"Watch this footwork," Rivera said.

In team drills, Newton takes a five-step drop and quickly delivers an 18-yard strike to first-round pick Kelvin Benjamin on a deep dig route, hitting the wide receiver on the proper shoulder. Next, Newton takes a five-step drop and goes through his progressions, working right and then all the way back to the far left, hitting Benjamin again on a sideline route. The entire drive is clean and crisp.

"Watch this here," Rivera said as Newton barks for tight end Ed Dickson to shift before the snap. "He's getting the guy lined up. A year ago, he wouldn't have done this.

"But it is his mechanics. They are so much better, his footwork is better and his decision making much better. You sit here and watch him and that is most interesting."

It's a few weeks old but it's a good read.

I like these paragraphs about Benjamin, with Cam talking.

 

 

The sooner things click for Benjamin — and the learning curve can be steep for rookie wide receivers — the better off the Panthers will be. Whispers are Smith was freelancing too much by the end. Benjamin has to learn the nuances of the pro game before he can be where he's supposed to be and on time every time.

"When it clicks for him, it's going to click for us," Newton said. "As soon as he gets that chip on his shoulder that says there is not a cornerback or safety who can cover me in this game, that is going to be the changing moment for us. That will be the point when it won't matter if he's double covered, man coverage or zone, just give him an opportunity and everybody else will be better off of it."

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
