This Is What Mike Shula Does With Cam Every Week

This is how Newton's basic work week looks:

Monday: Nurse bruises and review tape of the previous day's game, usually 2 1/2 to three hours with Anderson, Clausen and Shula.

Tuesday: On what is considered a day off, Newton and the quarterbacks group spend a few hours watching tape of the upcoming opponent.

Wednesday: Quarterback meeting from 8 a.m. until 10:45 a.m., plus practice, followed by more meetings and tape study. Optional extra tape study is available.

Thursday: See Wednesday.

Friday: See Thursday, only with a lighter practice and less tape study.

Saturday: Two-hour tape study in the morning. Another one-hour session in the evening.

Sunday: Play. Strike Superman pose after touchdowns.

Up to 30 hours a week. Anyone want to question Cam's work ethic now?

Read the Disturber comments section sometime :)

And yes, it's 30 hours a week just with Shula. Doesn't include practice/working out, etc.

Why would I read those comments? There is nothing to be gained from reading that drivel. Your message was posted here so I assumed it was directed to this board...

Why was his work ethics a issue in the first place again? Oh yes, because he kept being compared to Jamarcus Russel...That's it.:)

I don't think it had anything to do with J Russel, imo. Had to do with his past. But hey, let's just keep on going! :beatdeadhorse5:

not here to criticize him. i've been on his bandwagon for over a year now.

i think it's great that he's working hard, but he's doing what he should be doing anyway and not more than most people do on a daily/weekly basis as far as hours put in doing hard work.

i won't celebrate him for that anymore than the average joe should be celebrated for putting in 40+ hours a week. only reason it should be an issue is if he isn't putting in at least that amount every week.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
