10 Photos That Captured The Future

Sometimes a photo is a snapshot of a moment, but sometimes it is a glimpse into the future. 

 

 

Here are 10 photos of the 2014 Carolina Panthers Training camp that have somewhat of a different meaning today.

Cam Newton struggles to get situated as he is protected by Amini Silatolu and Nate Chandler. Silatolu and Chandler both ended the season on IR. Both were replaced by players who out performed them. (Remmers and Norwell)

Then Special Teams Assistant Bruce Dehaven has been promoted to Special Teams Coordinator, replacing Richard Rodgers. I remember being impressed with Dehaven's demeanor throughout camp. He is hands on and vocal.

Bene Benwikere stands confidently in front of Charles Godrey and poses. Benwikere finished the season as one of the highest rated corners in the league as a rookie. Godfrey was released after failing to perform at nickel adequately.

Jericho Cotchery signals towards Brenton Bersin. Berin rose above many others in camp and contributed last season with key first down catches. Bersin did struggle in punt returns, but in all fairness he should have never been put in that position.

Deangelo Williams embraces Greg Hardy. At the time, no one knew Hardy would only play a single game in 2014. Both Hardy and Deangelo are unlikely to be on the Panthers roster in 2015.

Cam Newton receives encouragement from Ken Dorsey after a rough practice. Cam Newton had a rough year, literally. He was roughed up more than any other season due to inadequate line play early. How he is feeling in this photo must have continued well into the 2014 season.

Derek Anderson and Kelvin Benjamin develop a chemistry. Without this chemistry, the Panthers could have lost at least one game this season (in Tampa). Getting the backup QB snaps with the starting wide outs is never a bad move.

The Panthers face a March without a left tackle. If they allow Byron Bell to become a free agent, there are left with literally no one that could adequately protect Cam Newton's blind side. 

 

Corey-Brown-Cam-Newton.jpg

 

Cam Newton celebrates a touchdown with rookie Corey Brown. Brown emerged as the Panthers only deep threat this season and provided two much needed touchdowns late in the season.

Luke Kuechly intercepts a Cam Newton pass. Kuechly's interception against the Bucs sealed the game and kept the Panthers in the division title hunt. Without it, the Panthers could possibly have missed the playoffs entirely. 

 

 

There you have it, 10 photos from training camp 2014 that have a different meaning today. 

 

As always, I will be covering the action through the lens again in 2015 and providing even more extended bonus content to the All-Pro section.

So I noticed you've started referring to him as Corey Brown instead of Philly Brown, any reason for the change?  Does he prefer Corey now?

 

He's always preferred Corey and has asked people to call him Corey from the beginning. Gettleman is really the only person on the team who does, though.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
