DJ Moore blocking

To be honest, Cam didn't trust Moore to make that block as he was going into his slide 5 yards ahead of time not thinking DJ would put #30 on his back.

And Moore didn't even get a "thank you" series on the field for that block. Just like CJ Anderson never saw the field again after his TD.

When guys show up to play and do something well, give 'em a few more reps.

I noticed that too but he's been taught which he's been applying the last two years to avoid contact. Wether he makes that block or not he's done all he needs to on that play so no need to try to old Cam it and turn up the field running hard we've to many weapons these days get the first then get down untouched beautiful play.

Haha yeah, I noticed that too.  I bet he wishes he'd have held out just a taaad bit longer as it could've potentially been a way bigger play.  I bet they joked about it afterwards.  I definitely don't have a problem with Cam sliding early though after all the cheap shots he's taken.

I don't want Cam trusting anyone to make a block.  Slide and be safe.

I'd add that I think preseason caused some of us to set our expectations for Ian Thomas a little too high.

You can't expect a fourth-round rookie to come in and immediately be what it took Greg Olsen years to become.

I believe Thomas will get there, but give him time to do so.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
