Panthers OC Mike Shula is trying to shorten Cam Newton's play calls this season. "The more words you have in your play calling, the easier it is on everyone else because the quarterback basically is telling them what to do," Shula said. "Fewer words help the quarterbacks because he doesn't have to say as much. ... It will help not being in the huddle all that long." The Panthers are trying to put Newton in an optimal position to succeed after things sometimes got bogged down under old OC Rob Chudzinski. There's every reason to believe he's in store for a monster campaign.
