Tonight was Newton's best completion % performance ever in a preseason game 3.

2011 - 31%

2012 - 40 %

Tonight - 52%

Cam will be fine... worry about the OL. One that has Williams running at an all time low this time of year. Newton will be the same big play machine he has been.....and we are running the standard Rivera preseason plan of running a vanilla O that takes away all his comfort plays.

Cam is fine. He produced record offense here each year following those all important game 3's

Two things after I've watched the first half

 

- If we make it to next Thursday without adding a legitimate player on the OL, there's a dent perception wise in Gettleman's armor. I just watched our star QB get hurt because our "starting" RG missed an assignment because he's also the backup at LG and very clearly has no idea how the position works. Unacceptable.

 

That huge Lafell drop is also unacceptable.

 

- I've decided on willing to part with something important to legitimately address the OL. I feel strong enough about the rest of the roster that I believe we can make a run and it's worth making a move to insure that that crucial spot on the team does not hold us back.

Yeah dude. You of all people cannot make a thread like this. Either you think cam is going to be fine and the offense will still produce or you think gettleman isn't sold on cam and he's gonna be gone soon. Pick one

I think Cam will be Cam....put the team on his back and be a monster. Same ole, same ole

Do I think he has the pieces around him to be consistant and for the team to turn all these close games into wins? Not with what is around Cam currently. Weak cast around Cam will keep the O too hot and cold and too much on Newton....

Those thoughts don't contradict each other. No need to pick one. Cam will be the same guy he has been for the last 2 seasons.

The offensive line is a problem, and the reason isn't that they're getting manhandled physically, they're simply blowing basic assignments and playing like retards who have no clue what they're doing. Maybe it's the vanilla playcalling, but I'm definitely worried about the line calls.

 

As far as Cam is concerned I'd actually give him props for not committing more turnovers under the kind of duress he's been under.

    • Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure. 
    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
