Playbook: Panthers 'counter' option | National Football Post

With their QB I'm sure they can run any offense. Cam is about to take over the NFL

They ran that same option play again later on, (i'm surprised Bowen didn't mention it) and Cam kept it for a good gain in the RZ 15+ yards.

"If you go back and look at the things we did offensively and the different types of pass plays off of play-action, drop-back passes, [it was] then incorporating some of the spread offense that he was used to seeing," Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said at the 2012 scouting combine. "Our coaches went back and studied some of the Auburn things and looked at that and adapted that to our playbook."
No longer were NFL coaches dealing inflexibly with spread offense quarterbacks in ways that caused stunted development for players like Alex Smith and Michael Vick -- now, the idea is to bring what the quarterback can do, and what he should do, together as an organic whole. It helps that the NFL has taken great strides in the last half-decade to meet spread offense concepts halfway -- specifically in the higher percentage of shotgun snaps and tight ends detached from the formation -- but credit should be given to coaches like Chudzinski and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who willingly and helpfully went back to the future with Tim Tebow's old Florida playbook when Tebow became Denver's starter.

Yeah, I read this earlier and I was thinking Jeremy Bates, not that it matters who said it.

Maybe it will resemble the Baylor NCAA 2012 playbook. I've played that recently with RG3 and its fun to run that "Speed Option" from the shotgun. Forget RG3, you can ply up a ton of yards for the RB out of that play.

70% of the playbook will be variations on the "bubble screen"
10% Running plays
10% QB options
10% WR streaks and Hail Mary plays

It will be the same as Madden 2012.

Last year, the Redskins were 1-8 in games where they couldn't generate at least 21 points. RG3 has not called an offense from the line of scrimmage in a true audible system, so the Redskins will have to go slow in this area.

Prisco predicts 3-13?

I see John Keim mentioned a few times RGIII was operatin g out of the pistol formation. I don't recall seeing seeing any of the past QBs out from under center and the RB directly behind them. Here's a good video:

The Pistol would certainly be a new look to this offense.
I haven't seen the Pistol in the NFL since Chan Gailey +Tyler Thigpen with the Chief's 4-5 years ago.


Could you link the John Kiem article?

Didn't the Steeler's run some pistol recently when Big Ben was playing with a bad ankle?
