1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Good morning, Cam Newton, Good morning. Never mind physically, how 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: do you feel mentally this morning? Uh? Well, I'm all right, man. 3 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: I just gotta keep you know, keep building blocks, man. 4 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: And you know that's a tough one yesterday. You know, 5 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: I just got to do a better job to take 6 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: a personal challenge each and every week as I have. Man, No, 7 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: just protect my football, man, And you know that's what 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: it comes down. So we were talking with Boomer about 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: this and on the fumble you you were you said 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: postgame that you keep that ball in your right hand 11 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: because it's your dominant hand. Um is that you know, 12 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,599 Speaker 1: maybe give us a little more on that. Well, any 13 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: any ball care your nose. You know, when the game 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: is on the line, or in any type of situation 15 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: where you don't too much having to wiggle, you want 16 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: to keep it in your dominant hand because that's that's 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: your strongest hand. And as I you know, have played 18 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: to play back multiple times, it wasn't. As if I wasn't, 19 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: I could have kept it high and tight as always 20 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: the coaches point always is, but my attention really wasn't 21 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: on the defender who hid it right. So you know, 22 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,559 Speaker 1: as I look back at the replays and the film. 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: You know he came from an angle which it wasn't 24 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: in my line of eyesight, which is inexcusable. But still, 25 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, you want to always keep it in or 26 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: for me, I want to always keep it in my 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: dominant hands, so when things like that do happen, you're 28 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: more or less stronger with one arm than the next. 29 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: We were talking earlier about the first half. There was 30 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: a moment there where, um, you look like to us, 31 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: where you gotta you want to throw the ball? You 32 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: got a little pressure, you start to scramble and then 33 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: look like you kind of stopped and maybe questioned yourself 34 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: on whether or not you're gonna run or whether you're 35 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: gonna go back and try to throw. Is do you 36 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 1: feel like flustered at times when when it comes to 37 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: that kind of situation. I don't say flustered. I'm just 38 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, make smart decisions and take what 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: the defense gives me. You know, my playing style and 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: playing ability is more or less you know, imprompt too 41 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: at times. And you know when you when you make decisions, 42 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: if the defense gives you an opportunity to make it, 43 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: you know it's it's under your discretion to make it 44 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: so when I stepped up in the pocket and I 45 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: felt as if there was nothing to be you know, 46 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: it was too many eyes on me sort of speak, 47 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: you know. Then I tried to, you know, see what 48 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: a passing option was, and it wasn't. So therefore, you know, 49 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: that's what you have when you have now cam. You 50 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: talked about when the fumble occurred in that area and 51 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: you're just the lack of I don't want to say focused, 52 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: but you kind of getting to that next level a 53 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: couple of plays before that you have the big run 54 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: and maybe you get a little bit comfortable if you 55 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,239 Speaker 1: have to like constantly reassure yourself in the huddle, especially 56 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: you know when your numbers call, Hey, once I get 57 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: in that like contact area, make sure guys could be 58 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: coming from everywhere, so you know, not to get in 59 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: a situation like that where it's just maybe kind of 60 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: take your eyes off and thinking all right, I'm gonna 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: get through here and somebody comes out of nowhere. Well, 62 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: I feel like each week is it's a different learning um, 63 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: you know tool And for me, you know, the thing 64 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: that I look back on and kind of harp on 65 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: myself is just playing sixty minutes of of all focus, 66 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: not fifty nine minutes and thirty seconds. You know what 67 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: I'm saying, sixty four minutes. And I think if that happens, 68 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: then you know, we put ourselves or and if it 69 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: would have been it would have been more than that. 70 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: But so so be it, you know, in my In 71 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: my case, it's all about playing smart football, and that's 72 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: what I've been, you know, trying to do ever since 73 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: I've been here, and it's been something that I can 74 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: learn from each and every week, and just like yesterday, 75 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: I would learn from it and be better from them. 76 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: What is the the mood in that locker room? Because 77 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: I think you know, there are those who say, you know, 78 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: is there a danger that Bill loses this locker room? 79 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: Or are there guys who are saying, all right, you 80 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: know we're we're giving it are all and it's not 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: working here? What you know, kind of post game? What 82 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: is the mood? Honestly? You know, when I look in 83 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: the locker room, man, it's it's a bunch of guys 84 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: that's given supreme effort. And you know, when you when 85 