Shula vs Quinn - A matchup of first year coordinators

[CRA]

In addition Clemons lead the Hawks last year with 11.5 sacks and Irvin was second with 8.

neither will be avaliable week 1. That would be like us entering the game without CJ and Hardy and thinking our D would be fierce.

So the first year DC won't have a big chunk of what made them go last year

Was not aware of that.

 

 

Things are looking like a Panthers upset. We are currently 3 point dogs.

CRA, this is my favorite post you've ever made. I feel a slight kinship with you now. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don't ruin it.

Yep Irvin sacked Cam twice last year and Clemons got to him once. Wagner had the only other sack against us that day.

However they do have Michael Bennett who sacked cam once per game vs the Bucs last year. Also Cliff Avril is no slouch either.

The Dan Quinn?

Shula will suprise! Haters beware...

... He will blindside you and knock your block off with a creative and effective offense. # panthers be husllin' this pre-season

Clemons is injured and Irvin will be serving a suspension.

Seattle has been hyped into this unstoppable machine that the media has completely disregarded who will be on the field. They were the bulk of the Hawks damage to opposing QBs.

I am probably a little more worried about our O than they are about their D.

 

I think this will be a close game with some serious D's going at it.

I think we win IF...

Shula can come up with an attack that doesn't involve stubbornly running Williams to nowhere and forcing it to Smith.

If his gameplay put an emphasis on Olsen, LaFell and getting some others creatively involved? Yes. Oh, and telling Cam to run we he has the chance. Get those easy chuck yards instead of sitting too long in the pocket.

Big if though....could easily see us 3rd and long routinely as Williams gets blown up trying to run behind this OL and Cam forcing it to Smitty covered by Sherman

I was thinking that Olsen needs to be leaned on heavily.  Can anyone remember if they were able to cover the TE's much last season?

 

Hoping that Shula can be a little creative, but not go full Chud like the first part of last year.

 

Hoping to see some boot's, waggles, designed runs from cam...

Olsen was forgotten last matchup....Cam was too focused on Smith who wasnt even trying to run routes often instead wanted to wrestle

Yup they are hurt, great for us.

 

Also- a 3 point spread is pretty respectable for us. I feel good about this game. Week 1 at home, insane defense, great WR options (more than we have had since moose) and a ST that looks capable.

 

Sunday will be fun!

Spot on.  Smith, LaFell/Ginn, Olsen, and anyone in the backfield who can run, block, AND catch a short pass.  Our D will take care of itself, it's Shula's play-calling and Cam's quick decision-making that worries me, aside from the Oline.
