Little help if you guys don't mind, just needing a 2nd opinion...or a few. 2 RB's, 2 WR's, 1 Flex.

Choices:

RB

Mendenhall (start) Yes

Hightower Yes

S. Jackson (hurt-ish)

Blount

Starks

Pierre Thomas

WR

Calvin Johnson (start)

Dez - check injury but yes

Smitty

S. Moss yes

You 100% need to get Mendenhall and Calvin in the lineup. I'd probably say Hightower for your #2 back, and any combination of the 3 remaining receivers probably works. I think you have to put in Dez if he's healthy. I know conventional wisdom would be start the wideout who is going up a defense that gave up 400+ yards to Newton, but Rex seems to spread the ball around more than Cam does. The homer in me would put Smitty as the flex over Moss, but I can understand why you could go the other way.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
