Cliff notes:

Basically McAdoo is trash. The RPO game is the staple of our offense and it's trash. We're not feeding our workhorses and Mayfield is a limited QB schematically and we're not playing to his strengths (play action).

Smitty did give the D props. Said their biggest problem is simply getting worn out from being on the field all game.

IMO, it's very clear at this point that Phil Snow has been the reason for Rhule's success. Rhule is the pitchman and Snow is the actual brains behind the operation and that's why Rhule has always coached defensive focused teams with "good enough to get by" offenses. Except "good enough to get by" at Temple and Baylor ain't good enough to get by in the NFL.

that was great thanks

Yeah, loved Smitty giving the defense props.  They’ve been playing about as good as they can considering how shite our offense has been.  
 

The offense basically being RPO without the R was one of my favorite things he said.  Mentioned Foreman is nowhere to be seen, Baker can’t find throwing lanes like he should, while smaller guys like Murray and Brees don’t have those batted ball problems, and ended with a disgusted face asking “what is McAdoo doing?”  I don’t know Stevonne… I just don’t know.

 

Was also nice to hear him say his two teams are the Panthers and his Utah Utes.  Love hearing him not talk about the Ravens (except for that cool little Suggs story).

 

always an entertaining time with 89

He is right.  We ran the ball a couple of times to start the third qtr.  We punted, and they tied the game at 10-10.  After that, we passed the ball roughly 20 consecutive times.  By the end of that stretch, we were down 26-16.  20 consecutive throws might work with Mahomes or Brady.  It ain't working with Baker Mayfield.

Smitty doing a lot of posturing and thinking about what to say to not sound like a complete ass.

His unfiltered version is, the players are good enough to win some games if put in the right position to succeed. These coaches are so fuging dumb, they will never put them in that position.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
