Olsen's TD Catch

[DaveThePanther2008]

Don't know if any of you realize how hard that throw was that Cam threw.

 

I can wing a football.  Always have.  I can throw it hard enough that you can hear it going by (or so some have told me) but,

that throw Cam made was nothing short of a missile.  I came off the couch at how fast that ball was thrown.

 

You will see great throws and you will see some incredible touch on a football but I would dare anyone to show me a ball that moved faster and harder than that one Cam threw.

 

It had to be that fast due to traffic.  No one had a chance to react to that throw. 

 

For Olsen to catch that shows what a great tight end he is.  In traffic. At that speed.

 

Just an amazing throw and a more amazing catch.

That window is ridiculous tight, or shall I say there is no window but Cam create one?

It was a laser shot for sure..... I was impressed when Olsen didn't bobble the ball at all on that catch.

Not to take any thing away from Olsen but he didnt have a choice, either catch it or have it surgically removed from his sternum.

[Doyle]

I remember thinking I don't know if I could have thrown a baseball in there that hard.

On SC, Trent Dilfer was doing his "Dilfer's Dimes" BS and this throw was on there... he doctored it all up with flame coming from the back of the ball and the ball was thrown so hard that it was still on fire until Cam gave it to that little kid... according to Dilfer Cam used his super powers to cool off the ball before giving it to that kid.

Dilfer...... sounds like an insult.

This thread is dilfer.

I like it.

It really was one hell of a throw... could barely track it moving through the air.

Your probably right. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

I was amazed.  6'5" 240+ and he threw that son of a bitch harder than anyone I have ever seen throw.

 

Harder than Bert Jones or even John Elway.  (both had cannons in their days)

Olsen said in one of the postgame interviews that he wasn't sure if he caught it with his arms or his chest, it came in so fast and hard.

[PantherBoy95]

The accuracy needed for that throw was that of an elite QB.  One man on one side of Olsen, another with arms outstretched on the other side.  Where did Cam put it...RIGHT.ON.OLSEN.

[Chaos]

I'm surprised it didn't knock the wind out of him.  It would be like getting shot by a cannon if you caught it in the chest.

You can hear Cams throws from the stands. I've thrown with the QBs at ECU and you also can hear the ball leave their hands from the rotation.
