The most telling thing about our "D", without diving in to stats (which never tell the whole story good or bad) or over-thinking this or that is this:
Carolina ran the OPTION on us successfully. This is the NFL, and they were having good results running the OPTION. You really don't have to look beyond that, do you? |

Of course, a better question might be where were the DE and OLB on that play, but that's a different thread |

Both were washed way inside, and with Harper blitzing it was an absolutely perfect play call. Even if Harper played Williams, Cam turns it upfield untouched for a huge gain.

Any NFL team could probably pull off the college option play, because it is completely unexpected.
But really, how smart is it to run the option in the NFL? Would you want us doing this with Brees? Jerry Glanville says This aint college, Ron. You're not at a Homecoming. This is the N.F.L, which stands for Not For Long, which will describe SCam Newton's career, if you keep calling plays like that. Newton already got the business end of Jon Vilma on their last scoring drive. Go ahead. Make our day. |
