One ridiculous Cam play


Peppers90 NC

Recommended Posts

I think it was the 4th quarter, 3rd and 10 or so, maybe 12.  It was the play Cam got facemasked, I would love to see another video of this:

 

He evades getting sandwhiched by two DE's(one of them pulls his facemask), then he drops his shoulder and trucks another defender, then he somehow gets the ball off to Tolbert.  Tolbert gains a few but we get the first down because of the facemask penalty on Bennet. 

 

The will is there, the skill is there, I think he is going to have a great season once things start clicking.

I don't think it was a facemask on the play. If it was I missed it in the replay. It looked to me that the Seahawks' player got his hand in Cam's shoulder pads and cam had his head down when it happened, the ref on the opposite side interpreted the jerky motion from the tug on the shoulder pad and Cam's helmet being down as a face mask.

 

Either way, it was a great escape from a collapsed pocket. But after the escape it only result in a small check-down. Wilson launched his pass about 30 yards for a completion when he escaped traffic.

Wasn't a facemask but still a blow to the head.  Still a penalty and still 15 yards.  You can not touch a quarterbacks head.  Thats been the rule for who knows how long.  And both defenders reached up and smacked the poo out of his head.  Tolbert had his facemask ripped too on that play.  Easily could have been 30 yards in penalty yardage.

easy team to face..  you could be right.  long term though?

i think they are a pretty decent team, they were on tv up here along with the Jets/Buccs game so I was watching both those along with the Panthers, they should have beaten NE.  

 

Other than the heartbreak fumble yesterday, i felt pretty good about our team.  yea we could have been better, and we will be.  7 points will never be enough, but there is reason for optimism, at least right now.

there have been reasons to be optimistic for years now...  until they earn optimism there is no reason to feel it.

 

they are a good team.  means nothing until they stop losing games they should win.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
