Ron Rivera " QBs don't practice jumping on fumbles. "

Now where have I read this explanation before... hmmmm.....

 

 

Oh... right here a few days ago

Exactly.  A few people, including myself, have been saying this since that night.  I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to realize this.  I guess they decided to crucify before facts, as usual.   Glad Ron said it though.

Watched Sound FX on NFLN, they showed several views of Cam going for the ball that seemed to mesh with what you were saying: he over pursued with his legs and had to jump back to dive down... and might have even had it if Von Miller doesn't punch it.

Obviously Ron reads the huddle

Plus how awkward Cam moves with those big long legs, it's not easy to just change direction like someone 5"10".  We've seen how goofy he looks trying to juke or slide.

Thank you Ron!! I'm glad NFL FX also showed several angles. Hopefully people can now shut up about it. It's never a question in his heart and toughness. He over pursued, couldn't risk injury and it's a matter of technique. Get off of his back! I bet he's a fumble recovering King next year!

Yeah I remember that time I saw an NFL QB on the bottom of a pile...oh wait

If Cam would have jumped on that ball 3 Denver players would have hit him in the head.  They were head hunting him all night without flags.

Pretty much, one of the defenders even said they would "hit him right in the face" if he had recovered the ball.

In my own opinion, his desire to win has never been in question. Whatever he needs to do to get the job done, he does. Period

I don't get spun up about haters.

HGH (Haters gonna Hate)

If he had tried to recover, with our luck that day, we would've broken a leg or torn knee ligaments. Salt to the wound, media would've blasted him anyways for taking an "unnecessary risk" that jeopardized next season.

Besides, it's better to improve the protection around the quarterback so we don't have to deal with fumble recoveries in the first place.

[bLACKpANTHER]

we all, including the team, need to turn the page.. no more talking about that game

[CPcavedweller]

The fun part about this. Cam ended up on the ground 1 second later and almost tackled the guy who made the recovery...

So this is all some poo started by people wanting to question his drive based on a bang bang play and they didn't even take the entire play into account.

I dont understand why a professional football player would have to  "practice" ahead of time in order to make an attempt to get a fumble back.  Sounds to me like Rivera is making excuses now.  He should have kept his mouth shut.