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: you think about being a member of this team, you know, 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: obviously when you go back and look at games one 87 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: and games loss. You can easily say, man, I have 88 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: done way less and won games yet and I have 89 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: done way more and still lost. But yet, at the 90 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: end of the day, this game is all about production, 91 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: team production. And you know, for us to be on 92 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: this this this losing street, it has affected everybody. And 93 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: but I don't think nobody consciously has has has just 94 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: holded the ten and said, you know what, you know, 95 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give up, because that's not the case. You know, 96 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: coach always says, you know, we just got to do 97 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: a better job of coaching better, playing better, having more effort, 98 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: being more dominant, playing sixty minutes of focus football. And 99 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: that's what it's coming down to. I think everybody in 100 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: that locker room knows what are, what we could potentially be, 101 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: and what we're capable of being. It just takes you know, 102 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: fifty three guys believing and understanding and doing their given 103 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: job on each and every day. When when you've been 104 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: on with us after a loss, you're the kind of 105 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: guy who puts it all on yourself. And so I'm wondering, 106 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: after that game, are you do you step up and 107 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: do you say to those guys you know, after it 108 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: ends that way, do you say, hey, this is on me, 109 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: you know what. You know, I've never really been a 110 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: person to you know, you know, kind of say certain 111 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: things that are that are obvious, you know, and especially 112 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: taking taking taking the fact that this team is where 113 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: we are right now, and I know I have to 114 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: do a better job. And you know, some guys have leadership, 115 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: you know, skills that may give them that or that's 116 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: not my style. My style is I know what I 117 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: have to do, and I'm more of a lead by 118 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: example type of person. Obviously my energy is what it is. 119 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: But I've never once you know, stopped the team meeting 120 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: and say, hey, guys like that's that's not my style. 121 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: You know, I know for me personally, you know, just 122 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: like as if any other game, I know I have 123 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: to play better. I know I have to be better, 124 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: and you know, yeah, it's been a lot of times 125 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: this year that I can say it's been on me. 126 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: And but yet, you know, the optimistic thing about it 127 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: is I felt more comfortable, you know, yesterday and and 128 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: building of things, working with jobs, working with Jed and 129 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: just going back and playing smart football. But you know, 130 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: just one play, you know, can just alter a person's 131 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: you know, feel for the whole overall game. And that's 132 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: just unfortunate. But that's what this game is. You know, 133 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: nobody cares of how much work you put in throughout 134 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: the week. You know, they just get They just care 135 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: about the end of the week production. And that just 136 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: almost gives any type of person who follows the game, 137 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: from a fan to anybody else to say, well, he 138 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: hasn't been doing enough because this happens. And that's not 139 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: necessarily the case. You know, you would think that you know, 140 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: where we are as a team, you would say, well, 141 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: they can't be practicing as hard, but how who could 142 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: you be? We're practicing as hard as we can. We're 143 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: seeing guys still staying after, you know, getting treatment, you know, 144 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: watching at your film. I'm putting in the time, but 145 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: for it not to trans transition into you know, end 146 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: game success. That's the most frustrating thing about you know, 147 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: the game of football is because you know, we're all 148 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: judged on did you win on Sunday? Okay, why didn't 149 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: you win? It must have been something that you did 150 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: on Thursday Friday. You must have been out at the club. 151 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: But you must have been you know, just breathing by 152 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: and and and it's and it's so it's it's true, 153 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: but it's it's, it's, it's it's just hard to fathom that, 154 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: you know, we played this game, and you know, so 155 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: much hard work just goes in vain when you don't win. 156 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing that, um, you know, 157 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: people just need to notice. Were you were you surprised 158 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: by the onside kick yesterday? But I wasn't you know, 159 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: I wasn't you know. We got to take chances in 160 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: order to get to get rewarded, and you know, being 161 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: that we had the momentum at that particular point in time, 162 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: and you know, they just made a headsy play. I 163 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: think it was. I thought it was a good kick 164 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: if it could have got to a second bounce and 165 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: and the recover, you know, did a great job with 166 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: not letting it, you know, get to that second bounce. 