Swung by practice today...

I swung by practice today under the assumption that it would be held around the same time as it was last year... got there at about 12:30 and it hadn't even started yet. Walked down the path from the practice fields to the stadium and walking right towards me was the one-and-only Cam Newton... and he is gigantic. Keep in mind that I'm 6'6" and 297 lbs.

Didn't want to bug the guy, so as I walked by I just said "Hey Cam" and he looked right at me with a big smile and said "Hey buddy" in a very genuinely friendly way (I know, cool story bro). Before Cam, Peppers was the most physically impressive person I've ever been around, but Cam takes it... he's not human.

So anyways, I'm trying to figure out if the later practice start today will be a regular thing or if it was just for this special sponsor event they were having?

Anybody have any intel on what time normal practices will start this year?

I think that the vision of Peppers is wearing off.

Cam is a beast, but Peppers is other worldly.

Maybe, not taking anything away from Peppers - he's a freak, maybe it's because my mind is trying to tell me that Cam is a QB and he looks like a DE.

Seeing his silhouette coming at me through the tunnel was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen... I knew who it was the moment I saw him because nobody else is built like that.

Sounds like you could kick his ***

First I would have to catch him and there's no chance of that... plus you have to think very carefully about getting into a fight with anybody that has his size/athleticism combination.

The only experience I have to compare is throwing Juan Howard and Brian Mitchell out of a bar I was a bouncer in up in DC back in the 90's. I was doing about 360 lbs at the time and could handle myself and Juan Howard was a handful.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
