World football over the past month and more has wondered which edition of Cam Newton you’ll see when the veteran quarterback begins his tenure with the Patriots.
Well, like the Newton of yesteryear on his New England debut.
Newton was inspired by the Patriots’ 21-11 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The star’s pointer finished 15 of 19 passes for 155 yards, but caught the eye with his legs. Newton posted a 75-yard record on the court and his two touchdowns helped New England start its 2020 season with a win.
Mike Florio of NBC Sports liked what he saw of Newton in the first week, however, he is afraid for QB and his team.
“Yes, it was in 2015 that Cam ended up being the NFL MVP,” Florio said in “Football Night in America. “Healthy and effective, but here’s the caveat: you’ve noticed that Cam’s bodies invade and look indestructible. because it’s so tall and so strong. But we know from history that faster or later it will cause you a challenge and that was my concern. I was hoping you’d be contacted less now that you’re healthy for the first time in a few years. years because at some point I think it’s anything that might be a challenge for the Patriots and for Cam. “
It’s a little unexpected to see how much Newton cares about the Patriots’ hasty offensive on Sunday. The 31-year-old, who joined New England after suffering two injuries at the end of the season, loaded the ball 15 times against the Dolphins. Sony Michel, the New England star, recorded only 10 hasty attempts.
The idea that the heavy workload of his Patriots debut had upset Newton. The variety three times Pro Bowl seemed to be running with a slight limp when it left the area after the New England victory. However, Newton after the game insisted that he felt good. “
We’ll see if the Patriots use Newton the same way Sunday night when the Seattle Seahawks for a star-time game.
