Week 15 - 4th Quarter Busted Play

[dldove77]

Perhaps this has already been covered, but there was a CMC run early in the fourth quarter Sunday that I believe was an option to pass back to Cam. If correct, it's a little disappointing that he chose not to pass back, because Cam was wide open with all eleven defenders on the other side of the field. Possible that McCaffrey just wasn't comfortable and played it safe. Maybe we'll see it again in the coming weeks. 

You can see in the first frame that he kind of pulls up and moves the ball to his right hand... we noticed from the stands that it looked like he was going to pass. Cam clearly starts running and looking for the pass. After the play he looked pretty disappointed that he didn't get it. Probably would have walked it in if CMC had thrown.

Never had any body language of throwing it back to cam, eyes were on Dickson

Agree he was looking to throw but not to Cam.  He was looking downfield the whole time but it just wasn't there.  Good decision on CMC's part.

But that might be an option to try in the future.  Cam would be wide open.

I'd like to see the All-22 if anyone has it. Cam's body language suggested to me that he wanted that ball. If you watch how Cam stops, then starts to run again, it sure looks to me as though he's running a route. 2:39 if it doesn't start there automatically.

I think the play was designed to pass to Olsen he wasn’t open.  CMC good decision

The design of this play was to get it on film so the next time they run it, it will be a throw back to Cam.

I would think just the opposite. Now that it's on film, teams will commit to covering Cam and that's one less guy who can tackle McCaffrey.

Cam has said he has the best hands on the team. He will get that receiving touchdown soon.

We're going to see Cam in this year's Super Bowl throw a TD, rush for a TD AND catch a TD pass. Mark it down.

At 40 seconds, why wasn't that a horse collar?

Saying he has better hands than our receivers isn't saying much...
