Good Article On Cam And The Panthers....


Keep Pounding

Recommended Posts

Rivera wanted to create the best environment to assimilate Newton quickly. He consulted Atlanta Falcons coach Mike Smith about the handling of Matt Ryan, Rex Ryan about Sanchez, and also Steve Spagnuolo, who was a Rivera staffmate in Philadelphia when Donovan McNabb was a rookie, and who coached Sam Bradford a decade later. The ex-St. Louis Rams coach, now in New Orleans, emphasized getting everything right around the young quarterback.

I thought this was interesting, that RR reached out to Mike Smith, Rex Ryan and even Steve Spagnuolo,

mainly Mike Smith, cuz he is a division foe...

Good read.

I would like to reiterate this:

Carroll kept coming back to ask just how the Panthers pulled it off. Ron Rivera addressed this with NFL.com in November, when the Carolina coach explained the divide between perception and reality on Newton. And now, Rivera reiterates that the Auburn offense Newton ran wasn't as simplistic as others thought. The real key was taking the training wheels off for a quarterback who was accustomed to constantly looking over to the sideline for calls.

Just pointing that out because this issue came up in another thread.
