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.

    • 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. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
    • I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
