2013 Week 1 - Seahawks @ Panthers

the biggest things in terms of playing the quarterback position you just got to be out of weather the storm a lot of people were saying I was too short or played my height didn't define my skill set so grateful to CBC I'll see how it's starting quarterback and I'm playing for all the other kids that have been told that they can't do something that's why I want to put forward by the National Football League what will Russell Wilson do for an encore overcoming odds seventy-fifth player picked in the draft last year third round but took the Seahawks to the playoffs what a playoff game but we'll be observing here as seattle deferred winning the coin toss so they're gonna kick it off to Carolina as Stephen House good gets ready to start the 2013 NFL season Seahawks and Panthers is underway Ted Ginn jr. watches it bounce off the crossbar and Cam Newton leads the Carolina offense from its own 20-yard line 24 years old Heisman Trophy winner he's won a national championship and these are some of the people who help around it certainly is gonna have to lean on Greg Olson his tight end versus a lot of the coverage that the Seattle Seahawks put on the table in the variety of zones they throw at you and then Chris Scott up front will be starting for a meanie silat Oulu the second-year player at left guard Chris Scott's been on 16 he'll have a handful against that Seattle front [Applause] Brandon LaFell in motion the hand office today Angela Williams and he picks up the healthy chunk of yardage to the 25-yard line and Tim you talked about some of the missing parts in that Seattle defense let's see who is the starting up front O'Brien Schofield on the spot that would be April or Clemens yeah that is that's interesting to see how he's gonna do just sign here in training camp Malcolm Smith it's going to get the start here at weak side linebacker he earned that in training camp and then of course Walter Thurmond out there starting at right cornerback is there without their big stud out there Brandon browner second down five [Applause] Cam Newton to throw and does complete on the sideline fight hard to get to the 30 for a first down his Greg Olson a high of 80 today by the late afternoon it'll be maybe 88 89 degrees and it was down on the field earlier and field one of the hottest places like a sauna in terms of the humidity so muggy something that the Seahawks will have to contend with no question I know all the the folks from the Northwest will say it was hot in Seattle this year and it was a hot summer it was nothing like it is on this field here today on first down Cam Newton put pro speed Smith at the 37 yard line Smith has now caught a pass in ninety two consecutive Degas he is a big play waiting to happen doesn't have a lot of touchdown snow down over the last couple of seasons but in 34 years old Chris it's amazing how he's still getting it done I like what Cam Newton's doing right now he's just being patient it's really what he did the last four or five games last year just checking out the defense looking at the zone throwing and underneath for the easy complacent and for tip to tight ends in on the pitch to the Angela Williams across the 41 yard line near another first down you think we'll see much of the read option from Kamloops I think we're gonna see more of it from Russell Wilson then we're gonna see from Cam Newton that's one thing that they really throttled back last year in that four-game win streak Ron Rivera the head coach said he did his own study and he said we had to pare it back and they did in the tune of about 35% 40% and took some of that decision-making off the table at Cam Newton and just let him be a quarterback Chris and he thrived for him from the 42 DeAngelo Williams again breaking tackles stop short of the 49-yard line [Applause] DeAngelo Williams came in with a career average of 5 yards a game now with Jonathan Stewart injured he's finding Running Room he absolutely is and here's the power nice little kick out there by Gary Williams Mike Tolbert couple of broken tackles tell you a lot of question marks on this offensive line Chris coming into this game today if they could actually move that Seattle front off the line of scrimmage very good start for them so far in this game last year Center Ryan Khalil the three-time Pro Bowler was injured so he's back now on second down four this is Tober he couldn't get to the 49-yard line either he's in front with Toby McDaniel random eBay and then of course from the linebackers spine Malcolm Smith a lot of a lot of beef up from the book and there there got a lot of speed behind him and it's a perfect complement to one another I am so fired up for that guy right there Ryan Khalil I'm Tony he got hurt in this game last year against Seattle I think he's the best in pro football and watching him against Brandon me bein today and some of those inside players will be fun to watch three wide receivers on third down and four love this - we saw none of that little bunch said last year test of the clip there's a flat down Brandon LaFell was the target camp Chancellor was working with a Walter Thurmond was over there as well path interference defense number 28 Wow work now and Thurmond gets his hand on the ball but you can't run over the guys back to do it you can try to make a play but you cannot run through a guy there was certainly contact that was a good call from the lion judge but I love that little Bunch set they're doing we didn't see any of that last year it's an absolute zone killer so far so good Thurman alive yeah Thurman playing for Brandon browner as we mentioned who was the starter before he was injured and rather arrived on the scene first down from inside midfield complete for Gregg Olson he was open my chillers doing a nice job of calling plays right now Seattle defensively Chris they're on their heels I just looked down at the field watch KJ right the linebacker for the Seahawks trying to communicate with the rest of his players there was a busted coverage there Greg Olson was wide open just couldn't hold on to the football Pete Carroll trying to get that defense in the situation because Cam Newton has not had a third and long yet and that's something that when they met last year created problems here we have a stoppage of play the officials resetting the clock reset 25 to 25 seconds thank you Jeff Triplett our referee today and again this Seahawk defense allowed just 15 points a game on average last year that's the that's the most important defensive stat is the points to go out and they were the best in the league and now this is the eighth play of the drive the opening drive he falls down short of the 41 yard line and short of the first down talking to red Bryant and some of the defensive lineman for Seattle they said it was absolutely important to keep Cam Newton in the pocket and not rush by him well two or three of them that time rushed by him he saw the little grease up inside and got themselves to a third short this is where damn noon wanted to be Chris third in management all day Cam Newton was the leading rusher for the Panthers last year right now he after picking up eight one third and two looks like they're using Bobby Wagner at least on that last play but a linebacker to try to spy it ceptin he was looking for Steve Smith but Richard Sherman who in the last two years has more interceptions than anybody in the NFL at that position nearly had another 8 of them last year Sherman is kicking himself this ball comes out late Richard's able to make a break on it and it hits him right in the hands and he can't hold on to it throwing on 3rd and 2 especially with the run success they had early here on this first drive that's good question Brad Norton lines up to plot and golden tape with Leon Washington elsewhere is a new punt and kick off return situation for the Seahawks stayed standing inside the 10-yard line let's it go Northman's Dixon and the Panthers are on special teams play to put the seahawks in a hole after an opening drive that stalls Russell Wilson on the Seahawk offense thread ahead city's game on Fox is sponsored by Southwest Airlines find our fares online only at southwest.com after a 36-yard punt Seahawks first intent from their own 5-yard line the Panthers held the ball for nearly five minutes Russell Wilson to Marshawn Lynch read-option will we see that with Russell Wilson on the Seahawks Lynch of course 11 touchdowns last year aged 27 coming off his best season absolutely a Golden Tate expect to figure out of him led this team in receptions the last seven games last year up front with the offensive line Paul Weston in there starting at left guard we're going to see a lot of James Carpenter who as well the former first-round pick Golden Tate bottom of your screen at second down line now he's in motion Sidney Rice on that side with him some party going on there's a flag in the air rushing and so the tape after he caught the football that's a rookie mistake Luke Wilson just jumped the gun that's a false start offensively for the rookie tight end out of rice just got too excited certainly understandable in this atmosphere [Applause] any offense to men looting and not resetting kept the distance repeat suck it