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.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
