Q Living in Philly, I see a lot of Eagles games and I can't help but wonder what the West Coast Offense might look like in Carolina. All you need is an efficient QB (which Jake will get back to), athletic runningback (we have two) and a good WR (we have one of those too) I feel like utilizing more of the screen game would really open up the passing game for Smith. It just seems to me that Fox simply refuses to use his RBs except as runners. I want to see more screen (like Minnesota threw at us today). What's your take?

A: Derek: They ran the West Coast here for George Seifert for 3 years and went 16-32 overall (altho granted it was Beuerlein the QB most of the time then, not Delhomme). I would like to see more screens, yes -- the Panthers have rarely run this play well throughout their entire existence.
