RC: Was shocked McCain wasnt badly hurt and came back

A lot of posters here killed McCain. All I saw was a kid who didn’t give up and worked hard to improve himself. Sometimes you just have to let these players find their way. Today’s generation wants instant gratification. If you can’t catch a ball you can’t catch a ball, but being a Dback is a much harder position to learn and pick up
 
Arizona was also the team that chopped Tannehills knee a few years back
That was a clean play. Calais Campbell came up the middle w penetration and lunged at Ryan. It wasn’t intentionally a move to injure. He had no other play to make - dive at the QB while lunging up the middle.

Point is all these players know going after another players legs (wherever wherever) creates a much higher probability (chance) of injury -- and potentially serious injury -- than staying high. I mean that's just basic. Some OL coaches etc. really promote chops and D players rightfully resent it! I'd be totally OK if any "block" below waist was outlawyed.
 
I agree it did look bad and then all of sudden I saw he was back on the field. Also, I don’t think the Cardinal player that threw the block tried to hurt him on purpose. He even came over to McCain to see if he was ok.

Doesn't matter re intention. It's what he did. And it wasn't necessary.
 
I was livid when it happened. I absolutely HATE when I see those plays (even if we do it to an opponent) because they are so unnecessary in most cases. I also thought he was done, I told my wife "his season's over". It's a miracle he didn't get really hurt. What an idiot the guy who cut block, he was twce the size of McCain, what are you doing??
