Points from Steve Logan on today's game

[raleigh-panther]

1.  Seahawks high and tight Safety play, Cam must look off that Safety with his yes vs. staring down receivers...said this high safety is nothing new, its done in high school and is very  basic and if Newton does not look that safety off, interception waiting to happen.

 

2.  Shula must have at least 2-3 explosive plays resulting in TDs from the team's top  playmakers (Newton and Benjamin) to have any chance at winning....he cannot stay the course all 4 qtrs., keep it close and then.....said Benjamin, 6' and gazillion inches needs to be told 'we are throwing the ball at your head and you need to catch it'.

 

3.  Benjamin and Newton will be the key...Benjamin must catch those passes...no silly drops...after 17 games he is no longer and rookie and needs to step it up...same with Cam, they need to execute and understand 'its one and done'.

 

4.  Highly complimentary of Cam and said his issue with footwork will show itself with a dropped left shoulder which in turn causes the ball to sail....said his lack of trust in the offensive line is causing these issues and that this 'muscle memory' must be trained out of him with repeated repetitions.

 

It was a very well done interview on 99.9 in Raleigh.  Logan, smart man, moreso than anyone I've heard, he gets it with Newton and that offense.
