Alphadawg7 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I get the QB's were all fun to watch last night, but to me the most impressive performance of the night was Kelvin Benjamin and he isnt getting much buzz today for some reason. I thought that was about as good as he has ever looked. First preseason game isnt something we should over value, but he looked as explosive as I have ever seen him, but more importantly he looked like has a real fire in him this year that I have never really seen from him. Something seems different about him. Don't know if its because he is putting more work in...if its his diet change...if its because of his contract year...because of what happened with Cam before the game...or what...maybe even all of the above. But there was something there yesterday that I thought has been missing from him. I loved trading for him, but I was also looking at him as a guy who still had to prove he is worthy of being a primary target. Yesterday, he made that first step to live up to camp hype and came out to show he wants to be a top WR in this league. Hope thats the guy we keep getting each week, and more importantly, hope he can stay on the field. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Contract year. Expect his best performance ever. I am puzzled as to why he dismissed Cam during warm ups. Maybe Cam was looking for some reconciliation? I guess he sticks by his comments, for whatever the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Really wish I knew what was said between he and cam. I thought KB came off as a schmuck to be honest. Great performance though.

If someone that consistently mistreated me in the past tried to shake hands for the cameras I wouldn't be having it either. Them again, KB might just be being a big baby. Tough to know what’s transpired between them in the past...if anything. Both ended up looking like douchebags though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIZ Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I get why Kelvin acted the way he did. Same thing happened to me. Freaking moron, ass, bully, etc. from high school tried being my buddy a few years after graduation (30+ years ago mind you) and I wasn't having it.

GunnerBill Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 A healthy and motivated Kelvin Benjamin with a point to prove is a major asset to this team because he is the only receiver we have capable of a 1000 yard season. Keep him at it like he was last night all year and we might have something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd1 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) The video shows KB talking to another player and Cam walks up and "dismisses" the person KB is talking to. That is a BULLY move. KB would not shake Cam's hand or capitulate and thus turned and walked away. WHY does this make KB look bad? How many here would "bend over" in public to someone you are having a tiff with. Lord knows why KB is really mad. May not even have to do with football. If Cam really wanted to "mend fences" a private meeting would have been where to begin. I think Cam was pulling a Bully move.

JerseyBills Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Hey physically looks night and day from last year since OTAs. With his size , he can be such a big time weapon in the right scheme and I think Daboll is going to elevate his game with this scheme. He deserves a ton of credit for playing with that injury last year and grinding all off season to get back to 100% You can see him playing with a ton of confidence and if he stays healthy is a legit #1 ... Again, his size makes him almost unguardable if the ball is placed in the right spot and we got a taste of that last night , as KB absolutely shredded a Car secondary that you know had some extra incentive to stop him after the Cam and Carolina comments but KB made shredding them look easy!!

I don't advocate censoring people, I just brought it up as a point of discussion. There seems to be more clauses trying to be added in recent contracts. I think the strangest one this year was the Bears rookie LB being dinged if he was suspended for leading with his helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Yeah, I got the impression that Cam wasn’t addressing KB in a very friendly manner from his body language, gestures and then the way he continued to follow Kb around the field even as he turned his back to Cam. If it is indeed the case that Cam was being confrontational, i applaud KB for walking away. But without know their history or what Cam said when he walked up to KB, it’s all just speculation as to who may have been in the wrong last night.
