Napsal: úte 25. zář 2018 7:54:10An optimistic Cam Newton says he's adjusting well to a new offensive scheme and boldly proclaimed it's time for the Carolina Panthers to "take back the division."
Wearing a "Change the culture" t-shirt and a "Keep Pounding" hat http://www.indianapoliscoltsteamonline.com/john-simon-jersey , an upbeat Newton was budding with enthusiasm on Saturday even after starting right tackle Daryl Williams went down with a knee injury earlier in practice.
In his first football-related interview in six months, Newton set a positive tone for training camp for a team that hopes to recapture the NFC South it won in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Carolina went 11-5 last season, but New Orleans won the head-to-head tiebreaker and took the division title.
Part of Newton's optimism surrounds the hiring of offensive coordinator Norv Turner and the addition of wide receivers D.J. Moore, Torrey Smith and Jarius Wright.
Newton said Turner has been "extremely easy" to work with and joked that his offense is "Boogie approved."
The 2015 league MVP said he likes that Turner is open to listening to suggestions about what plays may work best, even to the point to keeping the names of some of the predecessor Mike Shula's play calls.
"I think the onus is on (Turner) more so than us to take what we have done good and expand on it, rather than just ripping the sheets of paper up and having a this-is-my-way-or-the-highway mentality," Newton said.
Newton said it didn't take long to realize Turner has a high football IQ.
But he added that it's still a little too early to know exactly what to expect from the Panthers offense when the regular season arrives.
"I can't tell you that, (but) I know that the transition as far as philosophies has almost been as easy as anyone could expect," Newton said. "He is super relatable and is someone who has been around this league and been around a lot of egos and lot of different players and knows how to adjust. That alone makes my job easy knowing that he is a person who you can go to and say, 'This is how I feel about certain things.' And (he'll say), 'OK Larry Allen Jersey , let's find out how we can implement it.' He's not a guy who is so egotistical who says, 'No, this play is going to work versus this.'"
Turner has already talked about wanting to improve Newton's completion percentage.
Newton's has completed just 58.5 percent of his career passes, but Turner would like him to be above 65 percent.
"That's a goal of mine and it is certainly attainable," Newton said.
Newton said that means learning to accept what the defense gives him, even if it means short dump-offs over the middle and to outlet receivers.
"That has to be my mentality," Newton said. "We have a lot of guys who can take two yards and turn it into 20 yards, or more. But it starts with me and I have to trust those guys and get the ball to them."
The 29-year-old Newton said he's feeling healthy heading into the season.
That's a big difference from last season when he underwent shoulder surgery and missed all of OTAs and minicamp and a large portion of training camp undergoing rehab.
"It was very big for me making the proper steps this offseason knowing that I am full go," Newton said. "My body feels great and I always have to mention to TD (linebacker Thomas Davis) that I even look great. I am in a position where I am all smiles."
Newton also addressed new owner David Tepper, teasing that "I'm up for an upgrade" after seeing he paid $2.2 million to purchase the team from founder Jerry Richardson.
"The excitement is something we all should get prepared for knowing we have a lively owner," Newton said.
NFL owners will be presented 10 rules proposals at their meetings next week, including changes to the catch rule and to the length of defensive pass interference penalties http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/kavon-frazier-jersey , and allowing personal fouls to be reviewed by instant replay.
The competition committee and several teams are bringing the proposals, which will be reviewed by owners beginning Monday in Orlando.
Other suggestions include making permanent spotting the ball at the 25-yard line following a kickoff; adding fouls for roughing the passer and penalties against players in a defenseless posture as reviewable in instant replay; designating a member of the officiating staff at New York headquarters to instruct on-field game officials to eject a player for a flagrant non-football act that drew a flag; and limiting the allowable time for a coach to throw a challenge flag.
Included in a dozen bylaw proposals is allowing a player on injured reserve to be traded, and schedule adjustments for western teams playing in the East.
Redefining the catch rule is the highest priority, according to Troy Vincent, the NFL’s football operations chief, and Rich McKay, who chairs the powerful competition committee.
”We tried to simplify the rule with a three-step process,” McKay said Friday. ”Control, two feet down or a body part, and then anything that is a football act. It could be like Jesse James reaching for the goal line .”
The Steelers tight end had a likely winning touchdown catch overturned against New England, one of the most critical plays of last season. In 2018, if the new definition of a catch is passed Lane Taylor Jersey , it would be a touchdown.
”We got rid of `going to the ground,’ which was definitely causing some issues on these calls,” McKay added of the process of completing a catch that has caused so much consternation.
Vincent noted that despite slight movement of the ball in a receiver’s hands, that is not loss of possession. Under the proposal, it would constitute a reception.
”With movement (of the ball), you can still have control with movement,” Vincent said. ”That’s also addressed in the new proposal language.”
Equally controversial has been the defensive pass interference call. The Jets are proposing a change from a spot foul to a 15-yard penalty – unless the foul is determined by officials to be intentional and egregious. That suggestion drew plenty of discussion among competition committee members; both Vincent and McKay said it had ”momentum” heading into the owners meetings.
Vincent was an outstanding defensive back in the NFL and has deep insight into pass interference.
”The difference between college ball and professional defensive backs is the (pros) were too skilled and too smart, and you can play the play, you can be strategic about it,” he said. ”You don’t want a defensive back being able to strategically grab a guy, eliminate the options (on a play).
”As a former defensive back, on a professional level you can frankly bait a quarterback into doing whatever you want.”
McKay noted there was one 50-yard or longer defensive pass interference call last season Josh Norman Jersey , three of 45 or longer, and seven of 40 or more.
Allowing officiating director Al Riveron or designated staff members at New York headquarters to call for an ejection of a player is a proposal emanating from committee meetings with game officials.
”They were quick to point out in these situations where a lot is going on – a fight or something else in dead ball situations – many times they are at a loss to capture exactly what happened and the right numbers (of offending players),” McKay said.
Also proposed:
-If a team opens overtime with a field goal, then gets a turnover on the opponent’s next possession, that play will be run to conclusion. Previously, if the team that kicked the field goal fumbled the ball and it was run back for a touchdown by the opponent, that TD wouldn’t count because of a change of possession. Now, it would count.
Such a situation has never occurred since the rule change allowing each team an OT series.
-Owners will be asked to approve allowing video use on sideline and coaches’ box tablets. Now, only photos can be examined.
-Coaches will have a set amount of time during a commercial break to throw a challenge flag.
-Extra points need not be converted at the end of regulation after a team scores the winning touchdown.
McKay pointed to the end of the Saints-Vikings playoff game.
-Teams seeking head coaches after the season be allowed to negotiate and sign a contract, though the coach would still be prohibited from doing any work for his new team until his club is done in the postseason.
