Kam was ready to take souls last night, but............

SpokaneHawks · Aug 26, 2016

Kam was banging last night, but it almost looked like he was a bit to aggressive? He made a point to hit hard and I'm not sure that rookie RB wanted to take another of those hits! I'm fine with Kam being the enforcer as long as we complete the tackles, heck maybe he was just happy to be hitting again!
BTW, where was Browner? Did he sit this game or were the naysayers right and his best years are behind him?

Timberhawk · Aug 26, 2016

Good points on Kam. Browner played in the 4th with the back ups. Maybe that says something?

Overall it was nice to see the team play better. Still nervous about the long snapper. I know that's being discussed elsewhere too.

Yeah he was laying the wood alright.

Unfortunately Elliott bounced off most those hits and got more yards after initial contact. Credit Elliott for being the real deal, but would like to see kam wrap up more often

Zeke got (as crackhead Michael Irvin used to say) "blowed up" on the bogus penalty play on a tipped ball.
The NFL is over protecting their new "Golden Boy". Jerruh is going to run that kid into the ground.

I didn't think it was a penalty either, until I saw the replay. The ball was clearly low and way behind the receiver, and was uncatchable. In today's NFL with their emphasis on player safety, that is going to be a flag every time. Kam later said the ball was tipped at the line, and he's probably going to have to appeal a fine and they'll see that.

Not too worried about that play. More worried that Elliot actually trucked Kam on one play and broke several tackles. Our tackling in the preseason hasn't been sharp at all, including the starters.

It was great to see him out there. He and Elliot where getting into it. In the Oklahoma drill I would put my money on Kam.

I loved the way everyone played last night.

vin.couve12 · Aug 26, 2016

Kid had a nice spin move on that last one. I'm sure that felt good after the first three hits Kam put on him. Kam does need to wrap up though.

AROS · Aug 26, 2016

As I said in kearly's thread, Kam mentioned all this past week in pressers how badly he just wanted to go out and hit someone. I think that became his primary motivation where sound tackling was secondary (pun not intended). I'm all good with it because he was getting the dust off in a meaningless preseason game. Once the bullets start to fly for real, I fully expect to see Kam do his thing, including wrapping up.

Kam had already committed to the hit before the ball was even tipped; he probably didn't even see it. There wasn't even enough time for the refs to blow the whistle.

He was fine. It was his first game back and first real action since January. Your first time back coming off injury, you don't want to be super-technical, you want to bang around a bit and see how your body takes it.

Kam got trucked Bo/Boz-style by Zeke Elliott twice last night. This was not a game that anyone should be chest-thumping for Kam.

Sterling Archer · Aug 26, 2016

Kam did not get trucked. I have no idea why people keep saying that. Elliot did not get run over but it's not like Kam got blown backwards. I've actually seen that happen to him before so it's not like it's impossible. I think people are overhyping the fact that Elliot took the hits in stride.

Some people need to learn what getting trucked is.

I don't think they were over protecting Zeke specifically. The hit was overly gratuitous and that is where the league is being cautious. The Hawks were beneficiaries of a couple of those calls last season.

The boys will need to run Zeke a lot but they have Morris there as well.

Except the Bo/Boz thing was just Bo having a greater head of steam and falling forward after hitting and getting wrapped up by Boz. It wasn't anything near getting trucked or run over. Probably one of the most mis-remembered plays in history that somehow ends up more spectacular every single time someone tells it (and who probably never even saw it to begin with).

Elliot is for real I feel bad that Dallas will run him into the ground though. Even the Rams are doing their best not to do so with Gurley.

Uh no.

Credit Elliot for taking the hit, but a trucking? I was laughing when the Dallas announcers were filling their fans heads with that nonsense on the broadcast.

chris98251 · Aug 26, 2016

Kam went high and more straight up on him, if he would have led with his shoulder and thru him it would have been a decleater, Zeke was there to deliver blows as well, give the kid credit for punching the bully and getting up and walking away. We will see if he lives by that technique or if it was just to prove a point, Walter Payton played that way his whole career.

hawksfansinceday1 · Aug 26, 2016

Penalty call on Kam was total shit.

Seafan · Aug 26, 2016

When I hear Zeke talking he sounds like Ricky Williams. Then I heard he was seen in a Seattle weed house yesterday. Jerry is concerned but said the team will take care of that.

12thbrah · Aug 26, 2016

Kam even said they had no game film on Zeke. I'm sure if it mattered they would focus on how to tackle him better next time.
