It is the honest answer, and so would all good NFL linebackers. Cam wasn't clearly in from the LB's perspective. 

Agree, and I think Newton's hesitation cost him.

But even so, is that really a wise thing to say right now?

No idea what the hell Newton was thinking on that play. He let up and started to stroll in like he was already in the end zone. Happened once before with him against the Saints last year and he got clocked that time too.

RR on hit on Cam near goal line: “It’s a judgement call, but If I was playing, I would have taken a shot.”

 

i get what he's saying, and to be fair Rivera wasn't a dirty player, but I got a bad feeling this may not go over all that well with some folks.

Rivera's passion in defense of Cam's health is truly breathtaking.

Gives me the chills.

(That what you were looking for?  P.S. I was being sarcastic.)

Not really "looking for" anything.

I just think it wasn't a wise thing to say in the current situation.

Rivera's not the type to lie, though,  For better or worse, he says what he's thinking.

Admittedly, there are times I wish he didn't, like "They're still learning to play together".

It was a terrible play by Newton and I was surprised as many people here got as upset with the Falcons LB as they did. You can't allow someone to jog into the endzone, because they slowed down. 

What I will say about the play was the hit by Remmers on Jones afterwards is one of the dirtier plays I've seen all year.

This'll end well.

One does have to love the delicious irony of a Saints fan lecturing another organization on dirty play.

It'll go over just fine with NFL fans...and Remmers took up for Cam just fine by falling knee first onto the guy after the play. You can clearly see it in the gif in the other thread...non issue it was a football play...if you don't like that this isn't the sport for you.

You're a Saints fan. You're in no position to call out dirty plays LOL.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