down Wilson the the speed gun we're gonna watch him later if he's a guy who can get downfield now let's see where they were they got mixed in there he is right there you got a guy in motion Golden Tate and then there he just jumps the gun Luke Wilson and that's a killer now especially when you got your back against the in your own territory second down ten from the five [Applause] Russell Wilson covers all Denzel he's a trucker ceptin Thomas Davis had a shot of the urine throw starlets ooh la la with the heat off and Russell Wilson here right in his endzone it almost looks like he's just going to take the safety at that point like he's going to go down and then he realizes wait a minute I got an opportunity to get rid of it he's really lucky he got lucky there and he didn't get the safety but he throw an interception that was close on third and ten the Panthers will have some hometown health Russell Wilson goes underneath the Marcia fourth down really well played by Thomas Davis the outside linebacker who does not get out leverage forces flinch back inside and then here's Thomas Davis here watch him get outside force it back inside then here's what you love in the screen game defensive lineman in pursuit they get a body rockin shot there on Lynch in for support down John Ryan standing in the back of his own endzone better be careful not only back there Ted Ginn to return from the pasture [Applause] all the way inside the 25 of Carolina and gets back up to the across the 35 yard line Panthers have not had a regular season punt return for a touchdown in ten years they're hopeful that this guy can deliver good special teams coverage from the Seahawks in a scoreless game the Panthers are on offense today's game on Fox is sponsored by Bud Light the official beer of NFL fans here we go [Music] Walter Thurmond starting in the places Brandon browner out with a hamstring injury where he'd be down and vorlon feel forced him into retirement [Applause] his gear first out from the 35 yard line for Cam Newton on their second possession of 69-yard button by John Ryan which the Panthers back but they have moved the ball well running the football that's why you never really measure anything in terms of success in the preseason and DeAngelo Williams was terrible in the preseason in his yards per carry not a bunch of opportunities but the franchise leader here today having a good start over five yards of pop and on a warm muggy day the Seahawk defense if they're on the field for another long drive that could play here sit into their performance from the 39 credit the sack O'Brien Schofield the Cardinal cast off Pete Carroll has told us a bunch of times that he wanted this guy coming out of Wisconsin in Arizona ended up getting immensity drop for Cam Newton him and Arizona ended up getting them and then they were obviously after a few years let him go Pete Carroll was happy to get up here this summer the great job is just keeping his motor running hot Brandon corner around Jordan gross a good pass protector we just kept it going was a big-time sack there's a lot of room for Cam Newton to run he wasn't able to gather hell right we're on third and 12 from the 33 yard line three receivers on the left side for new the first time and loner Thurmond was there to make sure he didn't get bored [Music] we're at Northland on to punt as the Seattle defense calls this Carolina Troy I know they got a punt but I like what Caroline is doing so far offensively they're doing a nice job of mixing and matching the run game to both sides of the line of scrimmage and the Cam Newton we saw last year in the last four games and Ron Rivera the head coach talked about him he is way more patient and taken with the defense's given Northland Golden Tate back inside his own ten this time he's going to take it all the way up through the 25-yard line before the long snapper chanson brought him down a 20-yard return after a 45-yard punt that's risky inside your own 5-yard line but he sets up the Seattle offense rather well [Music] today's game on Fox is sponsored by lows lows never stop improving by McDonald's I'm loving it and by Rockstar Games Grand Theft Auto 5 coming September 17 rated M for Mature with Jim Ryun Jennifer Hale on the field Chris Myers and glad you're watching the area through lockbox from Charlotte's second possession for Russell Wilson of the Seahawks scoreless here from his own 25-yard line [Applause] he benched him let's get a kitchen break and head to Joe Clancy what's going on around the league Joel that's right guys we head to Detroit where on his first touch of the season Adrian Peterson trots 78 yards for the touchdown Peterson trying to get to that unattainable 2500 back to you guys alright thanks Joel what an amazing story as his comeback continues Kenny Lewis will be watching all season long second out tenth here [Applause] Russell Wilson from the pocket [Applause] [Music] and one around hi Golden Tate the target its third and ten Russell Wilson told you that scramble drill was something they wanted to work at and become really proficient yeah he also said that he and Marshawn Lynch worked a lot in the underneath passing game look at Paul McGuigan right there at the left guard thought he was going to get a hold on star Luke too lately and just pulled off took his hands off Russell Wilson is running for his life back they're not able to find any open receiver third down at ten [Applause] deep drop for the safety got for you passes Fraulein tape number saw then Wilson gets knocked to the ground by Greg Hardy one of the best stories in pro football is Thomas Davis the linebacker for the Carolina Panthers I want you to watch him right here and watch what he does to Paul McGuigan and that inside pressure mean Russell Wilson at 5 foot 11 happened to throw from in the pocket with pressure in his face almost impossible job well done by Thomas Davis Russell Wilson is one out of five so far this is the place he got the first road win of his NFL career last year Ted Ginn jr. back to the seeds Ryan's play catch both four at the last moment right and the 20th line a 55 yard fun Carolina hot office Panther defense has forced a pair of three announced of Seattle's awesome stress look they were top ten quietly last year in defense and they got better and the first round draft pick is B London star Luke - lately second rounder and k1 short run so they're better they're in John beasts and back at linebacker well it's gonna be a big help for me buddy from the 20-yard line Cam Newton on first down at the 35 by Steve Smith and Richard Charlotte was over there so far they're doing more playin than talking whether they're go Steve Smith talk it's a big time throw he's gonna run the corner around the outside linebacker does not get enough with the rookie Benson Mayo you got to get width on that get in the throwing Lane that's a terrific throw from Camp Nou gain of 50 they hurried to the line on first down and even hands off to Mike Tolbert Tolbert from Coastal Carolina can play fullback tailback but with the rookie Kenny on Barner out with a foot injury and Jonathan Stewart though the ankle surge reason he's gonna have to figure in the picture a little more and they did not use him enough last year it's like Gary Williams is down on the field the right guard Gary Williams the injured player and we'll continue in a moment Gary Williams helped from the field by the trainer and medical staff so let's take a look at what happened yeah he's in here at right guard right there and then watch Kony McDaniel the defensive lineman get blocked right into the back of his leg that's where the injury happened travell Wharton in his spot at Rygaard [Music] travell Wharton was a longtime fan Thur was with the Bengals for a year coming back in that position play it is 100 NFL game today and that offensive line at least early and had an edge against this suffocating Seahawk do you they were arty without sellitto who their starting left guard so now with the injury to Gary Williams they got to backup guards out there about Wharton Chris was out of football last year torn ACL with Cincinnati Bengals in his knee on third and seven Maxwell was in he's covering Steve Smith top of your screen at the 35 it'll let it go I think we're getting a full display of the arm of Cam Newton in the accuracy in terms of this seam route he just launches this laser right in between two defenders and Greg Olson could just never get a firm grip on it as he went down to the ground Cam Newton I'm telling you go back and look at the last four games last year and how he's been throwing the ball so far today I expect a big big year out of him Nordman to punt again Golden Tate again inside his own 10 he let one go he's checking this one [Applause] actually 17 yard line the defenses are dominating so far you have a Carolina heat but Russell Wilson takes the field adjustable [Music] here in Charlotte let's get an injury update Jennifer Hale from the field hi Jennifer well hi Chris I tell you what a very frustrated Gary Williams just got carted into the Panthers locker room during this break he could put no weight on that left leg you can see the pain on his face the frustration in his body language he even punched the bed of