holy poo. Can you imagine? If this OL is back to speed, then you have Olsen on one side, Shockey on the other, Both of our RB's are back in the fold, Steve smith is back...whew!!

I really think we must go with the 'Ace' as our base formation esp. with this rookie QB. Wow, just fuging WOW!

I suspect we will see lots of 12, 21, 22, and 11 personnel groupings this year. The ace formation is simply one of the many options available in either 12 or 11 personnel groupings. (for those not familiar with the terms, the first number refers to the number of running backs in a play and the second one refers to the number of TEs. If you count 5 players on the line and the quarterback makes 6 total, add in the running backs and tight ends, that tells you how many receivers are left when you subtract from 11.) So in 12 personnel you have 2 wide receivers and in 11 personnel you have 3 wide receivers. In 10 personnel you have a single running back, no tight end and 4 wide receivers.

For those who care..................

I have been wanting to see the Panthers run out of single back sets for awhile now. Deangelo is a threat inside and out and can catch, Stewart ran from a singleback formation in college.

I think that it would really help out having a rookie QB and being able to disguse run/pass plays with that formation.

See I am thinking in the 11 we will see olsen or Shockey (most likely olsen) split in the slot off the LOS with shockey still on the line.

      If I’m putting myself in a team’s shoes - you’re looking at these prospects and Warren hits most boxes for a TE with a plus on most. So yeah, he’s a great prospect, no doubt, 1st round talent as a TE. But when I look at him through the lens of that PSU offense, they were running so much through him, I’m not so sure it was beneficial to seeing how he translates.  They were getting him open in the flat, running weird trick plays, and designed a lot of ways to find him on delayed seam routes and such. So a lot was structured around getting him the ball in creative ways to advance the ball, in steady sequences, methodically down the field.  Thing is, yeah he’s catching a ton, is big, and can block, but throw him into an NFL offense in a more traditional sense, he’s gonna be stickied by speedy LBs and big nickels. I just wonder how he is in a more isolated fashion— when he’s just a piece of a greater NFL offense getting shadowed by more talented defenders. I think it could still be great but I have question marks when it’s at the TE position. Will he look no different than other very solid TEs or is he this offensive centerpiece at the position that doesn’t come along often (Bowers, Gronk, Kelce, Witten, TG, etc)? I think he brings a ton and could be one of the safer TE prospects, but what I’m unsure about is if you’re really getting this new age Witten type people are crowning him as. Even if that’s the case, is that worth it? If he wasn’t in PSU’s Franklin/Allar offense, would you be seeing the same output?  More questions than anything - I could get on board with it, but it’s hard for me to really project because of how that offense was (which was so frustrating at times).

      Twitter sources, but supposedly the Rams want him. He might actually go Round 1.

      You aren't going to ever get him out of the equation. As he has stated previously, he believes it his right to make the final call on decisions.
