CJ has taken over Panthers' Instagram today. Some nice shots... https://instagram.com/panthers/

Very nice choice of GIF.

Observer columnists Scott Fowler & Tom Sorenson are not in BBR's Camp Twitter feed list, and they didn't tag 'em with a hashtag I was following, so I'm just catching up on a few of their tweets:

So only 7 tweets re: Greg Olsen Presser. 4 re: fight. 3 re: Oline comments. But hey, those 3 tweets re: OLine were S-W-E-E-T.

Wow... could it be true? Did he actually say "strength" and OLine in the same sentence? Apparently so! Max Henson ‏@PanthersMax 2m2 minutes ago Olsen says this is the best first-team offensive line he's seen since he's been in Carolina. "I think it's going to be a strength of ours." #PanthersCamp ‏@Panthers 2m2 minutes ago Olsen says this is the best starting offensive line the team has had since he's been in Carolina. "I think it's going to be a strength."

Woohoo. NOW we're talking football. And I like hearing what Greg's saying: Bryan Strickland ‏@PanthersBryan 2m2 minutes ago Greg Olsen says this is the best starting offensive line Panthers have had since he's been here.

Olsen up next ... maybe HE'LL talk football & not fights....??? NOPE, not yet. LOL. Black & Blue Review ‏@BlackBlueReview 2m2 minutes ago Greg Olsen: “I’ve never seen such a minor training camp storyline create such headlines.” Bryan Strickland ‏@PanthersBryan 2m2 minutes ago Greg Olsen says he's never known such a minor storyline turned into such a big headline during camp. Talking Newton-Norman of course.

Igo's tweet re: Cam's shirt just too good! LOL.

#PanthersCamp ‏@Panthers 4m4 minutes ago Newton's expectations going into Friday's preseason opener: "We want to win. We play this game for one reason, to win football games."

Yeah, it's been a quiet camp for him, but I think he featured in one or two of those videos one on one against CAP where CAP looked pretty bad. (Jeremy posted them recently - Sunday maybe?)

Cam at the podium for post-practice interviews. This should be good... Via BBR: Cam Newton wearing a "Rumble in the Jungle" shirt.

So it sounds like possibly TWO "committees" playing a position? RDE and WR2

And a few of the other reporters' tweets re: Rivera comments: #PanthersCamp ‏@Panthers 19m19 minutes ago .@RiverboatRonHC on yesterday's fight: “As far as I’m concerned, the situation’s over.” #PanthersCamp Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 18m18 minutes ago Ron had clearly moved on from the fight #PanthersCamp ‏@Panthers 15m15 minutes ago Rivera liked what he saw out of rookie linebacker @ShaqThompson_7 in practice today. #PanthersCamp Joe Person ‏@josephperson 14m14 minutes ago Rivera says second wideout likely will be handled by committee, even though Corey Brown is listed there.

Best thing about playing Buffalo? #Panthers Rivera says players not getting mad at each other. #Panthers Rivera says Josh Norman leaving practice field last always has been typical.

Oops, one more tweet before I leave for a break... Jeremy sets the record straight on trash talk today, LOL. Now we need Voth's side of the story. Jeremy Igo ‏@CarolinaHuddle 3m3 minutes ago Tons of trash talk today ***Between me and BBR

OK, I'm gonna take a break for awhile. I'll come back to add the post-practice tweets later, unless someone else can do it.

An update on fans at Training Camp. The previous record has been thoroughly shattered.... and they keep coming: VisitSpartanburg ‏@SpartanburgCVB 1m1 minute ago WOW! We hit 62,490 fans today at #PanthersCamp! Let's keep pounding! @SburgSports @Panthers

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 47s47 seconds ago That's a wrap. Incident-free practice. And as mentioned earlier, trash talking was noticeably absent.

I think there have been as many tweets about the "quiet" as there have been tweets about plays today: Steve Reed ‏@SteveReedAP 7m7 minutes ago Absolutely no trash talking today at Panthers practice. Very, very quiet. All business.