the car as he was being taken away obviously Chris not the way he wanted to start this season an unfortunate incident as now the Seahawk offense he's just trying to get a first down 1st and 10 from their own 17 yard line Lynch's the back quick pass to Golden Tate fights for some yardage for Josh Thomas bring some downs got a game break with Joel Black and we go to New Orleans where Matt Ryan is going to be rolling to his right looking looking and he finds the veteran Tony Gonzalez for the touchdown it is now 10 nothing in that ballgame all Atlanta thanks Joel a divisional battle in the NFC South and Sean Payton returns for the Saints by the way the Buccaneers are trailing the Jets to nothing in the opening quarter also in the day a lot of people liken these Panthers in this division Chris because of their defense when Sean Lynch carries on second and four talked to a lot of folks around the NFL this offseason and everyone loves it land and their offense and Drew Brees and and all of that offensive firepower but it's the defense of the Carolina Panthers that are the best in the division without question and they're playing well today their front seven is really so far controlling Seattle at the at the line of scrimmage Seahawks get their first first down of the game at the 28 yard line [Applause] listen again to which some tough yards there before Charles Godfrey and they come up from the safety position big challenge on those defensive tackles these young guys inside here with Marshawn Lynch look at that vision and cutting back up inside we're supposed to press it outside sees the crease inside he just loved the way Marshawn Lynch runs with those split legs and stability and balance and power he is the king 5 to 7 yard grinder Robert Urban in at running back from the 35 yard line comes the pressure bird on the carry just across the 35 it'll be a third down for the Seahawks and pressure has been the whole story for Russell Wilson lucky didn't take a safety there or throw an interception back in his own endzone guys are all low bro he's got no throw the football so good pressure and really good coverage down the field there's and receivers for Russell Wilson they've gone to the quit hitters the limb quickhitch routes scream game we have to stick to more of that turban stains in three wide receivers on third and three [Applause] Oh this is pass on target [Applause] [Applause] [Music] digging out of the hole and now the Seahawks have slipped the field position game and that's been part of the challenge for Wilson so far along with that Panthers DFS Pete Carroll by the way a week from today turned 62 years old and as the energy of it 19 year old son burns about five nowhere to go for Marshawn Lynch hey watch short the rookie from Purdue clogging the middle and that will bring an end to the first quarter the defense is in control the Seahawks and the Panthers in the heat of the South are scoreless after one on the NFL on Fox [Music] fans players coaches we waited a long time for this NFL regular season as we begin the second quarter and Marshawn Lynch carries John piece and bringing him down nobody ran it more in the NFL last year than the Seattle Seahawks I told you how good it was to get John Lynch back this play he's gotten our excuse me John Beeson has got an opportunity to get out to the edge with Lynch but John Beeson just does a great job of flowing down the line of scrimmage and holds it to a minimum game yeah John Rich calling the game on Fox in New York where the Buccaneers have just gone in front of the chest on third down Russell Wilson out of a pocket droves and complete stood Sidney Rice for a first down and nobody threw more passes out of the pocket last year in the NFL than Russell Wilson 25 percent of the sub and he never panics and and he knows the grit so he knows where Sidney Rice is gonna post up right here in between these defenders in the soft spot of the zone that's really the first good completion where they've driven it down the field a little bit they've really gone to the to the quick game rice course coming off that knee surgery where went to Switzerland after a gain of 14 to tight ends Jim Wilson [Applause] just across the 35 by the full-back Derrick Coleman second-year player UCLA who forced Michael Robinson out of the Seahawk roster in Coleman a unique story he is legally deaf said at the age of three the hearing just went he feels fine so he reads lips she works with hand signals and it's a player that Pete Carroll says cannot only block at fullback but do some things that sail back as well I don't know if they there Derrick Coleman or the other Spencer where are certainly better than Michael Robinson but it's two for one for if they're a lot cheaper now I think Michael Robinson was very healthy and second down run to Marshawn Lynch Carolina defense with Starla to lay the rookie from Utah State company clog up the middle Greg Hardy also those two can you think about the defensive ends and the young guys you talked about in the middle it really does bring it up a notch with his Panther defense and they desperately needed inside players at the defensive tackle position in this star luteal a of sideline rent confirms to get back for everyone fifteen pounds [Applause] third and three for Russell Wilson he floats one gets harder inside the 15 the Carolina and the Seahawks their most impressive drive of the day Doug Baldwin coming out of the slot and they just looked like Captain mutter 'ln just got picked off by his own player Josh Thomas now there was no contact with the concept of the route certainly in that man coverage was able to free up Doug Baldwin nice throw by Russell Wilson 25-yard pickup their deepest penetration so far today look like Russell Wilson Lynch before we play brings him down and if you're a Seahawks fan or one that didn't pay attention wondering about Percy Harvin that situation maybe midweek on the injury list Russell Wilson still trying to point out what he wants to do nobody on the same page in terms of getting the snap at the right time then big number 98 I told you that guy now he wouldn't block that time there was a breakdown he is a sideline to sideline runner he is a terrific player Sidney Rice bottom of your screen second and 13 for the 14 yard line of Carolina [Applause] enzone throw for Sydney Rice's incomplete they're going to get a hold I believe outside here on the right side of the line 10-yard penalty repeat second down that'll Bank the Seahawks up even more after they got inside the 12 yard line negative yardage on that snap and Rondinella penalty which you love about what Carolina is able to do right now is they're getting pressure with four they're not having to send the Blitz which means they got seven in coverage they are forcing Seattle to keep an extra guy or two in the protector you've got seven on on four in terms of coverage defensively you're going to win most of the time if you can heat up the quarterback Steve a little subsection of wide receiver [Applause] pounds around the 18 bring up third down they need to get down inside the one yard line for a first down [Music] and this has been his most comfortable drawing about what they've done other than the Sidney Rice play read standing it outside the pocket is they've just gone to the quick passing game where he's found his success third and 17 Robert Thurman switched to the top of your screen as a receipt on his good hands listen completes to the tight ends [Applause] [Music] Stephen Hoskin who played some college football at NC State actually came to the school here in the Carolinas is a soccer player was eight of nine in the preseason had a 61 yarder that was his only miss that bounced off the crossbar how about this number last year he did not miss one field goal under 49 yards and this one within that range a 22 yard try John Ryan the holder [Applause] and if there's break the scoreless tie here in the second quarter so Seattle with a three nothing advantage [Music] today's game on Fox is sponsored by the 2013 Ford f-150 with EcoBoost by the samsung galaxy s4 the next big thing is here and by KFC the official sponsor of couch gating KFC Plus football equals a couch gating Luke Kuechly who led the NFL in tackles last year as a rookie showing some leadership skills with that man third offense they got pushed around for 8 minutes and 46 seconds to help Seattle to a fool and to a man this this defense you asked the other players about Luke Kuechly they said he came in last year shy quiet didn't say anything Defensive Rookie of the Year as you said he is now a full-blown vocal leader for this football team it'll go through the end zone is Ted Ginn watches the ball sail through and the Panthers in camp Newton take over at the 20 yard line trailing by three [Music] Russell Wilson was seven out of seven on that last drive to get the Seahawks on the board What did he say that soundbite we played it start you got a weather the storm especially early so far Russell Wilson has weathered the storm Cam Newton leading the Panthers from the 20-yard line Greg Olson avulsion DeAngelo Williams the current in Ryan Chris Myers sure the second quarter we wanted to do our booth in the Charlotte how about the Panthers going