I thought he was supposed to be smart or something.

The roughing the passer/intentional grounding one was especially brutal.

I've never understood why personal fouls can be offset by garden variety fouls. They should instead enforce both of them. But I need to rewatch the game to see how many of those hits took place when Cam was a runner instead of a passer.

The dirty ass Denver defense (DADD) didn't let you down tonight.

I believe it was, but that's the one that was offset by intentional grounding.

No, that was Stewart's.

Oh cool, even shittier cuz he was outside the hash marks on both Stewart hits.

In those clips they're replaying the same Stewart hit. Don't know if he had another one. And yes, he was outside the tackle box, bad call.

He'd be better with practice, but yeah that was not a good booth appearance.

Green Habit wrote:The Stewart one is obviously a foul.
The Marshall one is tough to see from that view, there's another angle out there where he's leading with his forearm but it's also not a complete view. I don't know if his intent was to go helmet to helmet but if he makes content anyway the intent doesn't matter.
The Miller one is one of those side to side helmet collisions that I don't think I've ever seen called. Maybe it should be, I don't know what the specific rules are on that. He did the same thing on his Super Bowl sack of Newton:

Way outside. Enjoy all the calls this year, champ.

I thought that was part of the grounding rule, but maybe I'm wrong? Or you are saying that the hit made the ball fall short of the line, which should not result in grounding at that point?
