Rookie of Newton on the track, will start the season with Panthers
CHARLOTTE, NC - Cam Newton begins preseason opens Thursday night against
Carolina, the Cincinnati Bengals.http://www.jerseysshops.net/
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Sunday that Newton has played the first three
quarters against the Bengals, but that does not mean the rookie will be the
starter in the 11th game of the season in September will be against the Arizona
Cardinals.http://www.jerseysshops.net/
"We give you the opportunity to see how it is to manage the entire gaming
experience, and we're going from there," said Rivera, who covers the whole of
Thursday night.
"It made him the starter for Thursday. We are still in the evaluation, after
going through a game where near good, but not enough good things. "<a

Newton started and played the first half Friday night from 20 to 10 loss to
Miami. He finished 7 of 14 to 66 meters. Newton also ran four times for 18
yards.
Jimmy Clausen started the second half against the Dolphins and was 9-15 for 69
yards.
Rivera said that after seeing the film, it became clear that Newton, the No. 1
draft pick in April, has improved his mechanics since training camp opened.
"It was obvious, but more importantly, to make good decisions, and that's
probably the biggest," said Rivera. "Every time I see the decisions of one man,
raising allegedly do with the next part of the ball early and hit the receiver
on and do these things."
Rivera had already suggested that it was the name of the regular season this
week, but said Sunday that he is not ready.
"I think the best thing we have to do is to continue to assess the situation
and circumstances," said Rivera. "I only went for about three and a half to
four weeks of training camp and start a kind of decision would be absurd. We
want to see how he treats every game of the week the situation. "<a

Also practiced Sunday, defensive end Greg Hardy Carolina for the first time
this preseason. He had been with injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in
July.http://www.jerseysshops.net/
Rivera said that Hardy was a "defensive set down."
"He worked as and when he finished his starting point for defensive purposes,"
said Rivera. "I did not recognize it, I'm so used to him in street clothes to
work. It lasts and mingle with your group and had the opportunity to leave with
the first (team) and some pictures.<a href="http://www.jerseysshops.net">nfl

"We are delighted to have him back on the football field."
Chris Gamble (groin) practiced on Sunday, while Jon Beason Linebacker
(Achilles) as the only defensive actions still pending.
