Cam's Ankle

I've said it before I'll say it again: this is the sneaky story line under the steaming pile of crap- steve smith, hardy, and injuries. 

 

We all overlooked this surgery, and apparently Cam did too.

Zod's evidence is that he is running around pregame goofing off which is all fine and good, but is 100% less intense and less psychologically challenging than playing in an NFL game. It probably doesn't hurt to walk around on, but getting twisted to the ground by a 300 pound man will get the job done. 

 

I love Cam and will never question either his: toughness, love for the game, or commitment to winning. This post isn't about that.

 

Right now things might look bad, but we're all focusing on stuff that is going to (eventually) go away/get resolved. But if Cam does serious damage to his ankle - very possible with all the hits he is taking- things go from marginally bad to nuclear. Cam's health is paramount to this franchise's future.  

 

Throw in a fluke rib injury and I'm not surprised the coaching staff is hellbent on Cam staying in the pocket. The problem there is- our offense line isn't creating a pocket.

 

For all of you with their PhD we have:

healing ankle of the pillar of our franchise + possibly the worst Panther's offensive line ever = bad. 

 

Let's all hope this young offensive line improves exponentially as the season progresses.

Let's just have faith that the Oline gets better and Cam ankle gets better as the season progresses.

His ankle is fine. I think it is more mental right now. When he hurt his ribs normally he would have planted on that left foot and cut outside.

He is still trying to trust it, but I think it is probably fine.

 

I think it still hurts when it gets tweaked on a tackle in a pile. Seen him come up with a slight limp a few times.

It was either the 1st or 3rd quarter when Cam ran along the sideline for 6-8 yards against Baltimore. You could tell while watching the replay he was favoring his better ankle.

Warm ups would be fine because his ankle stays loose since he's constantly moving. Once the game starts, and he's on the sideline for a bit I bet it stiffens up on him a little.

I've noticed him limping after coming up from hits too. You can tell he is trying really hard to hide it, both on the field and off. 

 

Cam's a savvy competitor- he's even kneeling at every huddle to not tip the defense off to when he is tired. I think this ankle is bothering him a lot more than he is letting on.

He's played hurt for years. His ankle is strong & fully healed now. The man has broken ribs. I don't think you guys realize how painful rib injuries are.

Keeping him in the pocket to protect his ribs is stupid. He's taking numerous nasty blows sitting in the pocket. He's taken maybe 2-3 hard hits running the ball his whole career.

Let him run. Being tentative & playing scared is how you get hurt.

      It's actually interesting you mention Richardson because I've seen it suggested here Bryce will have 500 or more rushing yards and 5-10 rushing touchdowns this year. And if big Anthony Richardson can get hurt carrying the rock what's that tell you about the practicality of thinking Bryce won't?

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
