Cam Newton Releases Bold Statement on Seahawks

Cam Newton has come out with a huge statement on the Seattle Seahawks after the New England Patriots won their week 1 match up. The Patriots are looking at this as a bit of a transition year. They were very busy this off season.

Newton has now come out talking about their week 2 match up with the Seattle Seahawks. He said that the game with the Seahawks felt like a “division game” when they used to play when he was with the Panthers. He thinks that they played them the most, more than other team in the league.

“I don’t think people understand that we played Seattle in Carolina like they were a division game,” Newton noted. “We played them a lot, and [not sure] if this is not an accurate stat, but I will put my name on it. I think we played Seattle more than we played any other team outside our division. It was a team that we kind of looked forward to playing, measuring our toughness and where our team was.”

He went on.

“This week is not going to be any different,” Newton added. “It’s simple, they know who they are, they know what they want to do. They are not going to conform or change for nobody. You know, when you got a method or mentatility like that, it’s kind of hard to lose. When you have a quarterback that’s under siege there or at the realm, it’s kind of hard to lose and he has so much command of that team and offense. Obviously, with the new acquisitions of the guys they do have there, from the cornerbacks to free safeties to the linebackers to the d-line, it makes no difference. And you can go back five, ten years from now, it’s still about how the Seattle Seahawks have been a great team to contend for championships year in and year out.”

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll also talked about what he has seen from Cam Newton so far.

“We do have a real good background with Cam, but we don’t know what they’re going to do with him,” Carroll explained. “It’s only one game. We don’t even have the benefit of the preseason games to try to kind of figure it out. And they have been notorious for changing from one week to the next in how they approach their opponents and all. So we have to go into this game with a wide open-look, it’s almost like a first game. We have some information of course—they showed they really want to run the football, ran it 42 times in the game, which is a great commitment. But we’ll see. We don’t know.”
