![]() or whatever, and the helmet came down on my eye. "And I'm like, 'I want to get a first down, but I want to bring this plane down as smoooooothly as possible.' I'm thinking all that, my man went low and I tried to avoid the hit and just helicoptered out of there. "Most importantly, I was thinking to myself, 'It's preseason. Newton said a lot of things went through his mind as he approached the defender. "I always worry about him,'' Rivera said of Newton, who has rushed for more yards (4,320) than any quarterback in the NFL since 2011. What to do? I'm just going to find a lot of ice on this off day and soak in it.''Ĭoach Ron Rivera would prefer his quarterback not go airborne, particularly in a preseason game, but he knows that's part of Newton's DNA. I'm not used to seeing myself feel like this. I'm still looking to find persons to send these invoices to, because I feel I'm responsible for a lot of people upping their swag, which leads into better game play. I'm the unincorporated assigned coach for swag on the Carolina Panthers. ![]() "I'm just teasing.''īut the 2015 NFL MVP wasn't teasing when he said the eye still hurt almost three hours later. "You should have seen the other person, what they had,'' he said with a smile. Newton said the last time he had a black eye was in middle school. "I just kept telling them, 'My eye hurts, my eye hurts.' It was as if someone poked me in the eye. "It wasn't no swelling by that time on the field,'' Newton said. He also was evaluated for a concussion but returned four plays later after being cleared. Newton landed on his helmet so hard after going up and over a defender at the end of a third-and-9 scramble that his helmet slid down over his left eye and left him with a shiner. Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton isn't ready to curtail his running, even if it gives him a black eye, as it did on the seventh play of Friday night's preseason victory over the New England Patriots. Patriots fans are hoping he uses it to his advantage come Week 1 of the 2021 season.You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browserĬam Newton earns shiner after stumbling over defender and landing on his helmetĬHARLOTTE, N.C. You can bet the comment section on the video above is packed with some negative comments. Newton is one of those guys who will be inevitably criticized for everything he does. I don’t dwell on what a person may say, what this person may say, she say, I just use it to my advantage and I feed what I want it to feed.” So I want to process that and make that fuel me. But that’s the hatred using me, not me using the hatred. When I sense or when I dwell on hatred, that’s the product that’s gonna come out: rage, anger. If the hate ain’t in my focus, I don’t feed it. “Simple,” Newton said, per Karen Guregian of The Boston Herald. ![]() Earlier in the week, he appeared on Whitfield’s Instagram account talking about the many “haters” and how he handles the criticism. ![]() Maybe not, but what it does demonstrate–yet again–is the former NFL MVP’s tireless work on his craft and his commitment to getting the kinds of results he and the Patriots organization and fanbase expect.Īs we approach training camp, Newton is beginning to get more vocal and active on social media. Does any of this mean Newton is going to come out and complete 75% of his passes with 35 TD passes and single-digit interceptions in 2021? The dramatic shifting of his point of view to deliver the ball accurately is also somewhat notable. In the throw we see in the video, Newton is throwing what would be over the middle in a game, but it is definitely more toward the right of his body, and into the area some have said he struggles to deliver the ball. Some have pointed out Newton’s issues or reluctance to throw the ball to the right side of the field. There is usually a method to Newton’s social media posts, and the pivoting drill was probably not a coincidence. Newton’s personal QB coach George Whitfield has worked with Newton throughout the offseason on sustaining good habits in this area of the game. Most of the issues are tied to his sometimes faulty footwork. Most who are aware, and who offer analysis beyond the superficial hot take have pointed out the key to some of the inaccurate passes Newton threw during the 2020 season. A post shared by Cam Newton is something else you might recognize from the video as well.
