Place Your Bets: Super Bowl 50
Here are some of their thoughts this week when asked about Newton.
Harrison, now an NBC Sports analyst, told Newsday on Tuesday that if he was playing in Sunday’s game, he would try to take out Carolina quarterback by any means necessary.
Newton is Robo-Quarterback, a physical specimen never before seen at his position – a 6-foot-5-inch, 248-pound tank with nimble feet and a huge arm.
Wasn’t it just last season that they somehow snuck into the playoffs at 7-8-1? You want to knock him out – that might be the difference between winning and losing the Super Bowl. “It’s really awesome”, former Bengals quarterback Boomer Esiason said. During his rookie year, the Panthers went 2-10. The Broncos held the Patriots to 18 points by rarely blitzing and instead dropping seven and eight defenders into pass coverage. “Once he gets out of that pocket, as a running back, you’ve got to make him pay”.
The national case against Newton went viral when a Nashville-based public relations executive named Rosemary Plorin, a Tennessee Titans fan, wrote a letter to The Charlotte Observer expressing her disdain toward the demonstrative quarterback. “Going to have to bring up eight in the box”.
Yes, Newton dances and celebrates after big plays, and yes, he speaks his mind when asked questions in news conferences and doesn’t give boring answers that are the norm from other players in the league.
In fact, after decades of discrimination clouding the judgment of coaches and general managers in professional football, African-American quarterbacks have achieved many milestones. “He had the one year at junior college, one year at Auburn, so it’s not like he was the four-year starter in college”.
“You have to get your team prepared for whatever they do”.
Cam Newton is a man who has no fear, either on and off the field. Considering how unsafe Newton is as a runner, experts disagree on the best way to limit his abilities.
The wreck left Newton with relatively minor injuries – two fractures in his lower back which would cause him to miss one game – and a sense of major relief. Rodney’s been saying a lot of things this year, he really has. “And this is why he’s so effective”.
Players were not available to the media on Friday however that did not stop Thomas Davis from responding via Twitter to comments made by Rodney Harrison on Wednesday. If I was playing against Cam Newton, I would try to take him out. He doesn’t quite offer advice to the Broncos, but he does know what his teams would have done: tried to injure Newton to get him out of the game.
Harrison: I would try to hurt him.
Racial instigators want to make the issue all about race. If he keeps it, I’m telling all my DBs, chop his legs out.
One other thing, though: After Newton posted the bandanna-vacation photo on Instagram, he then opted for sartorial splendor, displaying a photo of himself in a tuxedo with other dapper black males in suits.
“Yeah, I think our speed overall on defense helps, obviously”. They did just shut down one of the game’s most prolific quarterbacks with a dominant pass rush and overall stellar defensive effort.
