Captain Munnerlyn speaks on Newton


Recommended Posts

The article's a little old (about a week), but I searched the forum and didn't find it, so I thought I'd post it.

Munnerlyn worked out with and was impressed by that rookie quarterback, former Auburn star and No. 1 pick Cam Newton.

"He's a great kid, a great guy. He works hard. I'd say he's a workaholic," Munnerlyn said. "I didn't think he could throw at first, but I was wrong. I watched him in the 7-on-7 drills and he looks great. He's a big dude and a great athlete. I hope we can make something happen with him."

Munnerlyn also watched Newton last year, including part of the Tigers' 56-17 win over his alma mater in the SEC championship game.

"When I met him, I said, 'Cam, why did you have to do us like that, man?' He said, 'Well, I wanted to come to South Carolina, but coach (Steve) Spurrier wanted me to play tight end. He picked Stephen Garcia over me.' I said, 'Oh, that's a good reason.'"

Thought that last part was funny.

I am officially off the Cam Newton non supporter list .. and have officially begun the fug Stephen Garcia parade arrangements full time.

Edit: Can't have a Captain Munnerlyn thread without me gentlemen .. you know that!

In Georgia, USC is referred to as "Carolina."

It's fuging disgraceful.

Well when talking about basketball UNC is referred to as Carolina .. I agree with it honestly .. whoever is doing better in their respective sport should claim the name when talking about said sport.

    • Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
    • Moton is a class act.  
    • Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
