One Last Play Discussion - Cam Newton Sack

[Jeremy Igo]

 

Curtis Samuel wide open over the middle. 

Trai Turner's man applied pressure, causing Cam not to throw it. 

Matt Kalil gets blame for the sack. 

[SmokinwithWilly]

15' Cam would have taken off and probably ended up with a 8-10 yard gain. Something with him is definitely off. 

[Khyber53]

Matt Kalil will always be blamed for the sack. That's the second job of any left tackle.

Question for Igo.

Are the coaches explicitly telling Newton not to run?

Yep

[Cary Kollins]

Yeah this was not Kalil’s fault at all. Cam sometimes has the bad habit of going backwards when feeling pressure, as opposed to stepping up in the pocket or rolling out. Speaking of rolling out, that’s almost something we never see Cam do anymore. Dak won the game last night for the Cowboys by rolling out and finding his guys. Aaron Rodgers will make it to Canton largely from hitting guys while rolling out of the pocket. 

Awful tape from Sunday all around.

Sure fire way to pick in the top ten again.

Yep

If we aren't going to let him run, and if the OL keeps struggling on top of his struggles with his throwing shoulder, I'm gonna have to change my stance and say just sit him.

If we can't let Cam be Cam, then there's no point.

It’s easy, he’s thinking instead of reacting. He’s thinking too much, he needs to just play.

Can’t rollout when the pocket collapses on you

Of course, but there are many times Cam stands there way too long. Sounds like he’s over thinking things because the coaches are trying to “evolve” and Cam is taking punishment in the process.

[Peppers90 NC]

NEVER turn your back to the line of scrimmage especially in the pocket. A bad sign.

Yeah it’s hard to watch. In past years Cam steps right through the middle defenders and has a huge gain. That’s what makes him so special. The Panthers really are ruining the best QB they’ve ever had.

 2011 and 2012 that ball was going downtown. Now it's a sack.
