Whatever happened to Cam avoiding contact...

Recommended Posts

Cam used to be really good at avoiding big hits and awkward tackles by falling to the ground as soon as things got scary, but I think he's starting to get a bit reckless.  From trying to advance the ball last week with Sheldon Richardson on his back to attempting to out-muscle linebackers in designed runs today, I'm starting to get a little worried.  

 

I hope this trend doesn't continue because I've always admired Cam's awareness and decision-making in these situations.  I have no problem with him using his athleticism to break tackles, but I draw the line at carrying defensive ends on his back.  What do you guys think?  Problem or whole lotta nothing?

It's what Rivera would call a "calculated risk."

He has gotten really good at knowing when to slide and when to fight for extra yards. However, he is a competitor which is why you will never see him slide on a third down play.

It seems to me that most of the time he comes up gimpy or somewhat hurt is on sacks, not when he is outside the pocket and running around.

Just my observation, feel free to disagree... IDGAF

all of your posts are hideous man... really getting tired of it. talk football and quit being a douche.

All really? Glad you pay so much attention to me. I don't even know you, couldn't tell you one thing you've ever posted. Sorry im drunk still and thought the thread was dumb. Cams going to be cam. This is NFL football you can't always avoid big hits. Cam does better than most avoiding hits, but when he does take a big hit he's built to handle it.

You want somebody that avoids contact? Talk to Eli. I'm sure he'll curl up in enough fetal positions for you.

He's going to get hit. I think he's a more athletic roethlisberger, but Roethlisberger takes a lot of shots just as a comparison....

 

I do think it's something to be concerned about. Cam is starting to get dinged and he plays behind a suspect line....

 

You never see a Peyton Manning take the shots cam takes.

 

That because Peyton Manning isn't Cam. When it comes those QBs who are seen as "special" it's all about the team doing everything to protect him. When it comes to Cam, it's become a normal thing to try and ignore what the responsibility of the 10 other guys and try to find ways of everything being Cam's fault.

 

This what this kid is now dealing with in the NFL. Instead of fixing the real issues on a team and surround Cam with solid and consistant play-akers and protection like the "special QBs" in the league like Peyton, Brees, Luck and Tom, folks much rather go the immature route. It always seems to work with Cam.

    • This is a great episode I am soo excited for this season 😀
    • Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets
