Cam on DP Show this morning


the butch

Recommended Posts

The other day Dan Patrick had Luke on, and today was Cam's turn.

 

Here's the tl;dr version:

 

-Arrived 15 minutes late.  Previous guests included Jimmy Graham, Darius Rucker, and Erin Heatherton

-Brings ONE (1) Under Armour shoe

-Asked why he only brought one--said the other got stuck in the mud outside, a nod to DP's western-themed broadcast set

-Asked about bad weather--said you just have to psyche yourself out, and get over it; accuracy is tough on both short and long passes

-About avoiding Sherman--just gives props; said he stays over the top, smart player, that he's like a cat.  Says he worries more about Kam Chancellor

-Asked about the alltime moment where he got-got--said his rookie year against Arakpo (sp?) he was blindsided; commented about the 3-4 defense giving them trouble [as it still does] and the OT missing the block.

-Ask about the alltime moment he got someone--said it was the block on Lance Briggs this past season.  Briggs didn't see him coming as the ball reversed field.  Said he launced all "255 I have at him."

-Asked about biggest player he's played against--said Julius Pepper

-Voice has never cracked at LoS

-Asked about embarassing moment--said his rookie year where he lined up behind the wrong OLman

-Asked about LoS adjustments--said they keep them basic; doesn't try to be Peyton Manning.  Brady and Manning are in a league of their own, and he's just trying to be the best Cam Newton

-Brady dresses better. DP says he needs a wife.  Cam:  "Heeeey."

-Re: cadences--said he is inconsistent; compares himself to Luck, who's always very consistent.  Says OL just need to listen for that, "hut," and don't worry about anything else

-Asked about mics on the field--says mics should not be allowed b/c listening to calls/audibles gives too much of a competitive advantage

-Re: Manning's LoS adjustments--said he needs to practice his fake calls with WRs

-Under Armour plug was weird.  Talking about that shoe, "In all respects to people's joints and bones, UA's new shoe helps perform better."  WAT?

-What he learned today [a DP Show wrap-up]: 1. needs to improve dummy signs 2. he's envious of Manning and Brady [joking] and 3. he needs a wife

He's so bad at interviews.. I hope his teammates make fun of him all the time for it. He needs a speech coach. He tries way too hard.

It's funny that his response for the bad weather question was, "you have to psyche yourself out"

I have this ball signed by yogi Berra. You should look him up.

This was one of the best interviews I've ever seen Cam do. I legit laughed out loud a few times. Apparently he was very impressive on the Rich Eisen show as well, as the show's producer tweeted "Cam Newton. Impressive.".

 

He'll be on Jim Rome today as well.

 

(secretly hoping for Rome to piss him off and Cam to go Jim Everett on him)

    • Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!  
    • Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has. 
    • It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
