 Why ?

Because hardly anyone comes back the next week after a concussion anymore. It's very rare anymore with the protocol requirements. I mean just think back at the missed time for the concussions on our team the last 5 years. Missing at least one game is basically a minimum anymore.

I'm happy with his effort and he bounced back well enough but Joe Brady has to understand he does not have Cam Newton. Do not put your qb in jeopardy when you have a run game going like we did with Chuba and Abdullah.

I agree.  I was surprised by that move.

Normally, Sam would take those runs when we were in short-yardage downs but he ran him like he was a running back there.

That play call where he got rocked boggled my mind.  Sam had bounced back a little from the disaster that the last few weeks were so let's run him like a RB (while we have two of those doing well) and get him lit the fug up one play after he got forearmed in the head already.  Knowing full damn well that PJ fuging Walker is the only other option on the roster.

Wut.

I hope he heals up quickly - he absolutely played his face off.

DJ was the only receiver on the roster to have a catch for positive yards. That is not going to work on any team that's not the Falcons. 

like with all the issues on the team, and Sam has made some boneheaded throws and i legit cannot figure out why his timing was so whack earlier this season

Our WRs cannot gain consistent separation. I do not know why.

Anyway on topic Sam was on target and on time today and made a few nice throws, and few that were dropped. His numbers don't really indicate his play today.

Really, REALLY impressed though with how he managed the game. He was make checks and adjustments very well and our offense moved very well against a Falcons team that was trending up.

Still a question mark long term -- he can absolutely develop and grow despite some people on here telling you otherwise -- but can he do it in a timely manner?  But this was a good bounce back game for him.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
