OK WOW LMAO at Meril fucking Hodge and his hate...

[CatMan72]

LOL, Hoge painted himself into a corner with his "expert" analysis of Cam.

[lightsout]

he backtracked on SportsCenter and said something like "well, they only averaged 2.7 yards a rush but the main thing is that they stuck with the running game."

he also used the very first play of the game as an example of keeping both TEs and RBs in to pass protect, while only having one WR running a route. he made it sound like this was the philosophy the entire game, which is total BS.

he gave pretty much everyone credit for the 422 yards, except cam newton.

Never mind that they ALL went out for a pass. I know both the RBs and at least one of the TEs did. Off the snap too, not delay routes. Hodge is a fuging retard who just does not understand the game of today.

how so?

[Cat'sGrowl]

Obviously Merril doesn't know what he's talking about, but to get off topic some...Stewy was running well. Really well. He was the hot hand and we stopped feeding him. Wonder why. Granted Cam's hand was hotter, but we really should've ran more anyways..

[mav1234]

Stew was doing okay, but other than that one run that was called back and a second big gain, he was getting stuffed a bit too. =| Cam was much more effective than either of our backs were imo - I don't think our offense lost this game.

[DRSundrop]

in addition to hating hoge for the obvious reasons, he reminds me of my boss. Never wrong, always dodges reality, twists everything around and knows absolutely everything regardless of any situation!

[whatever]

no doubt. not to mention the fact that the ball was on the 10 yard line. the play calling is usually going to be pretty conservative in situations like that, with or without a rookie QB that's about to take his first snap.

[Chaos]

I would like to hear Jaws break down his game yesterday.

[mav1234]

Since I'm without a TV and ESPN, could someone break down what Hoge's argument was without saying how stupid it was? I am sure it was, I am not doubting that, I am just honestly curious what bullshit he has come up with to explain it and it's hard to understand what some of you guys mean since I haven't seen it.

Im not sure what he said on SportsCenter, but from what I heard in the podcast he said Cam got a lot of help and that Chud and Rivera did a good job keeping him in a comfort zone by putting him in two TE sets as well as cutting the field in half for him. He also said the running game thing like I mentioned.

[mav1234]

yeah saw the running game comment earlier, thanks, was curious about sportscenter. obviously he didn't watch the game...

it'll be fun to watch him back-peddle when Cam has another great game.

[whatever]

from what i can remember, he said that the playbook was cut in half, only one WR was running routes and everyone else was staying in to pass protect and to keep Newton from having to go through his reads, the WRs did a great job of going up and getting his passes, the running game was great, and then he corrected himself and said that the running game wasn't that great but what was important was that the Panthers stuck with it.

then he went to the monitor to break down the very first play of the game and used that play to support his claim that there was only one receiver running routes on most plays.

[Udogg]

but they never ran the film. I was laughing.

[mav1234]

he's right about our WRs making good plays on the ball (save for like the last 4 plays of the game, ffffffug, and that's what they should do) but it's pretty obvious he only watched our highlights...

ah well, I'm fine with that. George Whitfield was having fun with him yesterday a bit, lol