toe to toe the underdog Panthers with the playoffs Seahawks from West so far so good I mean defensively to me the defensive line has really controlled this game so far for Carolina now offensively and they've done a good job you've got to seize every opportunity you get and make plays when given the opportunity great Bulls not too big drops he's got to be able to make those catches for his quarterback but on second down baby this time he holds our you're the 48-yard line [Applause] it's a really nice job by Byron Bell right there who's able to just push read Bryant by the quarterback which frees it up for Gregg Olson finds a little soft spot in the zone Cam Newton steps up and throws the strike and that's what I'm talking about if you're Gregg Olson great opportunity make the play there close to midfield a 26 yard pickup the whole key though with Byron Dome because red Bryant had him beat with the pass rush he was able to recover it push him by the quarterback Olson goes to the top of your screen but they throw it the other one he Angela Williams who was knocked down [Applause] near another Carolina first up and he did get the first down movement James [Applause] what's Ryan Khalil the center getting out in front up DeAngelo Williams and none of the defensive linemen see it you get a nice block there from travell Wharton Brian Khalil trying his best but DeAngelo Williams in the open field is pretty darn good and people forgot about him last year last time he was on the field against the Saints 210 yards rushing week 17 he's found a lose yardage on that Byron Maxwell back up defensive back back at corner I should say knock the ball loose well you remember last year as this game was going on these two teams was kind of in the same area at the Angela Williams mountain space and Brandon browner the corner came up and knocked it out Seattle recovered it and really changed the momentum of the football game DeAngelo Williams lucky as maxwell literally punched that out with his right hand that it went out of bounds it was a game that the Panthers led at the half but in the second half Russell Wilson and the Seahawks took the lead and then held on defensively for Road win of last year so for that theme sell true not a lot of pass rush for Seattle at the 36 yard line is Greg Olson let's check in for another neat break with Joel Blair the reigning MVP doing work again Adrian Peterson's second touchdown of this game he had a 78 yard score on his first touch 14 6 Minnesota tim does he get the 2500 yards and lead the Vikings back to the oil and they feed him the the rock like they did in the last ten games last year he'll get enough touches to get that accomplished you better for a 5-4 remember last year they started him slow coming off that knee in here third down and six [Applause] [Music] this is a called run and he is gonna read Tony McDaniel who takes an inside rush watch his Cam Newton reads it put his foot in the ground take off Mayo a misses the tackle he is such a fantastic runner because he's so big grips the decision on where to take the ball but Cam Newton is down and wait he is absolutely chiseled though it's still 247 pounds every bit of sense to for a leading rusher last year the Angela Williams inside the truck inside the 15 it's 30 he's running you and I think this heat is starting to have an effect what's read Brian right there really can't get off the block and then he just kind of turns and looks not a lot of death up front here with Seattle defensive line because of their injuries and Jeff Myers has gone in at right guard instead of travell warns who win it for Gary Williams and had the injury that is questionable the 12 yard pickup they the closer they get down to the goal line the more of a and press he comes with his life this time [Music] Bobby Wagner who was you second to the NFL in tackles behind Luke Kuechly last year led the charge this offense I know they talked it's the same philosophies with Judd since he was here last year now with Mike Shula taking over they say a lot of the concepts are the same I think Ron Rivera the head coach there and the way he pared it down last year it looks different to me it is a more patient take with the diecut defense gives you offense a more traditional Greg Olson bottom of your screen Mike Tolbert the running back which brought me up at the top of your screen and he can't hold up [Applause] Seahawks were sorting out where everybody was you might want this ball location down inside a little more of your Cam Newton because the receivers opening up it's a pretty good throw but because it was high what Maxwell get his right hand in there and pop it out third and seven from the 11 yard line of the Seahawks Seattle with a three nothing lead in under four minutes to play in the second quarter [Applause] [Applause] it's good enough for a first end goal [Applause] then we rush three drop a candle see Steve Smith underneath throws the ball Steve Smith still terrific hit running after the catch watch him he's just gonna take it right to the outside Maxwell was trying to push him to the sidelines Steve Smith Busch picks up the first down he's only five foot nine his third catch and now he splits out to the right top of your screen for Newton got first and goal people say he found the Fountain of Youth [Music] [Applause] what a great and good recognition just a little crossing route in front of the goal line but great recognition by camp nuke he saw all the defenders go with Greg Olson to the corner route that opened up a nice little window right across the goal line for Steve Smith for the touchdown Knights drive a drive of 80 yards and Graham good old to have the extra point and does nearly six and a half minutes that it's capped off by the veteran Steve Smith dance sing in the endzone Panthers lead seven three Cam Newton with six out of seven throwing in that drive for 52 yards capped off by the touchdown and a big part of that drive with Greg Olson watch him take the corner around here and watch two and a half defenders right there go with them and you see KJ right now looking back knowing oh no I just opened up that window for Steve Smith that is a really really good play call by Mike Shula and the course cam got him down there with some big plays to griggles the kick for Jermaine Kearse who watches it go out of the end zone Seahawks take over on offense at the 20 yard line but now Russell Wilson trailing 73 water back coach Ken Dorsey with Camden talked to him before the game and he was saying we know camps a terrific athlete but he really prepares of studies hard people don't really think of him in that vein but he's evident of that and in his shoulder but if Savannah tours with Mike Shula creating a different offensive approach this year and cam told us the other day that Ken Dorsey has been a saving grace really and off the links up push down you know March John Lynch in the last if you go back the last 25 games and 16 of those he's he's had a hundred yards he's the workhorse and he's wood makes everything else kill Chris he lost 10 pounds going into the 2011 season and he has been on fire ever since nobody has more rushing yards in the last two years in March I went to the importance of dropping those 10 lb from the 20-yard line Russell Wilson rolls out throws on down that was an exceptional throw on the ball spinning here I like the play call by Darrell dumped all the way to neutralize some of the pass rush get your quarterback out on the edge a little bootleg action what's Russell Wilson's delivery looks like a second baseman right 21-yard gain the Seahawks courage of the line each team with all three of their timeouts the seventies and slides into Carolina territory we are gonna hit the two-minute warning the Panthers have a 7-3 lead but Pete Carroll's Seahawks are on the move here it's kickoff weekend [Music] Russell Wilson watch him on this little bootleg and just that throwing motion and delivery that's all that baseball that he played in the course played for the Colorado Colorado Rockies in their minor league system you should see him work on that Chris magic Cary's throws down all three timeouts Seattle has theirs after the Panthers when they move the chains yeah the minor league career Russell Wilson waited for the actual team here in the Carolinas National Tourist said the baseball you know you had to focus on every pitch pitch by pitch be patient and it has helped him in football play by play snapped by snap trying to get the Seahawks into the end zone here from the 45 of Carolina bring about some second-year quarterbacks how that game start the Keithley got their first look at Luke Kuechly look at the rage and you talk about a voter fueled with desire Luke Kuechly has got all of it just focus on him as all the action ends up going left and then comes back to the right look at him get away from James carpenter get on his horse and then just visit both style of tackling his ability to run and hit is uncanny he can be one of the best he Carol summoned for a first down they need about ten or so to get in field goal range see how they play these next few bomb goes off Robert urban as was down to the bottom of your screen [Applause] perfect I need to call the Blitz and