Defense: Don't dive at Newton, he will just shrug you off, just stay flat
Offense: Do that thing you do that wins games

OFFENSE = Mental toughness

DEFENSE = Mental toughness

I'd actually like to blitz frequently. Newton isn't very good under pressure. Don't let him sit back in the pocket with time to throw or scramble.. That's when he can hurt you.

Cam Newton has faced five or more pass rushers on 42 percent of his dropbacks this season, the highest rate in the NFL.

But he’s handled that pressure very well during the Panthers eight-game winning streak. He’s completed 64 percent of his throws against it, with seven touchdowns, two interceptions and only eight sacks. His Total QBR against pass rushes of five or more was 11.1 in the first four games of the season, but 90.0 during the winning streak.

Then he's really improved, wow. Didn't realize.

That said, I still don't think blitzing is a bad idea. I would still say it's probably harder to throw under a blitz than it is a normal 3/4 man rush.

Kind of a double edged sword, just like last week... Do you blitz and let him get outside the pocket and run or do you contain and try and make him beat you passing...

I say contain him in the pocket, play decent enough coverage for coverage sacks or bad throws.

Offense - commit to the run. Play Ingram, P.T. AND Robinson.
Defense - Since it works for everyone else, go to press, man-coverage.
If you can't beat them, join them. Put up a toll booth and make Cam PAY to run the football.
