I have yet to see Terrace Marshall body catch anything. Dude is all hands. 

The one thing I didn't pick up on when I was a young Draft enthusiast was the importance of contested catches - my evaluations of WRs were way off. 

Now it's the #1 thing I look for in a WR prospect. Marshall has it in spades.

at the end of the video he slaps Ibe's helmet like good job, or am I miseeing this? 

I think he was pointing in his face and yelling at him because he waves for the stretcher.  I will watch it again from your perspective...I think he was upset about the hit because the hit was a penalty and had nothing to do with the outcome (dropped pass).  Safeties in today's NFL are coached NOT to do this very thing.

Yeah, ive watched a few times. Im having trouble getting a clear cut view of what happened based on the angle. After watching the video about 8x, there is only one player on the field that responds to the hit like "Oh poo" and I think its Dan Arnold (or thompson). Everyone else are non emotive. 

We will find out though. Sucks for Kirkwood.

He is 100% screaming "JT GET THE F OFF THE FIELD" Followed with a hand motion for the stretcher to come out.

how in the hell do you hear that? haha. Im wearing $500 headphones and running dolby atmos... I think i hear someone saying "fuging" but even that is a stretch. 

I can see the hand motion beeing bring on the stretcher, but I feel like the coach would have prioritized calling for a stretcher before yelling at a player...

I think you saw the waving for the paramedics as the slapping of the helmet.  But the coach seems pissed before that moment. He had a better view.

I see the shoulder lowered and he seems to enter the hit from the side--trying not to have helmet to helmet contact, but he was trying to hit Kirkwood.  The first day of pads makes people hit hungry and they crave the contact--maybe that was it.

Revisiting this. How crazy is it that when we were growing up coachee would be hype in this situation. Wild how much the league has learned from the past.

My coaches frothed at the mouth over this kind of hit.  I am not sure that he knew Kirkwood was hurt until he saw that he was not getting up, which explains the reason he did not call for the stretcher/paramedics earlier. We will hear about this later, I am sure.

Looked like kirkwood was tackled at the legs and as he was falling forward Ibe came through and cleaned him

He is taught to pull back, but look at this from Ibe's perspective:

He is trying to make the team against the odds, so he is pressing to make a play. 

It is the first day with pads on, which makes players itch for contact after 7 days (or so) of pretending.

Perfect storm for a play like this...he will remember this decision the rest of his life...hope Kirkwood can't say the same.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
