Cam's "evolution"

IIRC...2-3 years ago Cam met with Mr. Richardson who advised him to take what the defense game him.  He talked like he was going to make that change but did not. 2015 happened and bombs away worked until the Superbowl.  

Critics have universally been saying that Cam cannot throw short.  Before now, I think he has not liked it.  I am sure he was "forced" to try it in practice in the past.  Most of this year he got no practice.

So, 1st few games this season....Cam was Cam...tried some short stuff.  Still held on to the ball too long waiting for the big play.  By the time he looked for the dump off...it was too late. 

Last week ( probably not coincidentally after getting a full week of practice for the 1st time) Cam seemed to get it.  He did not hold the ball.  Got it out to his receivers...short plays were good plays.  With one exception to CMC he was accurate. He spread the ball around.  Recovered from an early mistake and embraced the evolution. The result? A win at NE..never an easy thing, a great passer rating and the highest completion record he has had since when?

So, today's game should confirm that Cam is moving forward.  He has finally gotten it. If the Lions try to take away the short stuff, that should help the O line and open things up downfield. And now that Cam is a threat to run again...another worry for the D.

I only see this offense getting better, especially now that Cam seems truly on board.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!

      Inappropriate relationship with a team staffer, followed up with some stalking behavior, and ultimately a felony home invasion charge from a visit at her apartment that culminated in him threatening her life and his as well.
