"Like on top of a snow cone, what a touch by Cam"

Better view of this play here at this angle. Look at Cam looking off the safety for quite a while, makes this possible. This is something he was not doing the first three games of the season. So glad Cam got his groove back.

On second viewing of the video I didn't even watch Cam and wanted to focus on how Larsen did. I (being an amateur football analyst at best) was amazed with what Trai did on this play. He first stonewalled his man who started sliding inside. Turner then seemed like he handed over the defensive lineman to Larsen like the defender was a note being passed in class. Then, without ANY hesitation or thought needed, he immediately turned to D. Williams and gave him the 'I got you bro' salute and helped secure the edge. I don't know if this is common practice on offensive lines or not but seems like a hell of a play for Turner.

The catch was decent, but I can assure you that throw’s elite.

I think watching it in slow-motion underplays how hard it was for Benjamin to look over his shoulder, watch the ball into his hands, and get two feet in bounds, while holding onto the ball all the way to the ground. In real time I was 99% sure he had no shot of catching it and getting his feet inbounds.

However, a discussion over which part of the play is better is always a good discussion in my book! It took two amazing efforts to get this touchdown.

The play was just beautiful. The OL blocked well providing a clean pocket, KB got outside leverage but left enough room on the sideline to give Cam an window to put the ball on his outside shoulder, Cam threw a beautiful ball and KB made a beautiful catch. 

This is the type of play that makes people say there's no defense for a perfectly placed pass because their really isn't. Nothing the CB could do here.

Happens quite a bit.  This is why we always talk about defenses typically being ahead of the offenses early in the season...offenses take time, and practice to learn each others tendencies, timing, drop depths, etc.....

The longer an O line can play together in a season, the better they will be.

It doesn't hurt that Trai is just flat out good.

    • I just don't think some guys have it. Darnold has the panic gene. I don't think there's any fixing it. He looks really good as long as the play develops as drawn up or if he gets pressured immediately and has to go to his check down right away. It's when he has decent protection and his first read isn't open and he's standing back there in the pocket with that panic slowly building. That's when he does disastrous poo.
    • based on the QBs drafted #1 comparison thread, he’s right where he should be. if your expectations were to have a rookie lead us to the playoffs without an OL and WR corps, maybe your expectations were a bit off.
    • at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.
