in this case CJ was dropping back...same with fua's pick.

yeah i wasn't visualizing it properly. i had an image in my head of CJ beating his man and breaking in to the backfield to get his hands on the ball for some reason.

And Sorensen starts in late again...

Several near altercations at practice. Steve Smith & Captain Munnerlyn start to go at it. The Captain takes nothing. Beason intercedes.

Cam Newton picked off on back to back passes by Charles Johnson and Chris Gamble Tuesday. Good day for defense. And for rain.

i'm actually surprised smitty has been so laid back with the capt. even as a rookie munnerlynn was rising in smitty's back pocket and i saw more than one occasion at TC where smith was very much annoyed with him.

I like the chippiness. I experienced first hand how laid back training camp was last year. In some ways it had to be given that there were no OTA's or off-season program and the guys were just meeting each other and getting introduced to the schemes, but it is a good thing for camp to be more than just a happy-to-be there existence. For the first time in a while, there is some actual depth and guys are having to figuratively and somewhat literally fight for their jobs.

I don't want any outright altercations or guys getting hurt, but I think the intensity is a good thing. Not to say one necessarily led to the other, but the 2008 training camp was very intense (even before the Smitty-Lucas) incident, and that was the last time the Panthers made the playoffs.

I don't mind it if he's testing the windows and learning from it.

Learn from it and recognize when to pull down and run. You'll never learn if you don't fail a few times.

one trend i saw prior to that was success being followed with complacency. it was kind of a team culture thing driven from the top with foxy.

after that last loss to zona in the playoffs, it seemed that the team just kind of threw their hands in the air and gave up. 2010 was the bottom, obviously.

last year was all about getting the taste of the previous year out of their mouths. it wasn't about being great, necessarily...it was just do better and just getting used to each other (players/coaches/systems). this year they go in having an idea of what they are capable of and there is a standard of excellence and a hunger that hasn't been there in a long time, imo. i really hope this is the new culture. it seems to be the one that rivera and newton are forging for sure.

Defense always ahead of offense, or should I say it should be in beginning of TC. Its just read and react with them

Offense is timing and rhythm

[Proudiddy]

Everyone here knows I've been a Cam guy since BEFORE day 1, I just get concerned because I don't want him to regress or show any signs of it and give haters something to feed off of.

I mean, he's throwing TDs in practice too, but the picks by the DL and LBs are what bothered me.

Especially Fua doing it. And initially, I envisioned them as low throws that got batted up or deflected and picked off. But, from the description of the CJ pick, he ran in on a rush and read the play and picked it.

Then again, in all honesty, he could be working his own kinks out in TC knowing they aren't things he would explore in a real game. That's what I'm hoping. Just testing things out and learning from them as he goes.