there's a flag girl [Applause] everybody big job Kamini swung swung and somebody had looked like maybe a Frank Alexander who Steve Smith is doing a little talking to that really tried to focus on getting the instigator this year I think that's a big point of emphasis with the referees they're trying to get the instigator they're marking it all up against the Panthers and it's going to put the ball at the 40 and give Seattle a first down the 40 of Carolina now that's a disaster at this point in the game after a big time momentum play and pushing him back across the 50 to get a bonehead penalty like that after the play personal foul unnecessary roughness number 19 fifteen yards [Applause] play and number 9 he's actually disqualified himself from the game Frank Alexander has been ejected second-year player from Oklahoma do you see Ron Rivera just some get your butt out of here and go to the locker room there he is on jock Kamini he's pushing him in the face and then throws a left jab triplet caught in the middle of it looks like an open hand hit him in the face look at Steve Smith everybody telling him get out of here man when he's got to feel awful Seattle with 113 to go instead of a 13 yard loss on a sack they pick up 15 on a penalty Robert urban is in it running better if they get some points in the last in at 13 Frank Alexander may not have a job on Monday which 4235 determined but we're gonna have a timeout from Seattle the two remaining [Applause] P Carol is sweating in the heat and humidity see misters going behind the the television event of the season finally here Monday September 16th the legend is reborn from the writers and producers of Star Trek known as the epic series premiere of Sleepy Hollow this town is anything but sleepy Monday September 16th at 9/8 central on Fox NFL scoring last year was the highest it's been in nearly five decades but here it's been a defensive struggle as the Seahawks trail seven three and phases second and five from just over the 35 yard line and still you got the whole PlayBook wide open here with two timeouts left on the board for us [Applause] Russell Wilson [Applause] all the way down to the 13 yard line a patient throw from the pocket and steering guys with his eyes he looks at turban has checked out running back and ends up pulling a safety and linebacker Luke Kuechly over there which open the big window behind him for Doug Baldwin first and 10 efforts 23 yard games and a scramble for the football I don't know if he got it back [Applause] that look tells you a lot [Applause] Charles Johnson came up with the fumble Russell Wilson had Robert Urban out to the lapped if he wanted him he never looked that way and there's been nobody better going back to last year than Charles Johnson when you get to the quarterback get it out forcing the fumble there can't be anybody happier than Frank Alexander right now there's been eject out of this game and sent to the locker room you bail each other out Johnson twelve and a half sacks last year big money that going and he came up big that was a first down play for the Seahawks in we're already at field goal range and now it's Carolina football with three timeouts Russell Wilson has got to have that internal clock in his head when it strikes three seconds you got to feel like there's gonna be some pressure coming and get the ball out Ian Roberts urban wide open to the left watch he's been harassed all afternoon [Applause] and will Carolina play it safe or trying to get some more [Applause] and it's across me 26 yard line vendors can win and run or use their timeouts piece a halftime report coming up all the scores and highlights of opening day in the National Football League kickoff weekend in the division of the Panthers the Buccaneers are leading and the Falcons and Saints New Orleans has gone in front of Atlanta and the Seahawks have some work to do course their division rival 49ers play later on Fox Seattle will get the ball to start the second half as they trail at the half 7 2 3 here in Charlotte North Carolina let's head to New York at Times Square and Curt Menefee let the good times roll [Music] [Music] Charlotte to Brian Chris Myers the last three times the Seahawks have opened the season on the road they've lost their trailing here ready to get the football we talked about the headliners Cam Newton and Russel Wilson but defense has been the story absolutely has been the story and really given Seattle a taste of their own medicine you know you look at Marshawn Lynch to seven and carry out of Russell Wilson's 15 pass attempts they have buried him seven times they've hit him four times and then of course the huge sack right there pushing them how to field goal range right and that one and then Charles Johnson with the forced fumble to a couple of really big plays that defense control in this game Russell Wilson has been under pressure all afternoon and he'll have a chance to respond to that in just a moment follow your favorite team all season long go to iTunes dot-com / NFL Cam Newton who was relaxed and comfortable and calm when we sat with him on Friday after practice and of course the chiseled frame he's played a a very conditioned and kind of a controlled game I've been really impressed with him and most importantly I think it goes back to the theme that we talked about to start the broadcast is the pass rush by the Seattle Seahawks and all the firepower they're missing because of injury or suspension let's check in down on the field with Jennifer Hale Jen Ron Rivera tells me he has been impressed and pleased with Cam Newton's steadiness and consistency it's what they wanted out of him and it's what they're getting out of him meanwhile Pete Carroll says he is extremely impressed with Camden was commanded this offense and the patience I asked him are you at all concerned about your strength up front for your defense with the the players are missing and he said no we've dealt with it all preseason we just have to get in the groove just watch the second half thanks Jeff Russell Wilson started out one on a fine but he's hit on his last ten passes completing the lady tremaine personal first out from the 20 Wilson's in trouble but he unloads down at the 26 yard line by Keithley and I was thinking right away they need to get him out on the bootlegs they're getting after him they need to get him out on the bootlegs well Caroline is thinking the same thing Shawn McDermott the defensive coordinator probably told us guys at halftime look they're gonna go to the boot game they're gonna go to the quick pass let's play it now they force the ball out of Russell Wilson's hands quick there was not the support coverage but behind him and they're able to pick up five or six yards shipping race and motion to the top of your screen there's a whistle and a flag Seahawks folks start number 75 in the offense five-yard penalty still second down that's on Mike person that's their fourth penalty Carolina has just had one so far and they use person as that extra tide and here's the numbers right here and fairly even now the big one obviously is rush yards for Carolina I never would have thought DeAngelo Williams will be outrunning Marshawn Lynch and then the turnover turnovers are never good but when you're in scoring position they're even worse that was a big-time play by Charles Johnson backed up from the 21 on second and nine Quentin Michael who was signed a week ago knocked it away from Sydney rice and his plane because Mike Mitchell is out of the cabin and they're playing what they expect the short pass he gave quit Michael started deep game Russell Wilson the look that we're gonna have two deep safeties and then he basically just crept up and robbed that crowd knew and they were just gonna turn around and run a stop round with Sydney rights good scheme better execution now third and nine [Applause] also time [Applause] he snared it out of the air is a flag down back at the 50-yard line the 21-yard gain but let's wait all over there holding number 76 the offense that penalty is declined holding number 67 of the offense that their name is accepted you said it hold everything everybody pick up a quiz - that's dead ago coupe bad news for the Seahawks and there is it's both on the left side o Kuhn and the question at left guard you know what Michael I you talked about the veterans safety who played for the Rams the last couple of seasons and Ron Rivera said he faced Seattle twice a year in the last couple years we're gonna check his brain on some of the things they do he's been a help to this Carolina defense max underneath where I invaded his Golden Tate getting up near the 28 yard line before Keith Lee brings him down and he got a lot out of a little but it's gonna be fourth down tell you not being able to run the ball with Marshawn Lynch has put them really up against it in too long down in distance situations in Carolina is just gonna playoff coverage let him complete him underneath and rally up and make the tackle before they get to the first down sticks Russel Wilson had a string of 11 passes completed in a row snapped in that drive I have not seen a team defensively be able to hem up Russell Wilson in the pocket like Carolina's been able to do today John Ryan