I said last year that the Panthers rarely use standard stuff like flood patterns, and there are inumerable formations and motions to get same effect of one deep, one middle, one short, this is standard at ALL levels of football and applies to zone or man coverage, and would be easy to use with Steve Smith at any of the 3 levels, particularly middle level from same side of formation, going in then out, post stem versus man and out, creates easy high low read, bring TE from backside adds a high low and side by side read, we did this extensively in the mid 80's, it is NOT difficult. also can bring Smitty in short motion across the formation for same effect, and on and on.
last year we went three wides two back some to good effect in the run and pass game, have not run that formation once that i know of this year.
also our splits seem awfully tight on the line sometimes.
three wides, quality control on splits, and also Jordan Gross's left foot in his stance Often gives AWAY the PASS, as do the stances of some of the other OL we have. Vincent needs to seriously upgrade his effort - gives great effort on a true double team on key plays, hits once and stops on many many others 9wtch the film)

TMQ emphasizes basic stuff worked for Patriots and brees - of course Delhomme is half as accurate as those guys, but come on, our single pattern routes to each side versus establishing standard long/short sidebyside or triangle reads, especially versus zone and especially with 7, 8, 9 guys in the "box' versus run would be effective
from TMQ ....
Brees spent most of the day under center, going against the recent shotgun-spread trend, and many of his completions weren't flashy calls, just perfectly executed slants and curls -- the kind of patterns New England used extensively in its scoring-record year. Slants and curls basically cannot be stopped so long as the passes are accurate and the blocking is good.

This season is pretty much over anyway. Looking at our remaining schedule, there are 6 games that are possible wins (Bills, Cardinals, Falcons, Dolphins, Jets & Bucs) and 5 that are almost guaranteed losses (Saints twice, Patriots, Vikings & Giants). If we get the 6 wins (not likely) and lose the 5 we end up 8-8 which won't get us in the playoffs this year.