167 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: But you know, you you take answers like that and 168 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Being a leader 169 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: on this offense and in that locker room, I've I've 170 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: played on teams before where you know you're in a 171 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: position and you don't want getting you don't want guys 172 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: to be looking down the schedule, whether whether that's to see, okay, 173 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: what do we need to do to make the playoffs, 174 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: or whether that's to see, like, all right, man, when's 175 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: this season over? And so how do I get through 176 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: it without getting hurt? How are you, as a leader 177 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: in this team and in this locker room, how are 178 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: you making sure that hey, let's focus one week at 179 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: a time rather than get to schedule watching man, Listen, 180 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: I've been one week at a time for the last 181 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,439 Speaker 1: four weeks. And and and just a vibe that you 182 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: get in that locker room is just we just need one, 183 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: you know, because going back and knowing this team as 184 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,679 Speaker 1: as well as I do know this team coming off 185 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: of that you know, Raiders win, man, I think everybody 186 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: had a full head of steam and momentum, and then 187 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: obvious see what happened with COVID and and everything like that, 188 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: It's just been a slippery slope, you know, walking down 189 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: a slippery isle, you know, trying to regain your footing. 190 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: And one thing I do know about this team is 191 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: once we get that first one, that next one is 192 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: almost as Okay, we remember how to win. Okay, we 193 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: know how you know this field, this is where a 194 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: situational football kicks in. Let's do a better job of 195 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: doing this than the third. And you know, there's no 196 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: doubt in my mind that guys are taking the proper 197 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: steps of focusing on each and every day, each and 198 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: every rep, each and every practice that will inevitably lead 199 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: to you know, end game success for one particular game. 200 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: And I don't think you know, we have relatively young, 201 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: but but mature, you know team that that keeps everybody 202 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: focusing and in line with what the common goal is 203 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: for that specific day. And we do you think this 204 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: team can still make the playoffs? I think this team 205 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: can win the next game? Good answer? Yeah. I mean 206 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: that's just the focus is one day at the time, 207 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: and that's I think it's more so for the young guys. 208 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: And that's why I say it's always about making sure 209 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: that guys out focusing on the next game. But I 210 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: know how I know how the league is camp. It's 211 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: just guys get the schedule watching. It's just human nature 212 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: and it's about veterans and railing those guys in and 213 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: not having them do that. Man. Listen, one thing about 214 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: this league is this league turns over every two weeks, right, 215 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: so you know, for us, you know, we just got 216 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: to really focus on you know, week a week in, 217 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: week out, and depending on what our success is. We 218 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: know that we can't control what another team does. We 219 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: can't control what another you know, what mother nature brings us. 220 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: We can only look and control what's in that New 221 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: England Patriots locker room. And you know, we got some 222 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: warriors in there, and you know, I'm ready to go 223 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: to war with them, and I know they are and 224 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: they can say the same about me. But you know, 225 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: we're just trying to focus in the hone in and 226 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: trying to get one up on er our belt before 227 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: we can look for three and four or five. So 228 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, as soon as we get one, we're going 229 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: to focus on trying to get one again. That's going 230 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: to be our energy or here moving forward. You you 231 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: may not hear them, but there are there are critics 232 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: who call this show or or or say this in 233 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: other places that this is why Cam Newton didn't have 234 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: a lot of interest from other teams. What would you 235 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: say to them, man, listen, man, if they are entitled 236 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,079 Speaker 1: to their own opinion, and they may be right, who knows, 237 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: And I'm not here to you know to combat every 238 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: single person that calls in, because I do know this 239 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: is a popping show, and you know, you get calls 240 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: from here, there and thither and every time Harry Jane 241 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: recipue Ship all that.

I know I'm getting better. 244 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: And just a comfort in this offense is it's gonna pop. 245 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: So you know, whatever a person may say, I agree 246 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: with them one hundred and ten percent. There's not a 247 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: person out there that's going to be more critical of 248 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: how Cam Newton plays outside of Cam Newton. And that's 249 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: just a fact. So um, you know, whatever a person 250 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: may think or say, you know they're right. You know, 251 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: I just got to prove my worth and prove myself 252 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: right before I can combat another person. All right, maybe 253 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: you're bringing us around a little bit.
