Something we lost in all these happy feelings. Cam has consistant short and medium accuracy now.

Something I remember Cam struggling mightily with for his first two seasons here was the short and intermediate throws which seemed to more often than not sail on him. His deep ball was gorgeous and deadly, but I think something teams game planned for in year 2 was taking away that deep ball and making Cam beat them short.

 

Well, he's doing that, but what is amazing is how much he has improved his short yardage accuracy. I remember him over/under throwing smoke routes at the line of scrimmage, now he is hitting them on the money consistently.

 

Does this mean we will soon see defenses forget he is deadly in the deep passing game and start calling Cover 2 or man routes which could lead to a resurgence of his deep passing early in his career when he was a rookie simply due to looks opening up?

 

Ted Ginn Jr. was wide open one on one and a streak route last night and simply failed to catch the ball. I saying, could we see more of that?

I have also noticed a significant improvement in Cam's accuracy.  If he keeps this up, we are going to be tough to beat.  The absence of the short passing game bothered me in the previous 2 seasons when I saw what RGIII was living off of.  I think and hope that it is fixed for good now and we have a much more balanced attack that will lead to longer drives, more points and more rest for the D which will only help them to be more dominant.

Improved o-line play allows Cam to be comfortable. 

 

This interns allows for Cam to concentrate on the play at hand, his footwork and his throwing.

 

Question?   Has his improve accuracy become muscle memory or will his bad habits return if the o-line allows to much pressure to get to him.

 

At some point he wil be tested in the next game and then we will see. .

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
