Panthers DE Allen arrives at practice, LB Kuechly still out

-Panthers quarterback Cam Newton on Wednesday tried to avoid getting sucked back into a conversation he started, but he didn’t remain completely silent.

So any parallels you’d like to make between the quarterbacks are fine by Bucs coach Lovie Smith.

Rivera said reserve running backs Fozzy Whittaker, Cameron Artis-Payne and Brandon Wegher all have gotten practice reps this week.

“(Newton) was a great player in college, and you knew it would transfer right into the league.

The video shows Newton stopping at one point and looking straight at Hochuli in what appears to be a state of disbelief at what was said. “We are just trying to be smart and go through the process of the protocol”. Newton has a 64.6 completion percentage with passing 10 touchdowns and six on the ground in six career games against the Bucs.

Newton – still the seventh-youngest starting QB in the league – is barely old enough to be facing a younger version of himself, but he likes what he sees in Winston’s first few games. Newton said rhetorically on Wednesday. “The thing that he had that I also had was that determination of success and winning, but knowing you’re coming into a league where you are going to the worst team, so it’s a learning curve”.

Cam Newton isn’t backing down from his claim against Ed Hochuli.

“We can throw for 300, but if he runs for a touchdown and converts a couple of third downs with his legs, those are game-changing plays”, Olsen said.

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall could be sidelined for three to four weeks, perhaps longer, after suffering a Grade 2 partial ligament tear in his toe during Thursday night’s loss to the New York Giants, head coach Jay Gruden announced.

“I’m not a standup 3-4 guy”, Allen said. “I think what he can do in the pocket …”

“It’s about team development”, Winston said. “It’s like cancer. From when my brother started his treatment [on pancreatic cancer] to now, there’s been a few movement”, said Rivera, whose brother died before training camp. “He’s a very enthusiastic person, so just bring energy to the field and be yourself”.

But when a reporter wondered if Newton stood by his comments now that Hochuli has denied them, Carolina’s quarterback replied: “Well, did you expect him to say anything else?”
