And how productive do you think they will be against the panthers horrid run D..

1. Helu/Torain

2. No very (Kyle)

Torain/Helu
I think Beck will be more effective passing than Grossman has been, and that will force the D back from the line. The last two games we've seen eight and nine in the box, hence no run game. If we see respect for the passing game the running game should benefit a lot. The O line shuffle is a concern. It could be a big step back, or a chance for replacements to shine. Personally, I vote shine. Torain is probably pissed off that we gave up on the run vs giggles, so if given enough touches should run rampant. If the coaches have any sense, run heavy is the way to plan, because the Panther run D stinks, and to play keepaway from Cam.

Yep I couldn't have said it better

Actually, I think Torain is going back to the bench this week, and we will see Hightower again in the starting role.

Hightower did practice all week for the first time since before the bye

We just need solid games from EVERYONE - we match up well here

Kyle needs to just call plays that suit our personnel NOT what he thinks will work - that's been his problem this year

The run game needs to be established and used all game long unless the Panthers get lucky against our defense
- WE NEED TO RUN THE FOOTBALL

STOP with the low percentage pass plays, for cryin' out loud

The Panthers will lose this game if we force them to pass the ball, same for the Redskins


Bad things happen to teams that have to go to their passing game

- BOTH these teams KNOW that

Wasn't the reasoning for Torain's start agains the Rams because Hightower was still "injured"? I think Hightower is the starter, but I think Torain has another breakout game. Helu is going to be used for some effective dump passes too.

How do you know he isn't calling plays that aren't both? And our personnel just aren't that good.

If they can run the ball, I'm sure they will. If they are ahead and the run is still some what working, I'm sure he will continue to run the ball.

What he isn't going to do is run when it isn't working or run when the other team is
over committing to stop the run.

If people are over committing to stop the run, the best thing to do is play action and throw the ball deep. That forces the a LBs and safety to stop cheating up to stop the run. So some of those low percentage plays are exactly what you mef to do.

I think Kyle knows more about play calling than both of us put together!

we nee to have some kind of running game to take pressure off beck. dont care who runs the ball the oline needs to be strong and open some holes.i thik torrain should start but hammer away with all 3rbs

hightower/torain...if tim is healthy...
