Charles Johnson pics off Cam. Steve Smith gives chase.

And now gamble pics off a cam bomb intended for LaFell. Capt and Gamble had him blanketed.

Steve Reed‏@SteveReed_AP

Big Money picks off Cam. Nice play fading back off the line and jumping up to make INT. Gamble then picks off Cam on next play on bomb.

I'm not gonna lie, it certainly seems like Cam is throwing a lot more picks in camp this year... At least just in the first few days.

I hope it is just that our defense has gotten that much better and the offense has to catch up timing-wise and personnel-wise. BUT, he keeps getting picked by the d-lineman, that doesn't really have to do with timing or new players.

I was thinking the same thing.

[SauceBoss]

Anyone else concerned with the number of picks Cam has thrown in practice. Yeah I know it's practice, but does that mean he's not taking it seriously? Practice? Yeah it's not a game. It's practice. Practice?

he was all over the place in practice and preseason last year. some guys just aren't big practice players regardless of the work they put in.

no.

no.

no.

not a big deal. he's taking it seriously. so are the guys in coverage.

not something to worry about unless you just want to have something to worry about.

they are still getting into the groove of things.

I think these first few days are just everyone getting used to the sport again, getting used to contact, to timing. I'm not the least bit concerned about it. It wasn't until the first game of the season that he really looked good last year.

the last time any of these guys played in pads before yesterday was like january. it's going to happen.

Dline is dropping back in all of those picks.

defense is getting more creative. offense is finding their groove.

again, not something to worry about unless you just want something to worry about.

I've been concerned since the pro bowl. It's my #1 fear this season, since I saw that he had the potential to be that bad.

[SauceBoss]

I don't know man, it worries me that we havent even won a game yet this year.

Beason does a nice job filling the hole on a Cam draw near the goal line.

Carolina Panthers‏@Panthers

Highlight of practice, and possibly camp so far, was DE Charles Johnson picking off a Cam Newton screen intended for Smith.

[Floppin]

For those of you worried about picks - While certainly something to be concerned about, lets keep things in perspective. This is training camp, and specific throws and routes are being worked out. Cam will be making throws regardless of coverage, at times, just to work on a specific play. Cam's leash on full blown decision making will be limited to certain sets of defense v offense scrimmages. It's hard to tell the exactly what's going on via twitter. Some of these picks could be a poor decision by Newton while others were just throws that he was working on regardless of coverage.

It's not every day the Saints* oline "blocks" for him
