What is the identity of this team?

Under Jerry RIchardson, the identity was always clear (with the exception of George Seifert). Defense first, run the ball. 

Under David Tepper, I haven't been able to figure out who this team is trying to be. At any point. What is the identity? Are they an offensive team because of an offensive head coach now? Are they a running team or a passing team? Have they made any indication about who they are even trying to be? Dan Morgan said something about "needing more dogs" or something like that but they have no identity. 

To quote Andrew Carnegie, "As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say, I just watch what they do." 

What do the Panthers do? Lose football games. So I guess that's the identity.

Under Tepper there isn't one. Plain and simple.

But we still talk and invest like we're a pound the rock team. Chuba Hubbard is certainly a talented back for us and we paid him as such. Unfortunately he can't do it himself. And he definitely can't do it if we find ourselves in an early hole and have to dig our way out.

Clearly the Cowboys have been watching film of our offense in recent weeks and summarily took away everything that Bryce Young had success with. One step forward two steps back on repeat is all I see.

But at the end of the day when the game is on the line your first overall pick is who you turn to. What round was Mr. Three Touchdowns Cooper Rush drafted in again? Oh he wasn't? Interesting.

      Bryce May Not Be the Answer

      By chbright · Posted

      Think it's broader than that. If they have a bunch of physical red flags, don't pick/trade the farm to get them 1-1, or even later still. There is a time to take that risk in a player with physical red flags, but trading assets and value from early rounds (4) ain't it.

      Howell is garbage in the interception % category. He's may not get may more chances at if that doesn't improve significantly.

      Dissecting the offensive problems today

      By chbright · Posted

      Canales tried to establish a run game, hell 1st drive, went to it 2nd drive on 2nd and 5, but got nada and a penalty to make it 3rd and 10. 3rd drive of the game back to the ground, oh that ended in another turnover, INT. Following drive run again and backwards to start the drive. Then a penalty to make it 2nd and 18, sorry not running out of that one.  Following drive is the Coker TD damn didn't establish the run there dave, for shame....... Stare the 2nd half with with a bryce fumble. We went 3 and out the next 2 drives after the fumble. Started with a run the 2nd drive of the half, as you wanted the 1st drive after seeing a fumble, and got 1 yard. What did you want another run then? In 3rd and a mile after the sack, running wasnt an option. Dallas scores a td after that 3 and out. So it was 24-7. Next drive starts with a big sack, so again want to run when it's long yardage and 2nd and 19? 3rd down was 11 yards to go, so again want to run? Dallas scores again so it's 27-7 and now the 4th quarter. Game set match. Woohoo we got one more TD, and the string plays out. Sean that story all last year. By the 27-7 mark, games over. Dave tried to run the ball, but either it was inopportune to run more in the 1st half, or a mistake cost is the opportunity. So no way no how this is on Dave for not trying to run the ball. Abandon the run in the 2nd half my ass. Unless you really want foxball and RR back (both are available, I wonder why) to run every 1st and most 2nd downs, we tried or it wasn't an option in the second half. So try another reason than abandoning the running game, dang troll. Stop blaming the coach for Bryce again.    So to surmise, what we passed on 1st down to start the half and your blaming that? your words ' should have run the ball instead' is post fumble (bad Bryce outcome). We get a yard like 2nd drive in the 2nd half via running it and it's back to saying the running game is putting Bryce in a bad spot. That's the song and dance we heard last year and to start the year. Can't have it both ways. That fumble was a huge swing, as was the fumble in the red zone and driving with relative ease.
