Cam texted Oher year ago "I need you here"

Just a tidbit from Cams press conference, says he texted Big Mike a year ago and said " I need you in Charlotte". He then followed up when asked about it "there is a difference between wanting and needing, I needed him here". The difference that guy has made has paid off in spades. Guess he was sick of getting killed with B.B defending his blind side, decided to take it into his own hands.

I love all the comments calling for the NFL to punish Cam for tampering. I have never seen so much salt in my life from 31 fanbases.

There is a fine line between salt and the cold icy fingers of reality creeping in that Cam is a fuggin beast that is about to rule this league with an iron fist.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

The day we signed Oher, there were cries of "worse than Bell".

Nobody says that these days.

I was saying that he HAD to be better than Bell.  But, it was not a ringing endorsement.  Boy was I wrong.

Also....give me back my T.  haha

Here's a quote and article:
 

Quote

 

Newton said today that he started work on Oher a year ago, before free agency officially started, urging him to consider signing with the Panthers. Newton said his pitch to Oher was the hardest he’s ever worked on trying to convince a player to sign with the Panthers.

“With the free agent pool, I’ve sent texts out before, called guys and said, ‘We’d love for you to be part of the team.’ But Mike was different,” Newton said. “I didn’t say, ‘I want you to be here.’ It was, ‘I need you.’ That’s different. Want and need are two different words, and that’s what I used in that text, along with other explicit words before the ‘need.’ And I think he got the feeling from that.”


 

Cam, spoke to his Brother Cecil, a former Baltimore Raven (where Oher played) as well.

Guys lobby with each other all the time... absolutely absurd. How many times do we hear "So-and-so was talking to so-and-so at the Pro Bowl about how they need to come to their team"?

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
