Too much CMC, bad coaching, will take the W.

absolutely agree

I'd like to see some of the CMC screens go to the TE.  Get Arnold / Tremble / Thomas several catches each per game.   And some redzone success with them as well.  

Getting the TE involved would take a lot of pressure off of this offense.  

I agree... the way Olsen was a factor. Would be huge in the red zone. I think Arnold is a good, could be great TE, Darnold has to build that chemistry. Play calling will help!

Coaching was bad…but Darnold also missed a few throws in the second half where plays were there to be made…big plays.  Moore also had a couple Drops that were inexcusable.  
 

loved that we won…but it just feels like a loss for some reason.  We went backwards in the second half in all aspects of the game.  Their adjustments worked, ours didn’t.  They made the hustle plays, we didn’t.  They played to win, we didn’t.  If that happens against most teams in the NFL, we lose.

I really wanted the D to go for the jugular in the beginning of the second half and just shut the Jets completely down.   But we clearly eased up and the Jets stuck around until the end of the game.   That's not what great teams do.  They deliver the knockout punch as soon as they can to just demoralize the other squad.

I don't know if it was soft playcalling or if the players relaxed a bit.   But the Panthers didn't have the aggressive attitude in the 2nd half as much.

Agree.  We got soft on both sides of the ball.  Can’t win consistently like that.

I think they got scared that Darnold would make a mistake so they fed CMC in the second half.

 

Really wanted to see them trust him to throw the daggers needed to put them away early. Hopefully the sheltering won’t last all season.

Yea…we were up 16-0 and defense was playing lights out

He had 121 yards at halftime,  besides for a few big plays to WR's he was the offense in the first half and then they went away from it and couldn't execute for some reason.

I’m talking about the second half when telegraphed every play to CMC. 
 

If Darnold is really the guy then we’re gonna have to lean on him at some point to put the game away. This should have been a blowout victory.

C’mon guys. You don’t open up the playbook week 1 so everyone knows what you can do.

A simple run game could beat the Jet so they went with that. 
 

It’s the smart thing to do.

I don't know if this is sarcasm or not, but regardless, I agree. A vanilla game plan was enough to beat the Jets. That, combined with Sam had a whole half of a preseason game to get into the flow with his guys, I can see them wanting to make this more of a shake off the rust kind of game. I choose to believe we have a more aggressive playbook for our very real competition with NO next week.

      The trade below a few years ago was so bad and in favor of the Ravens, tf was Arizona doing Cardinals receive: Marquise Brown and 3rd round pick  Ravens receive: 23rd overall pick

      Draft expectations vs reality

      keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.

      Because it’s all bullshit and they know it’s bullshit.
