Is Kalil 100%?

[KillerKat]

He just seems like he's been off a little bit recently. Last night he didn't snap the ball twice when Cam wanted it. He also got beat terribly in our own territory resulting in a sack. That isn't the first time either. I am just wondering if anyone else has noticed and if he's at 100 atm.

I can give him a pass cause of the crowd noise which seemed to be an issue especially in the first half. Let's not forget Turner had two holding calls that killed a couple drives and Remmers missed some blocks that led to losses for Jstew.

Everyone has a bad game now and then, he did have a nice block on Cam's TD scamper.

Yeah, Kalil definitely had a bad game.  Gave up the sack, had a holding penalty that brought back a 1st down, and the two previously mentioned delay of game penalties with Cam screaming for the ball for several seconds before the clock went to :00.

It wasn't just this game. The past few games I've seen him get beat really bad as well.

He's been banged up all year. I admire him for taping up and gutting it out

Not sure if he is hurt or not, but he played like sh1t yesterday

Well, if not then the mini bye has come at the perfect time. Seems like the schedule gods really did us a favour with the timing of the main bye and the Thursday game, breaks up the season into three pieces, lets everyone rest up for the final push

It didn't seem that loud, especially compared to the Seattle game. I remember Turner tapping Kalil on the shoulder telling him to hike the ball, so it's not like there was an issue with Cam not being loud enough.

The noise of the crown and his own voice calling out protections made it impossible for him to hear cam. So the coaches had our OGs literally slap him when the clock was running down so he knew to snap the ball.

Maybe his hearing is going and he needs aids. If both guards can hear Cam, but he can't then something is up.

My neighbor who has coached football said its actually the right guards job to watch the clock and tap the center when it the clock is winding down.  He said the center is busy with setting up the blocks and the guard will touch him when it is time to snap the ball. On a few other plays I did see Norwell hit Kalil on the hip and then he snapped it.

It's not about hearing it's about not being able to look at the clock while calling out protections. The guards can look at the clock but if it was an unexpected defensive look it took a bit more adjustment. It happened once so I don't think it's a huge issue.

Very few starters are 100% this time of year.
