he was never close to going down 10 times. He was close to going down once, maybe twice.

No, I agree, with the writer. You're right in that Cam was never close to going down, but he just makes escaping pressure look that easy. Several plays started out with me thinking "He's going to get sacked!" I'd say about 10 times. But Cam escaped every time. An average QB would have been sacked at least 6 times in that game. Clausen would have been sacked 10, plus threw three desperation pass interceptions.

How sack-proof and fumble-proof Cam has proven to be gives me a stiffy.

We knew he'd be hard to bring down, size wise. But he seems to have the innate ability to keep one eye on the backfield and the other downfield.

That same "sense" protects him as he's running the ball. He seems to have eyes in the side and back of his head seeing the defense converge on him. And, when they finally do, he has the athleticism to (usually) avoid a direct hit.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
