Willie M on no calls last night

Watching Total Access this morning, a lot of talk about the head shots Cam took and how the refs basically looked the other way. Willie was pretty vocal in his support of Cam, said its not an issue when Cam runs because he has to be treated like a runner, but he should get the same calls any other qb gets when he's in the pocket, said he doesn't understand why the refs treat him differently.

Im hoping Ron makes sure the League office gets plenty of tape to look at, will be interesting to see if anything is done to deter the BS we saw last night.

Only former players will care and maybe a handful of analyst that support Cam. ESPN as a whole will not give a FUG. Maybe a 2 minute segment on First Take before a commercial break and on to talking about how big Semens and Elways dicks are on a full moon during a cool summer night. Breathtaking journalism.

That Hardy hit on Palmer a few years back comes to mind... No where near his head, out of the pocket, clean hit... gets flagged

Somebody did the exact same thing to Cam last night, only they actually launched and Cam was inside the pocket... no flag.

It wouldn't bother me if I havent seen players get flagged multiple times because the tried to swat the pass away and their arm cam down across the helmet of the qb. They flag bs like that when it probably hurts the defenders arm more than the qb but let helmet to helmet hits go?? I know I've seen peppers get called for that on more than one occasion.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
