Carolina looking to get to 3-0. If they do, they will be 1 of just 4 teams in the league to do so. Cam playing with ankle, rib and knee dings, looked great last week in his first action against a detroit defense that has otherwise been stout
I really did not think he'd be effective early on.. I thought a lot was going to fall on his shoulders with Steve Smith departing and that it was going to take some time. He's been pretty damn good so far.
Has almost exclusively operated in the pocket this year, and between the ankle/knee and a desire to protect his ribs he is never even looking to run. He is still dangerous but hes going in to battle right now without a full compliment of his weapons. This is diet cam newton. They need him to get healthy
When trying to draw post play personal fouls, are worse than the worst flops you will see on a soccer pitch or basketball court. That one from kuechly wasnt even one of the worst ive seen today.
Than the first two weeks. Between cams health, the hardy situation, the unaccomplished wr crew, a tough sked, sketchy ol, it just had the feel of a step back year. I pull for them, cam and kuechly might be my favorite offensive and defensive players in the league. I was pleasantly surprised by how they came out these first two weeks, particularly last week against the lions. But im still not sure I fully buy them in 2014. Love what they are building there bigger picture. And I could very much still be wrong about them this year if some things go their way.
4 for 4 early for cam. Panthers driving
that panther defense is still balling even without hardy
Play the whole field!
He's taking an extra second in the huddle.
flop - ( New Window )
No doubt, but it was well played during the chaos. Debateable if it's a smart play or cheap.
Gotta remember, Jints had multiple flops to stop a no huddle offense. Good football?

Jerome Simpsons kicking his legs in the air is glorious.
