I like David Newton so I'm not pointing this out to bash him.  But he is a converted NASCAR reporter with limited NFL creds.  I thought it would be interesting to compare his ESPN pre & post game articles with the Patriot guy.  Night and Day.  

 

Again, not so much bashing DN as being impressed with Mike Reiss

No less than 14 or more in-depth blog reports and video with snap-counts, strategy, multiple player, coach and opponent quotes, just the whole nine yards.

 

 

Compare to Panthers coverage by DN and ESPN

 

First, not in blog form but includes a decent write up with Hardy, Bell and Jones quotes and some info   http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/8187/panthers-hardy-we-have-work-to-do  

 

but other than that gem Panther fans could just feast on a short, standard W2W4 piece yesterday

 

 

From the snap counts by Reiss (if accurate) it appears their starters only played one half except for the starting OL which was closer to 3/4's.  My local affiliate lost the feed for 30 minutes or so but it seemed as though I saw a  lot of their starters deep into the third.

 

Again, not surprising we get basic coverage but impressed by the work of Reiss.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      there seems to be a change or two in his personnel preferences.  For example, the safeties.  Another example:  the smallish NTs are out and 330 is back!

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.
