The Run D Problem: Scheme, Personnel, or Both??

Our personnel doesn’t work with our scheme. And the 3-3-5 and 3-2-6 are not suitable for a base defense.

Burns-Brown-Ioaniddis as the only 3 down linemen with Wilson/Luvu/Shaq behind and 5 DBs will allow anyone to run over us. 

The 4-3 looks didn’t have Chinn play up in the box either so his skills were unused. 

Awful game plan by Snow with no recognition of our opponent’s strengths and weaknesses.

He ran more than Chubb last week.  Maybe he's tired.

I hope so! 🤣 I believe we can still win if Barkley gets over 100 but we have to get off the field on 3rd downs. That's the main problem I have with this defense. It should not be so fuging easy to convert 3rd and longs on us. It should be hard to convert those anyway and we give those up with ease.

If Snow doesn't stack the box more forcing the throw, he's going to get everybody fired.  We don't have the personnel to not adjust the D for the run.  Its like he doesn't trust our secondary.

Here's the thing about Snow:  He's spent 34 years coaching at the college level.  Prior to the Panthers, he had 4 years at the NFL level, all with Detroit.  With that pedigree, it is just possible he can't transition to what schemes, adjustments, and personnel it takes to run an effective defense in the NFL.

34 years is a long time and a lot of instinct to have to overcome.  Honestly, with that level of college experience, it is probably not realistic for him to ever accomplish that.  When the dung hits the fan, people revert to what they know.

I'm 61 and have over 33 years experience in my specific branch of the industry I work in.  I'm not sure I could transition to one of the other branches, and I think the similarities between them are a lot more plentiful than the similarities between NFL and college defenses and tactics.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
