The INT's that led to the fight....

Prior to the fight, Cam Newton threw two interceptions relatively close to one another on the clock. 

 

First Melvin White picked off a pass that was under thrown to Benton Bersin. White was able to jump inside and make the pick.

Second, Josh Norman intercepted the pass that led to the runback and scuffle. I would love to tell you who the pass was intended for, but I am unclear. As you can tell ... no offensive player was near Josh when he made the interception, it was underthrown and the receiver was far left out of the frame.

As you can tell, neither ball was contested for or tipped. They were clean catches by the defensive backs that the receivers never had a shot at. 

This was the fuel for the frustration by Cam Newton and losing his composure for a moment. Cam, to put it simply, was having a bad day throwing the ball.

So is it his footwork that is causing these errant throws? I was hoping the ankle surgery would help correct on some of his overthrows.  I read one account that said the pocket was collapsing that led to the Norman INT. Maybe it's still a protection issue?  Or could have just been a bad day...

How had Cam looked as a whole, from a passing effeciency perspective this TC? I know the LT conundrum has lead to some hiccups and frustration,  but has he improved from what you can tell?

He has looked decent. Not as crisp as during OTAs to my eye, but now the pads are on and more people are in his face.

I'm furious that the national and local media is trying to spin this is a huge issue. Norman shouldn't of stiff-armed Newton, Newton shouldn't have shoved back, Norman shouldn't have taken his helmet off... But hey, both guys stood up for themselves and I'd be willing to bet my last dollar that Cam and Josh are fine with each other. Scuffles happen all the time.

It might be hard, but stop paying them attention

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