holds it for Ted Ginn jr. when [Applause] scramble for the ball that hit a Carolina player and the Seahawks were always like they're all over there's a flag down at the 45-yard line we've already had one player thrown out of the game yeah and I think that might be on a seattle player trying to rip a player off the file by his leg Frank Alexander rejected in the first half Panthers defense and lamented hemostat second americo's came up with the ball on the way that it hit it looked like it bounced right into a Carolina player which of course makes it a live ball take a closer look at where that ball hit and who had may have bounced off of will have a better idea the putt was touched by the receivers and recovered by Seattle after the play unsportsmanlike conduct number 50 of Seattle toning 15 yards first day on Seattle kg Wright called for the recovery or for the penalty after Maragos came up with the football so after all that the Seahawks have a first down near midfield today's game on Fox is sponsored by Southwest Airlines find their fares online only at southwest.com by Miller Lite it's not just a good time it's Miller time by State Farm it pays to double check talk to your agent today and by DIRECTV if you call yourself a sports fan you've got to get DIRECTV Jeff Triplett reviewed the play and let's see what he has to say after review the ruling on the field is confirmed the punt was touched by number 22 of Carolina Josh Thomas and then Seattle recovers with Maragos I want you to watch Ted Ginn right there he's yelling he's screaming poison poison get away Josh Thomas does not is he's trying to still block Byron Maxwell he falls on the ground the ball hits him in the leg as soon as it does it becomes alive that's a big play at the big turnout in special teams takeaway for Seattle and from midfield Marsan have such first down picks up four on first down the Seahawks run 64 percent of the time that's the highest in the NFL and the problem is last year for defenses they all knew it was coming they still couldn't stop it that's not been the case today with this Carolina group they have been impressive look at that number for John Glenn's 2.8 and carry Seattle traveling into the eastern time zones away on the 10 o'clock Pacific time Carol moved the practices in training camp to 10:00 a.m. [Applause] where Baldwin waived off on a rich lesson completely honest we try to keep the Seahawks on that time clock because they just even with Pete Carroll of the success they've had since he's been here winning in the Eastern time zone when it's a one o'clock Eastern 10:00 a.m. Pacific kick is put a problem doctrine and it's all about the 10:00 a.m. pick better than the West coat even in a central that's right that's right and as you said they tried cracks in the 10 o'clock throughout training camp to get their bodies right simulate this heat hard to simulate this activity they're dead after they caught Wilson [Applause] [Music] first down Thomas Davis wouldn't let it go three three years of knee surgery Lee chase down the diminutive quarter but you loved you want a testament and hard work and determination and probably a good surgeon once Thomas Davis here he is 58 I like that he just never bites on Russell Wilson in the pump fake you know Russell Wilson he's challenging the line of scrimmage with his eyes out but he's pumping and like he's going to throw it clearly Thomas Davis was assigned to Russell Wilson on that play as a spy he went got him before he could get the first down Brian with a high kick to tech in junior this for a first gets right at the 10-yard line and the Panthers will get a second half possession on offense their defense has done the job so far they have a seven three third quarter leading Seahawks traveling's of the Pacific Northwest last year they traveled over 35,000 miles more than any team of the league and just for a reference point to travel the world around the world is 25,000 their heels on defense first and ten Carolina from the ten its DeAngelo Williams bringing up second down you know let's check in down on the field with Jeff Hale 84 degrees down you're like 92 I live in New Orleans and this is ruining for me desperately trying to combat this humidity they've got shade screens over their players they've got cooling gloves on their hands basically a lot of blood goes through the fingers so this is ice water running over the fingers trying to clean thanks Janet on the cross-country flight alpha hero has the guys hydrate for these conditions it'll bring up Thursday kam chancellor coming up to make the tackle the slogan for rod Rivera remember we said start strong for his team but also one of the mantras of the Panthers has been keep pounding and then that's what they're gonna have to do here after they have started strong in this game and I think big picture looking at him they got a start season's better I mean this club has saved that the the job of the head coach over the last two years with strong finishes Ron is a very good coach he's a good friend of mine which is he is not which again on the sidelines in terms of the calm demeanor I know the players and talking to him they feed off of his energy but they get a start season's better last two [Applause] Ted Ginn jr. his first year as a member of the Panthers and guys are just getting bounced around inside his pass rushers what Stoney McDaniel and Michael Bennett going against backup guards getting pinball you don't get any inside pressure on Cam Newton I don't care what you do on the outside if you get you know once those defensive ends get passed indefinitely the quarterback Cam Newton is just gonna step up in a very nice pocket stand tall and deliver an accurate ball boom Ted Ginn Junior's first catches a member of the Panthers coming over from the 49ers a former Miami Dolphin [Applause] listen Mike Shula said Allah yam the news our city it's stronger than he even places and Mike Shula is calling a whale of a game once his deep comeback by Steve Smith he's pressing it now he's just gonna turn come back to the football again not a lot of pressure on Cam Newton was the play-action he is untouched and throws another very good football that's a Steve Smith who had some interesting words about the former offensive coordinator Rob Kazinsky was the head coach in Cleveland with Mike Shula moving up to the coordinator spot here forced the son of Don Shula and the brother update Shula very impressive so far [Music] second - it's not gonna be third down correction on that third and short tell you another thing I think it's obvious in watching this team is getting Cam Newton and this being Mike Shula the Oakland coordinator showed me the terminology in terms of the play call getting it in quicker letting Cam Newton get to the line of scrimmage quicker get a bigger snapshot of the defense and as they like st. uncover the defense in terms of getting the free snap read Steve's new checks out we haven't seen a lot of the read option very little in fact that the threat remains there for the Seattle defense on 3rd and 1 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] mine took a stand and this one might get measured it's really really close now the smooth part of that get there early can't chance we're coming up time of possession relatively equal in this game the only touchdown Steve Smith on one side please line up for the pilot fourth edition Michael Smith you saw there made the tackle he's a good young player late draft pick out of USC but I think before it's all said and done when Bruce Urban comes back from that suspension that research project and experiment is real Bruce Irvin is going to go to the strong side linebacker spot and they are going to bring out the chains and measure in that you touched on it no Chris Clemons they hope for the next couple of weeks no quiff April they hope they'll be back next week from a hamstring injury and Bruce Irvin misses the first four games because of suspension and on top of that and Jordan held their third round pick they're just short out of Penn State [Applause] there is a question here you got a pun I think he got upon it at this spot in the field and this in this tide of a game as well as your defenses plan I know you'd love to keep momentum I think the opponent but back to Seattle and their defensive line and the inside rusher they don't really have one that they can count on and Jordan held their third round pick also out of this game with a biceps injury and he was their best rusher and training camp from the inside Golden State back to return Brad northland standing in the Carolinas water it's just sort of the 20-yard line Gordon Sen got down there after a 46-yard boot six penalties call him to Seahawks so far just one on the Panthers we've had a turnover for each team Russell Wilson lost a fumble and then a fumble on special teams for Carolina unsportsmanlike Monda kicking game number 36 was out of bounds and did not attempt in the back end immediately the 15 yards and it hit the art new head the end of the play first down Arman Smith that's right and Arman Smith as you go out of bounds the rule used to be immediately you got to get back in the new addendum to it is you know reasonable time to try to angle and