If both these occurred during the first 2 min drill session of camp, then I can understand why the rookies struggled a little. 

On the 2nd, you can't really blame Worley for getting beat by Byrd on a fly route... Coleman should be there to help but Cam may have done a great job looking him off before the throw.

"Ten times out of ten, that will be a touchdown for the Carolina Panthers, as no defensive player on the team has the speed to catch up with the lightning quick Ginn."

Sorry, but in a game Ginn would drop 5 of those 10.  

You forgot the sentence that precedes what you're quoting-   "From there, nothing stood between Ted Ginn and the end zone but open turf." That means 'after the catch'.

I'm not sure how relevant it is to these plays, but it's also important to note that even in these fully padded drills the offense has the advantage because the QB isn't going to get hit. 

I think it's very relevant.

Did you enjoy his little bit of show boating to the rookie at the end. It made me chuckle. Like, nice try kid. 

It was great to see. For most of the day they were within 10ft of me so I witnessed how close those guys are. Also, was very impressed with CAP. O-line looked very in sync today as well. Cam was talking so much trash to the defense at one point we were all laughing.

Thank you for getting it. 

:)

Sorry, I misread.  Mistakes happen.  I at least did you the courtesy of correcting the three errors you made when "quoting" that sentence.  

:)

(sorry Igo, I just had to be a smartass back)

It's not like Ginn is that much bigger & he seemed to have a successful season. Also if you have lighting speed like Byrd you can make up the ground when delayed by  the jam. 

Although I agree with what you're saying on any given play, for the most part seconds do matter. During the game, Byrd is going to have to have to elude the jam at the line if he wants consistent playing time and/or to reach his potential. Precise route running begins at the line where you are in a battle to try and outwit (and sometimes out-muscle) your opponent and get into the route quickly. Timing is very import, because most of the time the QB only has a few seconds to get the ball out. Speed will help you recover at times, but if you are consistently being affected by being jammed, you can get washed out of the play before it even gets going. That's a recipe for being on the bench at best, or out of a job at worst.

The one great thing about guys who are true burners even if they are small is no one wants to jam them because if you mess it up it's a TD every single time. It's why all the speed guys get huge cushions from most corners because coaches don't trust them to actually get the jam.

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

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
