CSR Blogger Live from Panthers Training Camp, Tues Aug 9

Unfortunately last night was a wash (literally) when the storm came through. The Panthers practice for today was moved to 10:30 this morning, so I'll head down for my last practice shortly.

From what I've seen at camp...

He is horrible at it. Never gets under the ball. Looks lazy, and catches with his hands only, not entire body. Basically perfect recipe for dropped balls and fumbles when you’ve got 11 guys running down the field at you.

The more I watch LaFell, the less I like him. He just doesn’t look motivated like he should. I wouldn’t be sorry to see him cut for somebody with more drive.

Cut him a break

It’s the first time he’s ever fielded punts and you’re ready to cut him. Calm down.

by Smitty89 on Aug 9, 2011 11:03 AM EDT up reply actions  

That's not why i'm ready to cut him

LaFell has shown time and again that he does not have the work ethic to be a number 2 receiver in the NFL. Smitty said the WRs were unmotivated last year and Rivera said the same this year; we brought in Nannee for this exact reason.

IMHO we don’t need someone like LaFell as dead weight on our roster similar to the years of Dwayne Jarrett.

well the interesting thing here is

an attitude check for 11. AE, Clowney, Wright are all willing to play ST’s to secure their spot on the roster. how will BL respond to being asked to do the same? is he going to be a fighter, doing whatever it takes to make the team? or will he be offended being asked to do something “beneath” him?

Possession receivers have an uphill battle in this offense

That position is mainly filled by TEs, and slot receivers inside are expected to grant large chunks of YAC due to the space the offense creates for them. I expect him to be relegated to run plays as a blocking receiver and on 3rd and shorts in the same set for possession 1st down catches. The #1 and #2 are expected to go deep constantly in this offense.

by ppalm on Aug 9, 2011 11:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

Going to need a third speed receiver to spell Smitty

He stated he was not interested in being the “stretch the field so the TE can get the underneath pass”-guy – at least not all the time. He was expecting some of the younger guys to take that, and he would be OK with taking the slot sometimes.

Not sure how much of that was due to the coaching/QB situation last year, and how much is just recognizing that he is getting older.

I don't always fail, but when I do...

by BusyBeingAwesome on Aug 9, 2011 11:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

That would be my expectation

I guess the thing is that #1 can seem to imply different things sometimes. Often #1 is the speed/deep guy, where #2 is the bigger/slower/“Posession” guy, and that if there is one WR, it is the #1, and if there are two, then #2 with the depth chart always filling from the top.

I think (HOPE!) that Chud mixes it up, and will swap sides, put 89 in the slot when more than 2 WR’s, give Smitty a rest from time to time. It would be possible in my brain to have a single RB setup, and not even have 89 on the field… Use the younger guys on the sidelines to drive the CB’s deep, and use TE’s and bigger WR’s underneath, and see if the QB can find the mistake…

I would not expect it very often, as you don’t want to keep such a big talent off the field for long, but I would not find it out of the question either.

I see Naanee+Gettis+Clowney filling that role, with Smith doing it about 40% of the time

The place I see LaFell excelling is in the red zone offense. If he can get on the field in those sets, either him or Olsen will constantly be in position to make plays into the EZ.

Drew Carter was a draft pick.

Lightning fast, unfortunately he had a few ACL injuries and unspectacular hands that ended his career. Jason Carter was an UDFA, looked brilliant in TC catching everything thrown his way, I thought he was our next Ricky Proehl. Tore his ACL, came back the next year doing the same thing, however when the real games came around he had a few bad drops. Ended up getting cut.

A lot of teams carry 7 WRs, I would honestly be surprised if we carried 6

On game days, I expect 6 active WRs and 3 active TEs, with one less active OL with Hartsock covering any triple-injury craziness. Inactive TE would be Barnidge, inactive WR would be Clowney or Pilares.

Semi-serious question

How different is a running play at the goal line vs at midfield? I would think that passing would get compressed a lot, where I-formation Off-tackle right would be pretty similar regardless of where you run it?

(also have to figure in new QB’s vs established RB’s – need the cycles on passing)

cam bouncing back

johnellis212 John Ellis
Cam with another nice throw, post to Wright (15) on backline for TD.

johnellis212 John Ellis
Gordon/Stanford first team CB’s….confusion on D between godfrey and Gordon. Cam had Gettis in Ezone…dropped

the thing i like about cam is, i can see him throwing 3 picks in a game that lead to 17 points for the opponent, but still scoring 31 because he is so explosive and trying to make plays. like, give him 8 drives a game, maybe 2 turnovers but 4 TD’s you know?

The days of only scoring what you need to score to win, are over, thankfully

Seems silly… you would think Cam would be out wide on that play.

by Tater596 on Aug 9, 2011 12:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

Why?

If they’re practicing the wildcat the QB goes out to the WR position.

Obviously they’re just preparing in case Clausen is the QB in the game when they call that play. I’m sure they’ll do the same with Newton. It’s not like the QB actually does anything on that play anyway.

"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury

by OldhamA on Aug 9, 2011 12:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

But again, they're just practicing that play regardless of who's at the QB position.

We have two guys competing to start at QB, so they’re both going to have to learn where to line up for that formation.

"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury

by OldhamA on Aug 9, 2011 12:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

Even if Clausen is the starting QB, makes no sense to have him lined up wide.