get back in interesting a tightly contested defensive battle here in his cabinet and set on open again kickoff weekend we're all undefeated [Applause] [Music] know that a first down [Music] Seahawks have run for just 41 yards today that's surprising music Marshawn Lynch in the success I love the eyes of Russell Wilson who's really looking over this way to quit Michael who showed like he was going to play up in the box as a coverage defender as soon as he dropped out to get deep Russell Wilson saw [Music] until they've lost the art Josh Thomas became up from his corner position hey Jim never be without football get coverage of every NFL game on NFL mobile call star star NFL to download it now that's star star and star NFL star the tool day has been the star today the rookie for the male I have been so impressed with him Chris what a great pic at a you cause a first-round or defensive lineman just been in the run stuff he is really provided significant push right up the gut Wilson space as a Russian to Thomas again in the temple is smooth but mighty according to Ron Rivera they picked him up off waivers last year started the season off Dallas he has had a couple of big rocket shots here in the last two places attack and there were concerns as good as the Panthers defense the secondary but so far they've kept Russell Wilson out of the endzone good rush that would have been on average secondary every time they need to get to the 40-yard line of Terrell the selection mode [Applause] came back to the football and it's a first down in the elusive keep it alive approaching Russell Wilson Macbeth how do you today major gain of 13 hurrying to the line of course because they don't want to they don't want to challenge to come this way [Applause] Talent yeah well there's a penalty because it looks like player was not off the field let's check the feet on where Baldwin came back to the football clearly both feet in right there Carolina is challenging the ruling on the pale has been reading ham that's gonna be a catch that is absolutely a catch both feet inbounds firm grip and control by Doug Baldwin Jim that was an answered prayer whoa that's under review [Music] desperate situation for Russell Wilson but he didn't go to pieces on that throne of Prayer yeah it was a prayer and even a prayer look at that hit low from Duan Edwards high from Greg Hardy just gets absolutely blasted throws it up perfect johnny-on-the-spot Doug Baldwin who's had a very good day and he got both feet inbounds firm grip and most importantly at that point once he established possession in bounds cross possessed the ball all the way through the ground and finished the process and they look there was a flag the official picked that up and then Ron Rivera challenged so Jeff Triplett has had a chance to review what is a 13 yard catch and first down if it stands after if you Girling on the field is confirmed receiver head to feet down caught the ball and maintained possessions were out going to the ground Carolina is charged a timeout Doug Baldwin came back that's part of that I don't know he called it a scramble drill but he was ready for where his quarterback is and this could be one of those I know we're only in the third quarter but a real tipping point you think they suited up that way you really think they drew enough that wasn't a scramble drill for Russell he had nowhere to go was awesome awesome I mean the guys barely 511 I don't even know how he could see that far down I don't think he can I think a big part of it Chris is he's got that mental picture guys mind [Music] he took from the 35 Russell [Music] [Applause] before he goes out of bounds let's get a game break check in with Joel over plan you guys got a couple of good young quarterbacks well we might have another one in Buffalo EJ Manuel is second touchdown pass of the day this 118 yards to Stevie Johnson an upset brewing we may have an upset here to the underdog Panthers leading at home of the Seahawks on the move [Applause] this time he gets rid of as he goes to the turf Charles Johnson Greg Hardy made it difficult on there's a flag down penalty black came in late Russell Wilson is getting ginger browning number three the ball we placed at the spot in the past la sit down take it down to clarify that in the Wow you can throw it away but it's got to cross the line of scrimmage but you got to be outside of the pocket and Russell Wilson right here when he unloads this ball he'll really really probably on the line to not you know being in the pocket versus out of the pocket that's a judgment call and that's what Pete Carroll's talking to the official about rained everything he's thrown away in Chris in the pocket only when you're out of the pocket so now they're back at the 38-yard line it's second down at 31 Wilson will try to get some of it back [Applause] [Music] to get to the 30 bring up third down john theisen wouldn't let him get away Chris how many Seattle games did we do last year a bunch rifle dosa yeah it was so much fun to watch him develop and watch this kid develop and Russell Wilson I have never seen him get hit and pressured and hemmed up in the pocket like the Carolina Panthers defense has been able to do today so impressed and the offensive line of Seattle which had done a good job to help spring Lynch and to help protect Russell Wilson is getting pushed away I remember needing the last year we had the rampage six sacks by the st. Louis Rams that was the problem at the end of last season now third down they need to get to the ink yard line [Applause] the active linebackers for the Panthers today Thomas Davis wouldn't let it go so Steven Houska will trot out you can see Russell Wilson wants to escape and get outside the pocket you can see it but the defensive line and it's just mainly been a four-man rush for Carolina they are playing it perfectly if the ends get too far past the devil they put the brakes on they're not giving him any escape doors he hit one earlier this a 40-yard try to get the see box to within warm [Applause] antoshka delivers see you in the third quarter Russell Wilson taken a beating but the Seahawks have moved it within one [Music] the Panthers have had a lot to do with it but the weather helping Carolina with an advantage over Seattle the heat and humidity tis tough to measure humidity unless you're standing around in it but they bring their own shade tent you heard Jen Hales report on other things that helped keep the team cool but nothing cool it off that Panthers defense which kept Seattle out of the end zone again as the Seahawk drive stalls Houska made the field goal to kickoff and once again no return [Music] Wednesday on an all-new episode of The Ultimate Fighter the tension between rival coaches Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate boils over when their number one picks square off in one of the most shocking battles in Ultimate Fighter history don't miss an all-new episode of The Ultimate Fighter this Wednesday only on Fox Sports 1 I don't miss that one trick I know you're high don't miss that one they got one fighter I think he's on Cates team Chris ballinger awesome by the way happy birthday Tim Ryan your birthday today quietly snuck that up up thank you my friend I forgot about it did you just send it we'll celebrate later [Applause] on first and 10 from the 20 laser across the 30 and Steve Smith with the first down catch we haven't seen the Steve Smith Richard Sherman show we thought we would see but would like they move Steve around quite a bit and they're using them a lot on the crossing routes and the underneath quick hitters and the seeds good ball location there from Cam Newton who talked about that he said look they play a lot of zone in Seattle despite what you hear that they play man coverage all over the place they do a lot with their corners but there's a lot of zone between the numbers low bulk location is always key to not getting any of those tips that end up being interceptions good stuff it's six Smith with Sherman this time top of your screen [Music] [Applause] Thomas on the tackle the cam made something happen there can they put the pressure on him that time they sent the pressure Malcolm Smith the linebacker but I think him no I've seen amateur changed Cam Newton he's taken what the defense gives him he's very patient you know as good as it's looked it's it's still a one-point game at seven six in ten relying on his teammates not trying to do anything for us which end up you try yourself in mistakes 70 but [Music] [Applause] he's hip no it's not it made it back to the line of scrimmage big red Brian weighs three hundred and thirty or so was over there blocking his view but Cam Newton in two seasons in this game he's been involved in sixty three touchdowns whether by throw or by run but trying to get the team over that seven and nine record they won their last four regular season games trying to get the Panthers to the playoffs of this his third season may be time to open up a little read option for him well here pretty quick in this game on third and three [Applause] close to the first down and it is a first down and a big first down and keep the football had a feeling that was coming late in the third quarter good call