He only played nonchalant in the Pro Bowl when almost every other player there was doing the exact same thing. He wasn't during his offseason work, preseason, or the regular season. Also, Peyton Manning isn't a rookie and threw more INTs and threw for less yards than Cam did when he was one.

He is training with Chris Weinke at IMG again this year working on his throwing mechanics and film study and he broke NFL records as a rookie. I fail to see how he could regress if he keeps working this way...

A full off season for DC's to figure him out?

Otah really must have been on his way out, considering what they got for him. At least Bell can make it through a season.

There are always great camp updates at carolinahuddle.com.
Here's one that was posted about last night's practice.
Also, Otah trade to Jets is now officially voided. Bet he'll be cut soon.


Team Drills:
-Padded practice but still very little hitting, no big hits
-Was hard to follow "1st Team/2nd Team/Etc..." at times they really mixed things up tonight
-Captain and Gamble did get the bulk of "first team" snaps
-On three straight plays Cam completed passes against the Captain...
-I'm sure someone tweeted Jared Green's bomb TD but the play developed really slow, would have been a sack
-Armanti has looked pretty solid. If only he had another 7 years to develop...
-Greg Hardy got pancaked by #73 Bruce Cambell on one play
-#31 Reggie Smith had a sack on Cam, no contact but he got there on a Safety blitz
-Cam threw a pick, the receiver didn't do him any favors but Gamble broke up the pass and Beason scooped the deflection. Cam ran Beason down and put a lick on him. Made me groan personally
-Kuechly continues to be in the correct position on every play. I remember Dan Connor's rookie camp and he was nothing compared to this guy.
-The Offense has been expanding on formations since the first practice. Saw a trips right, tons of motion, even Greg Olsen lined up as a wide reciever
-Tolbert has been playing the "Shockey Role" more with the 1st team than Gary Barnidge
-They continue to work on the read option and Cam always makes the correct call. He froze CJPAYDAY and handed off to Stew for a big gain
-The offense caught the D in a blitz and ran the perfect screen play for a TD, Stewart the receiver.
-Cam's throwing is an afterthought. He's accurate on almost all of his throws, the receivers just need to catch those rockets. Reminds me of Favre in the 90s.
-#7 hardly gets any reps. When he does it's usually embarrassing. Not worth talking about.
-Greg Olsen made tons of catches tonight. All beautiful balls from Cam and Derek Anderson.
-I believe Brandon Hogan picked off someone tonight. Was hard to read the number with the dreads.
-At one point the D blitzed everyone, instead of throwing it into the dirt, Cam tried to escape the pocket and took a hit. Another moment that made me groan.
-Cam handed off to Pilares on a read option, he then pitched to Louis Murphy for the reverse. I don't think it would have worked in live hitting.
-Joe Adams had a very nice play where he sat down in the zone for a ~25 yard catch
-Frank Alexander was getting good pressure but hard to judge that kind of thing in camp
-I saw at least one 3-4 look tonight. Applewhite on the left and Greg Hardy on the right, had a bad angle for the 3 down lineman.
-Didn't notice Josh Norman tonight, may have just been my bad view but I never noticed him
-Darius Butler was getting 1st and 2nd team work a ton tonight
-#33 Tauren Poole dropped an easy one tonight, he heard footsteps with his back to the safeties
-Brockel got plenty of first team snaps motioning around and helping in protection
-Barnidge had a few nice catches but mostly in the 2nd team
-Several times the offense has motioned the RB out to go 5 wide. The RB then stays at the line of scrimmage for a quick screen pass, Cam never throws to them but there they are.

Line Drills:
-I didn't have a good view of these but I did see #99 Frank Kearse restrained, I think he got a little physical with Bruce Cambell but not certain.

Big Picture Observations:
-We are blitzing Safeties and Linebackers a lot more in this camp
-Motion and read option are big parts of our offense thus far
-Kuechly is light years ahead of most rookies
-The offense is winning most of the plays but contact is minimal. We all know defenses thrive on contact.
-Our running backs all look great, even the ones that won't make the team

Is anyone else getting frustrated with the lack of pass rush? Charles Johnson seems to be the only legitimate threat and thus, it makes things harder on the LBs and secondary because the opposing QB is getting too much time to sit back there and throw. I'm not sure if any FAs could be brought on board to help with this after camp cuts, but it needs to be addressed, or I have a feeling this season will mirror last season.

Calling him day-to-day. Rivera says it isn't a sprain. I don't feel super about it, but it could have been a lot worse. Tolbert got banged up on Sunday, too. That would really hurt to lose both of those guys.
How about those cuts? Dropped Harris and Mare. I like that, though I was interested when I saw that Rackers had been cut from Washington.
We cut Norwood, too. Hate to see that he didn't work out. I was excited when we drafted that guy. I just can't wait to see Ajirotutu cut. That guy is awful.

Lol at the effort and execution today. Piss poor in every facet of the game. Better clean it up quick or this season will go into the tank very, very fast....

I am watching this game and I have realized that every time a player is injured against the Saints it becomes questionable. Newton and the Panthers look very good so far today.

Yeah it was a good win. However, I am still very concerned about the defense. The offense was moving at will on the Saints, yet the D was still giving up far too much yardage and too many points to the Saints. I like where they're headed, but they have to get some of the tackling issues fixed immediately...

I gotta say that I like what Josh Norman is doing. He might end up being the steal of the draft. So far he seems to be a definite upgrade from starting Private Munnerlyn.
That Saints offense is so good, I'm just happy to escape with a win. This Thursday night game will be a good one.
