camp tweets...so it begins

[Ruff]

This is the same Cam Newton who I don't remember any kind of spotting of his rookie year when training camp began (certainly not an interview until later in).  He just slipped through the cracks.  Wouldn't surprise me if a similar thing happened here.

 

I was at the first practice Cam's rookie year at training camp, and trust me, the fans knew he was there. He definitely didn't try to hide it either. the second he walked onto the field, the fans roared and he smiled and waved and pretty much took it all in.

 

But, he definitely didn't slip through the cracks that day.

@thegoldenchild He said he hates the Angels.

I didn't make it to camp last year, but I remember during Newton's rookie year there was a lot of speculation that the transition from college to pro was pretty rough on him at first.  People said when he left practices, he looked both mentally and physically exhausted.  When I visited, that was what I saw too.

 

Mind you, that's not unusual (especially for a quarterback) and I don't recall hearing any such things last season.

@thegoldenchild I grew up in socal and I happen to be a fan of that lousy angels team. That's all. Don't want to make this a baseball thread though. Back to Panther talk :-)

I am talking about media wise.  Newton didn't do anything media related once he arrived initially IIRC.  It took awhile before an interview with him actually happened and I don't recall hearing much about him, if any, arrival day and nothing until he came onto the field.

I was just hoping for a little pub. They showed a few other teams when their players first got to camp but I suppose we're not a large market team enough to get that kind of coverage.

How dare I think a channel called the NFL Network might actually mention our team. Foolish me.

 

 

I guess so because if your expecting news from a station that barely has the name Panthers in their mouth at a time of year where you have the NFL Draft or during the NFL season. Don't expect them to mention us when players are arriving to training camp. We are the Carolina Panthers fan we have to find our own information from places like twitter, or 10 years later from Joe Pearson.

A hooker/personal chef... Or a beat writer who isn't a total douche.

There are a bunch of pictures on Panthers.com if anyone wants to check em out...

 

A couple that stood out to me though:

 

Bruce Campbell on the left (and Garry Williams on the right), man that's CRAZY for an o-lineman!  He has to be like 3% body fat...I hope the coaching staff can get something out of him cause he is a physical freak.  I knew he killed it at the combine but I don't think I'd ever seen a picture of him.

 

 

Colin Jones - dude looks pretty freaking big for a safety.  Maybe not Laron Landry-big...but he's got the build of a linebacker and he runs a 4.3 40.  We never hear anything about him in terms of competition at safety though...so I don't know if he'll ever contribute outside of Special Teams.  But with that kind of size and speed it's easy to see why he's a Special Teams ace.

 

Wait...is it gay that I'm checking out our players' bodies?  That's pretty normal right?  As long as both hands are on the keyboard...

Bruce Campbell seems like he could be a nasty defensive linemen.

It is funny watching these guys getting ready for camp. Kind of like they are moving in to start college. Just look at Cam on that machine lol, These guys are having a blast. They are so blessed to have a job that they can have fun with and be their passion

[pilot2011]

Remember the good ole days when Jake would throw it up to Peppers in the endzone? I say we make Bruce Campbell a freak tight end to go with Greg Olsen.

 

Who's gonna stop a dude that big? The Gronk/Hernandez combo would be nothing compared to that. 

 

plus, I think Byron Bell is going to have a breakout season this year.

Keek is so Clark Kent like it's insane. The looks of a Rabbit breeder, capacity of a Wild Beast. Definitely gonna rock a 59 Jersey this year.

I'll be damned if Bruce Campbell isn't the first fuger I want coming off the bus when we arrive.  The man is intimidating as hell!!
