Wtf is Trent Scott (#78) doing in that clip? That is shockingly atrocious.

I don't really agree with the poster you were responding to but being a better coach than Rhule isn't a high bar at the moment, and even now Carolina still made the right overall move in letting Ron go. His time in Carolina had run its course and he's picked up right where he left off there in Washington. Issue in Carolina is did they choose the right guy to replace him, and while that's still TBD the data are building and it's a mystery. With respect to Rhule 'Gives up on QBs' isn't accurate at all, but it's absolutely fair to call the talent evaluation into question. Teddy is a bottom tier starter at best (looks exactly the same in Denver) and Sam was a reclamation project that started strong and then nosedived and ultimately sidelined due to injury. Cam was damaged goods when Rhule started and he and his rookie staff had some tough lessons with the failed Teddy experiment last year, and unfortunately may have repeated them with Sam. Lot of reason to think Cam is as much a business and football decision but no question he brings the offense up. To some up: Ron is better if only due to actual NFL experience (starting Haskins with the playoffs on the line and cutting him the next day... hilarious), but not tough to do given what Rhule has shown to date, and the QB situation is a product of talent evaluation much moreso than coaching.

They haven't found a solution to the 5 and 6 iso(ish) and power that come straight at Burns and Reddick. Not knocking those guys specifically but I get vibes of that 9-wide defense Philly was lambasted for in years past.

Or that's what Cam wanted.

What a playcall! Complete redemption after that sneak.

What a god awful call at that distance.

Only got $20 in my pocket.

So the game ends 27-24 instead of 34-10. Carolina still wins.

I'm sorry, but it's not truly Baldy's Breakdowns unless it's him recording his TV with an iPhone 7 and cutting off like a third of the screen.

Aaron didn't get flagged for taking his helmet off, so probably not at all. Cam was flagged for the helmet, not the celebration.

I'd bet significant money it was a lighthearted moment and whatever was said, even if 'don't do it again' is verbatim, was put out in such a manner. Any way of it I'd be very surprised if there was any kind of issue that arose down the road, either with Cam or Rhule. The fact that Rhule called Cam at all means he knows what side his bread is buttered on and will handle things accordingly, and Cam is a mature player. They will be fine.

Such a comment would be specifically telling him not to take his helmet off again given that that's what Cam was penalized for. Seems a pretty cut and dry thing that doesn't tread on Cam's personality, as I don't recall him ever getting such a penalty before.

Eh, any kickoff can be returned and it's quite literally the job of the coverage team to tackle a returner. The penalty would factor since it all be ensures a return but the responsibility split would be like coverage team 99%/Cam 1%, if that, for your scenario.

Cam came right out in his postgame and said it was completely on him and that he told Rhule it would never happen again. This is a nonstory.

I know that in true Rivera fashion there is a very real possibility of them coming out and looking like a D2 team even after beating Tampa last week. Can't count on it of course, but the odds are not negligible.

And I continued off of your point to say that Cam's action is different than Teddy. I don't disagree that it's a similar response.

Speaking of lol. Same old Teddy.

Was a bad action from Cam for sure, but Cam put himself out there every week without hesitation. Teddy does not. Stuff happens and it's easier to write off as a fluke when there is so much evidence to the contrary, a la Kasay in the Super Bowl. The All 22 of this play is even worse.

How'd you get this one?

Agreed, and 'effortless' was the exact word I used in the game thread. Ball just came out of his hand and travelled downfield, no sign of laboring. Good to see and hopefully it holds up.

The penalty wasn't even for taunting, it was for taking his helmet off. If he would have left it on the flag wouldn't have been thrown.

Per the snap counts looks like Brady was on the field for 13, which was 17% of the total offensive snaps. Considering that no one seems to have noticed and we didn't hear his name I'm going to say he did OK.
