Film Room: Christian McCaffrey’s versatility in the Panthers' scheme

 

 

Mr. Gold loves CMC and we both agreed on similar things when it comes to CMC.  He should line up more often as a slot WR option. He is assisted with better OL play and majority of his runs are with motion going on in the formation. CMC also has incredible vision and has improved his blocking since last year.  Also CMC is not the kind of back that will break tackles consistently but can juke you in open space down field. Love this breakdown. Enjoy

 

"For this breakdown, I tracked all of his carries so far on season by alignment, formation, motions, and play design. Hope you enjoy! "

thanks for posting

I was watching his Bengals highlights the other day after a few IPAs. His patience and vision seems to have improved a lot from last year. It's beautiful to watch.

I hope they continue this since he can be a major factor for years

Yeah, he's a real damn nightmare for defenses now after that Bengals game. I imagine coordinators replaying him running over Nickerson in their heads wondering "wtf do we do now?". Still, his single most effective play is that simple texas route where he runs outside then cuts back inside, making a linebacker trip over his own nut sack in the process. I feel if we run that play 100 times a game, it'll work 99 times until the defense sells out to stop it.

The one RB that I see use patience the best is Bell...and CMC is starting to take his time on plays and letting them develop...last year I think he was ready to burst through the line ASAP and not let plays develop...he's got the patience down now and its paying off big time.  Ready for the Giants this week!

  I see at as 100% opposite. Last year, he danced sideways. Sometimes because he had no choice. Now he always cuts while moving forward. That’s his biggest strength. Cutting while at top speed. Not stopping and starting. 

  As Jeremy stated in preseason/TC, the major difference in CMC from last year was him running downhill. He not trying to elude people side to side. Just small cuts where he doesn’t lose power through the hole. That’s why he’s running through tackles this year. No hesitation.

Honestly I saw a little bit of both. I think it was part of because of the O-line and some because he was getting use to the speed of the NFL, trying to find his rhythm.

Lining him up in the backfield makes the offense harder to defend.  That's why he is being used there.

CMC may look better in the slot, but the offense would suffer...IMO.

This is just more backhanded compliments by Kaseklosed because he hates CMC as a RB. same as his other bad thread about CMC

That certainly was a factor. He could “dance” around PAC 12 guys and make some amazing runs. Just too much speed now and he has made an impressive adjustment.

      My one and only mock draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Morgan has been advertising a trade on Ebay and Marketplace on FB.  That tells me they are not sold on Walker.  I think you are right--Emmanwori is their target, but after Morgan's rookie year as a GM and XL blabbing what he was told (I would assume that this is one of the reasons you never tell a prospect you will draft him) I am assuming that embarrassed Morgan to some degree--and it may have hurt his credibility.  Remember, he has to negotiate with players, agents, and GMs--so I am guessing that this year, he will be keeping it close to the vest.  I do not understand the Panthers skipping a pro day and then drafting a player when it was right down I 85.  It don't smell none to good.  I think it makes more sense that they have discounted both players.  About the Walker rumor--they have looked at him twice, I believe.  Fuel for the fire. His dad coached at Catawba as an assistant, Coastal Carolina, and got the head coach job at Catawba--a local boy, and the Panthers have a history of drafting local players recently (Ickey, Horn, for example).  If one or two people get on that train, it is often repeated and whipped into a rumor.  I think they could draft a WR (Golden is my guess).  To me, the empty safety spot is glaring--we did not sign blackmon and he remains unsigned.  Curious.  Morgan's comments about the WR room being good--curious.  And then there is Moton and his knee.   I have heard that we could draft an OT (if BPA) and possibly trade Moton--that was on a Panther podcast.  Did something happen in that development that caused the Panthers to change directions, skipping the UGA pro day?  Hmmmm. I will say this:  I think the Panthers really like Princely.  They would use the draft capital from trading back for the S to move up for the Edge in round 2. We shall see.  But Chris SImms pissed me off when he bashed Walker, but his points were valid--not his assessment.  His comment about overrated was to get clicks.

      For sure I just think he is Uber talented and teams know it.   If he's there at 57 is a no brainer I just don't think it's going to be an option

      Williams would be an Edge for us. We only have Wonnum and Clowney one more year.
