This is illuminating, because it gives us a look into Newton’s thought process. Newton seems frustrated fans don’t understand preseason The sentiment from Newton over being released wasn’t anger, but disappointment, and understanding. “When I look back at it I was probably getting two reps to his 10 reps, and that’s why it was starting to make sense.” It wasn’t so much that people were treating Cam differently, but he could tell more and more faith was being put in the rookie.Įssentially Newton believes Jones passed the test that he could handle the load, and the decision was made before his Covid protocol status even became a factor. What Newton does discuss though is how he felt the mood change in practice towards Mac Jones. Much has been speculated about whether Newton’s vaccination status led to his release, but the QB doesn’t believe it did (of course, he would probably say this). The quarterback refused to answer questions about whether he’d received the shot to protect him against Covid, and this was exacerbated when he took a trip to Atlanta and was forced to miss five days under Covid protocols. It’s impossible to talk about Newton’s release from New England without at least exploring his vaccination status. In Cam’s mind there wasn’t one big event that led to his release Here are the moments that jumped out to me. Furthermore, Newton is largely complimentary of Mac Jones, saying he’s will will football games with the Patriots this season, adding that he has no ill will - but also admitting he feels New England would have won a lot of games with himself at the helm as well. Numerous times throughout the chat Newton stops his father, or alludes to him being biased in the situation because it involves his son, and not just a football player. What makes it so unique is that this isn’t some fiery, angry tirade against the Patriots. On Friday morning Newton released a 45 minute video titled “My Side Of The Story,” where he sat down with his father, Cecil Newton Sr. Thanks for that, Cam.It’s been almost two weeks since the Patriots cut Cam Newton, and now the QB has responded in one of the most frank, fascinating interviews pro football has ever seen. Silver Screen & Roll September 28, 2020 “But if the Clippers were playing the Lakers, there’s no way the Lakers would beat them!” /ZWG7Qv0ygW įalcons: We got a comfortable lead going into the 4th, easy win. When someone tells you pineapples belong on a pizza. Me from the other side of the bar: /J9Z54VvdBZ “Cam Newton’s personality won’t work in New England” “I promise you, the Falcons did it AGAIN” /etuy8bgC9s “He paid $750 in federal taxes” /cRiIeCBmpeĬam just gave us a new BRUH gif. N’Keal Harry: You know Taysom Hill gets paid 21 million with 16 million guaranteed New England Patriots September 27, 2020 What did N'Keal Harry say that made him slide off the bench?Ĭam Newton: (big smile) "I'm just going to keep that discussion on the field." /Cy7w0tCsfRīut we saw that meme make rounds on Twitter throughout Sunday. NEED to know what N'Keal said to Cam □ /qERZEFD8wuĪsked after the game what Harry said, Newton declined to reveal the details of that conversation. Again, the fact that the moment was captured live on the broadcast was just too perfect. Harry said something to Newton that had the Patriots quarterback breaking out a classic meme-worthy reaction and sliding down his seat. And with just under two minutes remaining in the game, CBS cameras focused in on a conversation between Newton and wide receiver N’Keal Harry on the bench. The New England Patriots improved to 2-1 on Sunday with their Week 3 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. It’s almost like Cam Newton knew the cameras were on him.
