Should put to rest, the nonsense that BB had any sort of grudge over keeping McDaniels in town. The guy is a master at the chess game, at staying one step ahead with those continual tweaks and mods that just keeps Pitts off balance.
It's borderline obscene. McD is continually taking cake away from a kid here.
First run, if Solder had sustained his block vs Watt longer than he was able to do, then that run would've gained more yards, maybe a lot more yards. Nice hustle by Watt.
Second run, Dwayne Allen should've blocked the outside DB #25 instead of the next-level LB #98 Williams. The Cat likely would've gained another 3/4 yards.
Fourth run, Thuney did a poor job of blocking #98 Williams. In fact, he blocked Williams right into a head-on collision with Burkhead. Weak.
There's nobody off-screen.Or, maybe Allen blocked his assignment and someone else (offscreen) was supposed to have taken care of the DB.
Plays that work are always cool to break down and admire,. but you can't run that play over and over. Defense reads it.
The plays I like in terms of strategic scheme are plays that set up subsequent plays or plays later in the game... Weis was good at that it seemed more so than mcD...
The main red flag is the O-line. In the preseason -- and yes, I know it's the preseason -- Carolina's offensive front was pushed back and/or allowed pressure on the greatest percentage of passing downs in the NFL. The Panthers just added tackle depth by acquiring Corey Robinson in a trade with the Lions, but Robinson's a former seventh-round pick with eight career starts. In the past seven years, teams that have allowed push-back + pressures ranking in the bottom five during the regular season haven't made the playoffs once
