Beanie!

 

[timschochet]

Beanie Wells TD! Beanie looks very good early, hopefully a big day for him. Kolb looks sharp too.

Cam Newton's first drive, not so much.

 

[D'OHtis]

TD Beanie.

He's looked sensational (healthy and running with authority) all preseason. If he stays healthy, he'll be a RB1. Too many RB timeshares around the league for him not to be.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Is this game blacked out?

 

[D'OHtis]

No.

 

[timschochet]

Cam Newton to Steve Smith- 77 yards TD! Smith was wide open!

 

[renesauz]

Smith is gonna have a huge year and reward the guys who took the gamble. Amazing what a differance even an average QB can make.

 

[pollardsvision]

Cardinals trying to mess with kid's head. He made'em pay.

 

[timschochet]

Smith is gonna have a huge year and reward the guys who took the gamble. Amazing what a differance even an average QB can make.

Wow. Going overboard a little? Smith was wide open on that play, somebody blew coverage. At this point we have no clue as to what kind of QB Newton will be.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Damn, DirecTV has this blacked out for some reason.

 

[D'OHtis]

Smith is gonna have a huge year and reward the guys who took the gamble. Amazing what a differance even an average QB can make.

May have a decent year, but it was a blown coverage.I'd deal Smith and let someone else go down the bumpy road with Newton in a heartbeat.

I was really starting to regret trading for him, but the dude's still got something left.

Smith may have been wide open, but for those of us not watching the game, how did Newton look on the pass? thanks

AZ started out with no one with their hand in the dirt to confuse him, then blitzed the hell out of him. Panthers picked it up, Cam stood tall and delivered a beautiful ball down the field to a wide open Smith.I don't know what'll come of Cam in his career, but he didn't panic in a big spot. From that standpoint, he looked good.

 

[pollardsvision]

AZ pulling that crap again on 3rd down. Cam avoided the pressure and threw a good ball. It bounced off Olsen's shoulder pad.

 

[eakfootball]

Get Larry involved!

 

[timschochet]

Beanie getting a lot of carries, and doing very well. 5 carries so far for 26 yards and a TD. And he looks good.

 

[The Accountant]

how does Cam look?

poised?

scared?

mixture?

 

[timschochet]

how does Cam look? poised?scared?mixture?

He actually looks very poised. 5 for 8 so far. Accurate, too.

 

[RamMan]

For those watching, where,s DWill?

 

[drfeelgood]

how does Cam look? poised?scared?mixture?

Doesn't look scared at all. I think he is looking good.

 

[timschochet]

Stewart with his first carry gets 11 yards.

 

[timschochet]

For those watching, where,s DWill?

Started the game but hasn't done anything.

 

[pollardsvision]

how does Cam look? poised?scared?mixture?

The one announcer just asked Chad Pennington what he's sees from Cam so far. Chad said, "Total poise. He's in control"He looks very confident out there.

 

[drfeelgood]

For those watching, where,s DWill?

He is back on the field.

 

[Irish Chaos]

For those watching, where,s DWill?

Thought you wouldve realized, he left last year...lol

 

[timschochet]

Wells for 6, Wells for 6, and it's all explosive.

 

[timschochet]

Damn. Wells all set to go in from the 3, and he fumbles the exchange. Panther ball.

 

[Mag1234]

Wells not getting the carries. Whats up?

 

[cubbie5150]

Ohhh Beanie...that was an easy TD

 

[Mag1234]

Ugh

 

[sirfumblesalot]

What's going on with Fitzgerald? Is he getting targeted at all?

 

[pollardsvision]

Panthers bailed out by that fumble. AZ was rollin'. Panthers had no answer for Beanie or Kolb.

 

[renesauz]

hate that QBs get charged for fumbles on plays like that.

 

[timschochet]

What's going on with Fitzgerald? Is he getting targeted at all?

Only 1 target today so far.

 

[drfeelgood]

Great run by Stewart

 

[pollardsvision]

What's going on with Fitzgerald? Is he getting targeted at all?

Alot of Beanie and alot of Kolb spreading it around when he does throw. I can't remember if he's been targeted.I wouldn't worry. Kolb's looking really good and Fitz'll get his.

 

[urbanhack]

Beanie getting a lot of carries, and doing very well. 5 carries so far for 26 yards and a TD. And he looks good.

update?

 

[drfeelgood]

One and it was a little behind him.

 

[timschochet]

Beanie getting a lot of carries, and doing very well. 5 carries so far for 26 yards and a TD. And he looks good.

update?

8 carries for 44 yards. Would have had a 2nd touchdown except for a bad exchange.

 

[faulkfan]

What's going on with Fitzgerald? Is he getting targeted at all?

Only 1 target today so far.

He's a decoy.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Beanie getting a lot of carries, and doing very well. 5 carries so far for 26 yards and a TD. And he looks good.

update?

He's still handsome.

 

[pollardsvision]

AZ finally doesn't blitz on 3rd and long. Cam avoided the outside pressure, looked downfield for awhile and finally just tucked it for small gain.

Given Cam's issue of forcing throws in the pre-season, I was glad to see him eat that one.

 

[drfeelgood]

Nice run by Beanie. He looks good.

 

[drfeelgood]

there's fitz.

 

[timschochet]

27 more yards for Wells. And there's no hesitation, it's all north-south. He's fast and hard to bring down. And Kolb's passing is good enough to prevent 8 men in the box.

I know it's probably premature at this point, but this guy looks like an RB1 stud this year if he can stay healthy.

Beanie is playing well, but you have to also consider that Carolina's run D is very suspect.

I see the user name, but

That's why I said it's premature. Still, Wells looks terrific.ETA- and there is NOBODY to take carries from him. He's going to get 20+ carries a game.
