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.

 

I don't doubt it and that must have been one to hear.  I may be overly excited but damn.  And since I have seen the reply over and over.  It is more amazing because as some have already said.pin point accuracy was also required.   I would love to hear what Olsen has to say about it.  Then again he has probably cause a few during practice.

 

 

As a bowler you have to get some revolutions on your ball to be very good.  Throwing a 16lb FINGER TIP bowling ball is similar to throw a football.  Get your tips in the threads and lifting at the point of release.  You can get some serious revolutions.  A football that is much lighter you can really rotate.

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.

Olsen have been the most consistent skill player for us on offense. Great hands and show up every single game. Very reliable player.

Catching the ball when it's rotating that fast is difficult. I like to think I have good hands, but because I wasn't used to throwing with real QBs it was tough to adjust. That's why Smith and everyone else has such a hard time on Cams short throws, not only are they really moving but if it hits your hands wrong then you more than likely are not going to catch the ball.

      So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
