OC, Cam's mistakes would not seem like a big deal. We should've been up 28-0.

I thought you were going to say step one, find Shula's crayons, then step 2, hide Shula's crayons.

Cam's good/not great but he's not helped that every bad throw is overanalyzed because any scoring opportunity is life or death with this offense. 

BTW can someone make a gif of McCaffrey's wildcat play so we can just use it in response to any Shula apologist?

[Asurfaholic]

I dunno. There's a lot wrong with being 1st and goal at the 1 and not able to punch it in. Its possible we we just played underrated defensive team. 

Wide open misses happen. 4 plays to go 1 yard shouldn't be an issue for this run first team.

but whatever 2-0 feels good, gonna enjoy being top ranked but no respect from the media. That feels familiar......

[Cuttinedge]

You would think a competent OC would game plan for these blitzes. Since everyone knows this is what's coming. He shoulda figured this out after the super bowl loss 

 

The reason all teams don't employ the blitzfest strategy against others, they know a real OC will exploit it and make them pay.

Shula hasn't had a solution for it since Denver showed the game plan in SB

@MurkN can probably hook us up with that.