It would be a better allocation of resources if Newton was to line up wide no matter what since his athleticism is such a plus over Clausen.

by Panthers FTW on Aug 9, 2011 1:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

In that case why bother having a QB in the game at all?

The main reason the QB lines up out wide in the wildcat is so that the opposing DC can’t just guess the play call based on the personnel.

If you bring in Newton when Clausen is starting it completely defeats the object. You might as well sub Clausen for a WR and be done with it.

"Nah, you look like Elijah Wood." - danmerqury

by OldhamA on Aug 9, 2011 1:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

Both Newton and Clausen can throw the ball

but Newton also adds the extra dimension as a valid receiving threat due to his athleticism. Clausen does not have that. It makes more sense to have Newton in a Wildcat play than it would to have Clausen.

Perhaps I have something wrong

but having Newton out there means that you have to worry about so many more play calls. They are not going to call a double reverse to Clausen. I don’t see them passing the ball to Clausen. But with the Newton those are options.

Am I missing something here?

by pieterzen on Aug 9, 2011 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

You are suggesting that Newton replace JC (even if only for one play).

So, yeah, that’s gonna bring out comments from the ole Hammy.

If you have Clausen starting and you bring Cam in

it’s tipping them off to an extent, because why would you bring him in if he’s not going to play a role in the play? However that does add a certain element of misdirection and confusion that Clausen doesn’t provide.

But then again who do you think would be the most shocked if they threw the ball to Jimmy? XD

by pieterzen on Aug 10, 2011 12:38 AM EDT up reply actions  

Not necessarily.

While you do tipoff you’re going to be using the Wildcat, the defense still has to make sure they honor the threat Newton is to pass/run/catch/etc. This could free up someone else to make the play.

Yes I'm a dude.

because he answered your post

your reply was “well you might aswell just put WR in” his answer was "you put cam in because he is a QB thats faster,stronger,taller,better hands and still has the QB tag/position. why would you not ALWAYS have cam outthere for wildcat plays? i understand the point is to get them both doing it now to learn the plays but if this was a game it should always be cam spread wide.

by Chris Pickering on Aug 9, 2011 4:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Again - 'cos it indicates to the D that you're going to run the wildcat.

Unless you’re chopping and changing your QB mid-game, which is never a good idea.

if AE is a threat to run, and an obvious better passer, i would retire 34 from wildcat duty, his passing game wont be respected like 14

Armanti Edwards throws deep, but underthrows Steve Smith and is picked off by CB Cletis Gordon. Smith had his man beat by five yards.

Eh. they can't all be perfect.

Ultimately, it’s more important that he has improved as both a WR and KR/PR, still glad to see he has mostly had success in these special packages and that our staff plans to use them.

practice highlights from john ellis

Quick hits before AM session breaks:
-Newton separating himself with height, delivery, willingness and ability to make vertical throws–with accuracy.
-Gamble in uniform, still not practicing. Looked lethargic.
-A. Edwards running in slot, and running in wildcat as QB. Made a nice throw on 9 route to Clowney.
-Clausen still running with 1st team offense, rotating with Cam, but not making any "splash" plays. Looks small in pocket.
-Norwood still at first team RDE. Brown on 2nd unit.
-Munnerlyn still out. First team CB’s: Wilson and Stanford.
-Olsen and Shockey in 12-personnel packages together frequently, often on same side of formation.
-McDermott running wide array of blitzes, per usual.
-More on Clausen: combo of height/arm/confidence leading to an abundance of checkdowns and slants/shallow crosses.
-Beason still out, Conner active at MLB. Good lateral movement, good ability to get off blocks.
-Gettis and LaFell back in together, both being outperformed (by a shade) by Naanee today. Naanee may start.
-Godfrey/Martin look confident, sound the part. Both vocal and helping the inexperienced CB’s.
-Smith limped off after an awkward attempt to grab a Newton pass. Later returned.
-Newton has post and corner routes nailed. Best throw of day near end of practice, 30-y corner route to Shockey, perfect spiral, perfectly placed over the head of LB Thomas Davis.
-No less than 10 wildcat-formation plays, with Edwards at QB. Threw a TD on a go route to David Clowney. Later, a woeful 9 route underthrown to Smith, picked by Cletis Gordon.
-If Derek Anderson threw a pass today, I didn’t see it.

Armanti getting reps at QB, with Cam split wide!

That’s friggin exciting! Both have at least some experience as QB, WR and RB… The possibilities are very intriguing.

It CAN be.

It could have been much worse, dude. Like an ACL or a broken leg or something. If he has to he will just tie it to the next finger and roll with it.

he walked off the field, then rode the cart inside

Eric Norwood is a manimal. Or like a crafy shape-shifter. A Changeling.

As a fellow gamecock, I was stoked when we got him last year. The dude’s jsut going to get better and better, he’s a terror to qb’s when it comes to pass rush. Not taking anything away from E. Brown because he has shown flashes of greatness too IMO, but I could see the two splitting time at DE, and CJ holding down the other side. Norwood can plays linebacker as well, so can play pass coverage and chase down a running back if he breaks loose.

Actually Jimmy threw the pass.

Steve said it was just a freakish thing. It was a regular square in. The ball was not fired in there any faster than usual, according to Smitty.

I’ve heard the panthers released their depth chart. I looked on panthers.com and couldn’t find it. Or I should say I went to the depth chart section and there was nothing there.
