The impact of an massive infusion of hope. This team has grown apathetic. They knew they were going nowhere with Darnold at QB.

Amazing how Cam just even being on the same sideline makes everyone on the team play better. The team is believing again. You could just tell everyone had given up on Sam.

Cam has more confidence in himself and gets ticked when he (or something) screws up. He is 6'5 and 240 something pounds and makes a heck of an impression. He is always talking things up and when opponents talk smack to him or the team he responds in kind. Its a different kind of leadership than Sam's quiet lead by example (especially when the example is screwing up) that people can get behind. He is not perfect and has some character traits that may not be boy-scout quality, but football isn't about earning badges. Its about imposing your will on and physically bettering grown men (many of which are Nasty MFS). So Cam's better than anything else we have or anything else that's available right now for those reasons IMO.

There was an interesting shot toward the end of the game yesterday with Cam on the sidelines hugging teammates while the clock was running down.  You hear how big he is all the time, right?  But he's hugging teammates and he hugs this guy who is a good 4-5 inches shorter than he was and you're thinking, that's a big man right there.

Then you realize the guy he just hugged was Shaq Thompson.

Now I've met Shaq.  Shaq is not a small man.  He's a big dude.  But damn.  Cam?  Whew.

I'm "whatever" when it comes to PFF. I like it as a measuring stick, but not as the gospel...I prefer the eye test.

IMO, Elflein at C might be a decent move, moving forward. Still lots of time to figure it out, but if Moton does his thing and Elflein does his at C, I'd trust Christensen/Jordan at guard and adding a LT in the first round this year. 

It won't be confused with the Cowboys Oline, but pretty solid, IMO.

      How Will the Lawrence Trade Influence the Draft???

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Word is that Lawrence showed up and weighed in at nearly 400 pounds for his Bengals medical check. I'd find a reason to fail him. Blood type tested as bacon grease. Fail. We've all seen what happens when a dominant huge, explosive DT can't manage his weight. You're gonna age like milk. Looking like Kris Jenkins 2.0.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
