One thing Cam needs to do when he runs

He needs to stop all of that unnecessary juking. There was at least three times where he could have powered his way to moving the chains, but fell short everytime because of that juking, causing him to fall flat on his face inches short of a first down. Cam, when you see the first down marker, run straight ahead and get the first down!

I dissagree. That juking as you call it is him avoiding power shots. I don't want Anyone getting a clean hit on my franchise qb and if that what he's got to do to not get hurt fine. See if you can make someone miss to get the first but dont go payton hillis. The kid already has a sore shoulder don't want that turning into separated. Point is if u can make someone miss and pick up the first on a broken play great. if not live fo fight another day.

I understand that, but if you look at the tape, he jukes a lot of times before the defender is even in his immediate area. Most of the time, he falls flat on his face because of it, probably because his body size can't handle the change of direction. It's just embarrasing to watch at times when he falls flat inches from the first down marker. Look at The Golden Calf of Bristol. Cam should take some notes from him in the running area.

I would agree about 90% of the time; But, in a game where nothing is getting done of offense and you NEED to get first downs just to get anything going, it is disappointing to see him slide down, like, one yard from the first down when if he had just ran straight ahead he would have had it easily. I know he did that at least once that I specifically remember.

Also, someone needs to teach him to slide. He looks like a floundering bull when he goes down intentionally.

i've never once been embarrassed watching our QB try to make plays

i'm more embarrassed by the fact that he has to do damn near everything by himself tho

Are you COMPLETELY insane?

Under no circumstances do i want my Franchise QB "powering" his way to being tackled. That is a great way to see him end up on IR.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
