About those blocked field goals in Seattle last year...

We all remember when Kam Chancellor jumped over the offensive line twice to block Panther field goals.

Well, turns out there was a reason it was so easy, per David Newton:

 

Strange how this went unnoticed for so long.

I see what Rivera is talking about.....

I also don't think it was needed by Seattle.  Kam had whatever tell we have timed perfect.  So even if they don't hold our players this time we still need to do something about messing up the snap timing.  B/c Kam clears it for the block IMO even if they don't commit the penalty. 

So Ron getting the officials just to look for that isn't enough IMO.  He has to alter the snap timing.

Hard to say. Would have only needed to glance his foot for him to get off balance.

maybe.

But I still think it was inexcusable coaching to ignore our snap timing on the second kick b/c clearly Kam and the entire Seattle staff felt extremely comfortable that Kam could time it PERFECT (which he did.....twice).

btw, for those wanting to see the ESPN article, here's the link. smh

It should also be noted that Seattle hasn't tried that since then. If it worked so well, even Bellicheck would be doing it.

thanks I'll update OP with that. It wasn't posted until just now

Seattle hasn't played us since.  That wasn't something random they were going to pull in the playoffs....it was Panther specific.  They saw something they that they could exploit in our garbage special teams.   

Maybe be we have corrected it.  Maybe we haven't.  Stuff like that is team specific film study oriented....and Seattle had someone they thought could pull it off

Maybe there was a tell, maybe there wasn't. Maybe they just thought bullying their way to the kicker was the way to go. It doesn't matter because after Rivera notified the NFL about it & the NFL responded with "They said, 'Yeah, that can be called or should be called or will be called.' " no one else has tried it anywhere, not even them, because it is illegal as hell. It was no reflection on our special teams.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
