MIAMI GARDENS — Cam Newton isn't likely to save the tape from his second NFL pre-season game for posterity. Newton, the 2010 Heisman Trophy winner whom the Carolina Panthers made the first pick in last April's draft, showed calmness and leadership against the Dolphins Friday night at Sun Life Stadium, but was unable to get much accomplished against a Miami defense that played its starters against him most of the way. Newton was a respectable 7-of-14 passing for 66 yards while playing the first half, but guided the Panthers to just three first downs. Carolina's deepest penetration in the half was to the Miami 48 on the next-to-last play of the half.
"It went alright, but it could've gone much better," Newton said. "We couldn't find a way to (keep the offense) on track. To have all the three-and-outs we had, that's not acceptable."
CARRY ON
