Curtis Samuel WILL get his shot (according to Norv)

[rodeo]

LOL i loved 'what do you mean panthers fans are upset, i checked the PFT comment section and didn't see anything.'

this dude can't think of anywhere panthers fans might be besides nfl.com and PFT (which is so toxic that it makes our tinderbox look like a mr. rogers episode)

Voth said they had a specific package of plays for him but they got thrown out when we had to play catch up all game.

having one of your fastest playmakers on the bench because you're trying to make a comeback. makes sense

This is where I will get frustrated with both Norv and Ron.

 

They are so rigid when it comes to the "way it's supposed to be done", that they just cannot adjust on the fly.

Curtis didn't practice Wednesday in 12 personnel, so he can't play Sunday in 12 personnel....that poo get's old.  Put your best players on the field...this isn't 1992.

i understand him being eased back in to the offense but that doesn't explain his snap count decreasing from the prior week.

Down 17-0 you don’t want a speedy playmaker on the field...

Excuses made by the coaching staff this week alone:

Ron

• We have new coordinators (that did not seem to be a problem this year until the Redskins debacle)
• Winning covers up a lot (The coaches are not addressing weaknesses because the team beat the lowly Giants on a last second, 63-yard, desperation FG?)

Norv

• Samuel has only practiced 3 weeks so he got only 3 snaps (How long did Williams practice before you started him?  Did Wright practice all week?  How much did you get out of him?)

It was a probably a bunch of dumb gadget plays too like reverses and crap. We did that with him last year early then again this year with DJ. Just put him in the damn offense.

I said the exact thing I bet we had a bunch of dumb ass silly gimmick type of crap for him to run even when he hands down runs the best out route along with other routes. When they couldn't triple reverse it they took him out the rotation straight ignorant.

Samuel was around for the entirety of training camp and preseason. He knows the offense. He’s also not a rookie and we still use a good chunk of the old playbook as Norv has said since it’s the same verbiage, concepts and base system Shula ran.

That's what I thought he balled out showing his explosive play making ability vs Miami and then again vs New England the moment I realized he's a problem the nasty juke before going outta bounds, why are the excuses so Ridiculous he literally just threw out some bs that doesn't add up how after that preseason and his td vs Nyg would you decrease his snaps the following week and blame something that's makes no sense a package of plays or he missed training camp we as fans are getting slapped in the face with ignorance Sunday if he shows up which I'll think will only happen if he's running real routes not the gimmick crap Ron's post game comments: We know Curtis is a playmaker we just needed the right opportunity to utilize him. 

We have pieces and this week vs a very good D Norv we're waiting to see your approach vs the best run d in the game.

Hahahaha oh yea another one Ron: inclement weather stopped us from some install even though he played last week and did well if we didn't get todo new install why not just run what we run successfully a week ago out route or smoke screens based off the week before you would have to run that play just because it was so successfull we actually ran it to Manhertz I think tricky or not it's ignorant when we have strong yac options (Moore/Curt/CMC/CJ) available THATS poor Personnel Management no excuses eat it and do better this week stop lying to us like we all didn't watch training camp.

Rivera will never change.  Samuel will get ZERO shots on sunday.

I'm scared it's gonna be a few smoke screens and a hand offs and reverses where he starts seven yards behind the LOS i.e. Moore's chances prior to last week.
