Panthers QB Cam Newton on celebrations: ‘I don’t plan on changing’
There is hope for the Titans and Browns.
OK, so a little while ago, we told you about how Snoop Dogg was allowed to ask Peyton Manning a couple questions today, which is probably proof that, at this point, Super Bowl players should be allowed to skip all of their press conferences between now and Sunday. Make no mistake about it, the Broncos are the best defense they have faced this season, and yes, that includes you, Seattle. Stewart and Newton combined to rush for over 1,800 yards this season, a number unheard of when talking about a quarterback and runningback combination. Cam Newton and Peyton Manning have enough compelling narratives about each of their careers and accomplishments without bringing race into the equation. Moving the ball was a luxury for the Patriots in that game, something that has been like breathing for them all year.
So any special celebrations planned for Super Bowl Sunday?
So when a mobile, dual-threat quarterback is introduced, that changes the math. It’s 11-on-11, and if the defense plays man-to-man coverage, some defenders will have their backs turned to a quarterback who could already be past the line of scrimmage running the ball. Newton suffered two fractures in his back after a vehicle accident near the Panthers stadium in December of 2014. The versatility of tight end Greg Olson and fullback Mike Tolbert will keep drives alive for Carolina and put pressure on the Broncos early in the game.
“I knew I was going to retire win or lose” said Bettis, who was at Super Bowl week as part of Gillette’s Fusion Pro Shield campaign in honor of his former fullback, Dan Kreider.
This is the second Super Bowl for Carolina in their franchise’s history. But both franchises started off with that first solid draft pick.
“We definitely love to sing “Rocky Top” no matter who is around”, Jackson said. During an interview with Dan Patrick on NBC Sports, Charles slammed ESPN for turning this year’s Super Bowl, which pits quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Cam Newton against each other, into a race issue. This dominant defense has forced Peyton Manning to take a backseat in the process to reach the ultimate showdown.
If the Broncos can’t get the football moving on the ground, it’s going to be extremely hard to win. They’ll need lots of that in this game. The Panthers use every run imaginable. Denver again stands between Carolina winning their first Super Bowl and joining the 1984 San Francisco 49ers and the 1985 Chicago Bears with a Super Bowl 18-1 season record.
As for Vasquez, he’s also been listed as limited, but Kubiak expects him to play too.
