"We wanted to make sure it got to him, so every time he ran, we wanted to put a helmet or shoulder pad on him, and if he's not going to slide, then we're really going to put something on you," Ward said. "We've seen him limping throughout the game. That running stuff, you can't do that all game with your quarterback."

Yes, he refers to Cam as a runner but he still admits that the broncos first priority when can runs is to hurt him. 

If there are no fine for the broncos, as a team, or at least one of the coaches player safety is officially ended.

Nothing he said there was suspicious. Every defense wants to hit the QB as much as possible. It wasn't that they were hitting Cam, it's HOW they were hitting him. They were launching he let first targeting his head. That's like the single most frowned upon thing in football (supposedly) and they did it time and time and time again with no penalty.

"we wanted to put a helmet" is not suspicious? 

It is one thing to hit clean and hard enough to hurt, that is the game. Using your helmet as a weapon is not.

No, it's not. "Putting a helmet" or "putting a hat" on a guy is standard football talk. It isn't illegal to hit a guy with your helmet. It's illegal to target a guy's head and thats what the Broncos were doing all night long.

After that 3-person gang tackle that came well after Cam tossed the ball, the Broncos knew it was open season.  The players are told to play within the game.  They were playing within the game that the REFEREES ALLOWED.  How can you spite a team for that?  We didn't play with that aggression [however noble that may be], and we still almost pulled it out [who am I kidding, I'm surprised Gano was actually able to get it past the line of scrimmage].

Karma will comeback and bite them in the ass, their QBs are going to get it, hopefully its the same manner  as Denver's defense used to hit Cam in the helmet.

This is something I haven't seen posted but they clearly went low on Benjamin, not to tackle him as they didn't go for his feet, but to test his knee. I saw at least 4 instances where a Broncos defense attempted to take KB down by way of targeting his knee instead of trying to trip him up at his feet. 

I'm sure there will be gif's of it somewhere but that poo pissed me off as soon as I saw it.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
