Good stuff there.

Wide receiver Curtis Samuel got a taste of team drills and made a nice reception on a comeback route. An encouraging sign. The former second-round pick’s rehab from ankle surgery has gone very well. Here’s more on that from head coach Ron Rivera: “We’re trying to expose him a little more. Part of the rehab is getting him out there and doing the things that he needs to do to get himself healthy and ready to go. That was good to see. We increased some of his team reps early on and then shut him down. Hopefully tomorrow we can increase a little more or do the same thing.”

Newton’s nicest throw of the day came at the start of the first red zone perioe when he fired a strike to wide receiver Torrey Smith on a ‘Bang 8’ in the back of the end zone.

Another gem from Newton came in a later red zone period. He fit a ball down the seam and between two defenders to tight end Greg Olsen for the score. Newton helped himself to a little celebratory dance after that connection.

Rookie safety Rashaan Gaulden picked off an underthrown ball from quarterback Garrett Gilbert, who hasn’t made many mistakes

A solid outing for kicker Graham Gano who nailed every kick he attempted, minus the last one, which clanged off the right post from 52 yards out.

I like this on a couple of levels.

This is the second reported pick by Gaulden.  Absolutely tickled by this.

Not to diminish his performance but it's the second report of the same event from yesterday.

Thanks for the clarity and ruining my current state of complete disillusion and break from reality.

It was the description of "underthrown ball from Gilbert" which made me check that it was written 21 hrs ago.

If Samuel is healthy, this has the potential to be the best offense we've ever had.  There are just so many weapons that other teams won't be so quick to pack the box or have the extra man able to spy Cam.

If Norv can resurrect our passing game and force defenses to actually respect it, our running game with Anderson and CMC could be deadly.

Not going to lie, I'm liking the stable of offensive weapons we're giving Cam to work with, but more than anything else, I'm excited that we have a new OC.  And an established OC at that.  That fact alone has me more excited than usual for the upcoming season.

ugh looks like if the fg is near 50yds we will be keep punting as usual #smh

[Mr. Scot]

Apparently, they had a guest again today.

 

[Cam's New Arm]

They let Jerry drive the cart?

[Mage]

Will Cam speak to the media anytime soon? This has to be his quietest offseason by far. Not even social media presence by him, not that it’s a bad thing.

Hear you.

Gano did make some 60+ attempts last week though, so I hope his long range success improved enough and that Ron will have confidence in him.
