4 bold changes the Carolina Panthers should make vs. Saints in Week 2
By Dean Jones
Carolina Panthers put Tommy Tremble at FB
The Carolina Panthers got away with some missed blocking assignments and poor protection overall against the New York Jets. That will not be the case if the same pattern emerges in Week 2.
Sean Payton will know exactly how vulnerable Carolina is regarding their protection. So this is something the head coach is going to exploit at every possible opportunity.
Simply put, the Panthers need all the help they can get.
And Tommy Tremble might be able to assist greatly.
One area where the Notre Dame product excels is blocking. His pass-catching skills might not be that reliable as yet, but Carolina should make the most out of his violent approach to carve open lanes for running back Christian McCaffrey and keep quarterback Sam Darnold upright.
Having Tremble occupying the full-back position on occasions wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. A role currently being deployed by former tight end Giovanni Ricci.
