With the Jack play, he said it was a run play and McCaffrey hole was his gap but as the TE motioned, he played the TE as well in case of a PA. Too much thinking, trying to cover everything. Just do your job and play fast.

Are you suggesting he should not cover the TE?  Who should cover the TE on that play?  He was the LB closest to that side of the field. 

You say, "Do your job..." but what was his job?  That's what I'd like to know.  Why did he move toward the TE?

If the Panthers knew that motioning the TE toward that side if the field would cause Jack to think he had to cover the TE, then I guess Darius was right and they pencil-whipped us.

The D was playing the run. Jack's meant to be hitting that enormous hole that McCaffrey run through.

It seemed once the TE motions, Jack tries to play the run and pass coverage on the TE. You cant do both. One has you running to the flat, the other is rushing the line so he ends up in nowhere land trying to do both and McCaffreys gone. If your assignment is run, you play run and if the TE goes 70 yards untouched it's on the OC. Guys just cant go freelancing.

I just think the players are overthinking stuff, trying to cover any and all possibilities. You just cant do that. Now is that because they dont trust/like the system. I have no idea.
