The Carolina Panthers boast a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo, and THE BLITZ projects their pass/run mix to lean 3.2% more towards rushing than it did last year (context-neutralized).THE BLITZ projects the Carolina Panthers to be the 7th-most run-centric offense on the slate this week with a 46.6% run rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.THE BLITZ projects Chuba Hubbard to be a much bigger part of his team's rushing attack this week (28.9% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (11.6% in games he has played).The Carolina Panthers offensive line ranks as the 9th-best in the NFL this year at blocking for the run game.The Atlanta Falcons have stacked the box against opponents on just 11.5% of their plays since the start of last season, 6th-least in football. Choosing not to position an extra defender close to the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.
