Cam and checkdowns/screen plays...

Why do all of Cam's passes have to go for over 15 yards? Did Chud tell Cam never to dump the ball off or something? Is dinking and dunking against Chud's philosophy or is Cam just making things harder for himself by thinking he needs to get a huge gain with each pass attempt? I know it was all prevent defense when Anderson came in, but when he didn't find anything down the field, he just dumped it off to his running back and let him do the work.

Is Cam completely ignoring this aspect of the game? Is Chud not giving Cam an option to bail himself out when he can't find a receiver downfield? Is Cam just scanning the field and making only one read the entire time? Do option plays and checkdowns not work together? I would like some insight.

Idk, but the point that you can throw down the field accurately has already been proven so it's about that time to take what they give you. Whether is Olsen or a RB in the flat or a screen, whatever. I feel the offense has a lack of patience because of high expectations and mainly cause we're not 100 percent sure our D will keep points from going on that board

i've been shocked at how few slants we've seen thus far. they're a great way to establish a passing rhythm early in a game, and in a few of cam's excellent performances last year they started with a couple completions to underneath crossing routes or quick slants.

hopefully we will become more balanced as the season progresses.

Agreed Philly I wish we could find a healthy mixture of quick slants and short routes to get Cam in a rhythm and build some rapport early in the game with his receivers. Fact is, we just need to move the chains and points will come.

Get the run game going and keep a defense off balance and get them tired by having to deal with a punishing run game mixed with quick shorter routes. Then on obvious running downs burn them with the play action deep ball that Cam loves so much and has had success at.

I thought it was bizarre how the Giants were aggressive in their pursuit and rush against Cam yet we ran one screen as far as I can remember and Tolbert picked up a big chuck of yardage.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