enough you knew it why does the Seahawk D so you can know it you still got to stop it he is such a big bodied guy as Pete Carroll said he runs like a premier running back in this league and when it's crunch time Ron Adair also told us we want the ball in our best players hands that's cam knew he's only run it three times today but that was for a big first down and there's a flag down back at the 35 yard number 75 in the offense 10-yard penalty repeat second down Chris Scott the resort of having to step in a guard called for the penalty and there he is left guard right there he's pulling out they call that Mali protection when the offensive guard you don't see a lot of it anymore in the NFL and they pull him out to get the edge rusher and that time Chris Scott got his hands on and would not let go of Michael Bennett from the 32 yard line it will be first in 20 for the Panthers 4 seconds remaining here in the third quarter yes sir what a geek buddy contented forth Greg Olson with Jennifer Hale Jim R animal the blue chrismyers glad you're watching and the end of the third quarter the Panthers lead the Seahawks 7 to 6 in Charlotte Fox NFL Sunday will continue after a break from your local Fox station the defense's have hardly given an inch frustrating the coaches but Ron Rivera has a touchdown from Cam Newton to Steve Smith couple of field goals for Seattle at at seven six as we start the fourth quarter the Panthers in close games in the Rivera Cam Newton error seven points or less have a record of two and twelve they're trying to protect the one-point lead here at home on second it's waters [Applause] Greg Olson and push back it'll bring up third down anything excites you of these statistics throughout this quote again shocking right there in terms of only forty three rush yards in the game and then really with with two backup offensive guards and it doesn't pertain to this number because the protection for Cam Newton with two backup guards for the Carolina offense in camp Duke has rarely been touched in this game Russell Wilson has won the ball only twice right hundred yards passing but nothing in the end zone a third down and 12 from the 40 of Carolina plenty of time for Cam Newton he gets out of trouble [Applause] near the first down marker but he looks a bit short even with that six five frame and KJ right he's over there to keep him from the marker what a competitor how about cams already almost on the ground and he's still trying to drive those legs to get to the first down step look it and he is a tough sack and Mayo it just fell off of him but look at him here is he watch his legs look at him just keep driving as he's trying to get to that to that first down line to gain thirty three yards rushing for Cam Newton today he's thrown for 130 in the touchdown Dolan came back to receive the Northland puck Seahawks have had to earn every bit of their field position [Applause] 9 there's a flag down as well [Applause] nice job angle kicking angle coming in this game really putting the punt returner a 45-yard food in a position where he's either got to think about letting it go Golden Tate or hitting the ground where it might just bounce out of bounds I think that's why Tate's been returning them inside his 10-yard line because usually you know if hunter punts it it's going to you put your heels as a punt returner on the 10 if it goes over your head you let it go but with the angle punting and looking like it's going out of bounds I think we've seen Tate return a couple of those Jeff Triplett sorting it out the way the game started though with Seattle backed up at their own end of the field having to work their way up unsportsmanlike conduct kicking team number 36 went out of bounds and did not immediately return that Penner will be enforced from the end of the kick into the play 15 yards first down that's the second time against Arman Smith and Steve Smith no relation is given at all the penalty creates an awkward situation the second-year player for a second time today's game is sponsored by Geico 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance by Taco Bell's new fiery Doritos locos taco live mas and by Bud Light it's the sure sign of a good time here we go until you look at Arman Smith up here and he looks like he goes out on his own but comes right back in and of course that would only be a penalty at that point if he was the first guy to go down and touch the ball so to me that's a bad call and Ron Rivera the head coach is asking for an explanation from the officials and saying look explain it to my young player because something's going on here in terms of us not understanding what's going on and I also know they're moving people off the field here and I also think Jeff Triplett who keeps saying the official keep saying the referee you got to immediately come back in that is no longer the rule the rule now reads you've got an angle to return to the field in a reasonable amount of time it's an addendum to the rulebook [Music] there's a correction on the previous penalty enforcement it is a receiver going a friction a kicking team player going out of bounds voluntarily and immediately coming back in that is a five-yard penalty Seattle is elected to accept the five-yard penalty from the previous spot and retake and we have our former head of officials from the NFL command center Mike Barrera joining us with Tim Rida Chris Meyers Michael your thoughts yeah well that's exactly right he got to it finally but that's the gunner who went out of bounds on his own you can't do that that's a simple five-yard penalty I think they just when they were reporting it to each other I think they got a bit confused but ultimately at least they did get it straightened out hey Mike and by the way the the rule you're right Tim the rule does say you have to come back in a reasonable amount of time now it really doesn't say immediately I've already said if you're running parallel to the sidelines that's the crime and it was a reasonable amount of time and that's the five-yard penalty and correction Mike Pereira thank you Golden Tate gets back up across the 25 yard line where the Seahawks will finally take over on offense next to the second half our Fox NFL double-header Aaron Rodgers Colin Kaepernick's its elite quarterbacks 49ers Packers and up the playoffs last year coming up next at America's game of the week check local listings for the game in your area and they stop that read zone play the Green Bay Packers defensively Colin Kaepernick smoked him for a playoff record for a quarterback 181 yards rushing in that game first and 10 from the 26 Marshawn Lynch they get nothing Thomas Davis and Greg Hardy you know the last four games of last year the Panthers defense had a team record allowing a total of just 215 rushing yards Chris watched this play by Greg Hardy he stunts inside now watch him redirect that's the whole key he didn't penetrate too far he kept his eyes in the backfield and was able to redirect his body and direction down the line of scrimmage and get a tackle for loss that was awesome second at 11 [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] at the 31-yard line will bring up a third down Doug Baldwin was a loser seekers with the red you know as bad as it's looked for Russell Wilson in terms of all the shots and all the hits and all the pressures Chris's numbers are pretty darn good 19 to 26 212 yards and something to think about this is a second year he had five comebacks fourth-quarter wins last year four in the regular season one against the Redskins in the playoffs five fourth-quarter comebacks it's going to take that here for Russell Wilson to see how they feed on third down and five [Applause] is complete at the 43 to Golden Tate that is a great throw because it was good coverage and a great throw beats good coverage just about every time Josh Thomas you're gonna see it right here Russell Wilson collects the low snap watch him drive this ball and just right in front of the hand of the defender Josh Tom Thomas and on the hands of Golden Tate Doug Baldwin the leading receiver for the Seahawks today six catches 78 yards that's three for tape Brice only has two Robert Kirkman inside the 45 of Carlotta [Applause] [Music] the 15-yard run Luke Kuechly has got this bottled up on the inside but look at the fresh legs of Robert turbine cutting this baby all the way back then right there he just turns on the juice and leaves quitting Michael and finally Godfrey's able to take him down turbine stays in the game two receivers on the left side bottom of your screen Sydney Wiese [Applause] stinking it's amazing the pressure of the game situation Pete Carroll was telling us yesterday this former Arizona Cardinal Steven Williams owned the deep ball in practice he caught everything and really caught their eye and captured their attention really well thrown ball by Russell Wilson you got to pull that into yourself and catch that ball it's really that simple as he never really gets a firm grip pulls it in in the ground forces the incompletion Steven Williams is 6 foot 5 so a lot of frame and now second and 10 and a missed opportunity tight games like this fourth quarter you got to make those plays Russell Wilson still hazard - they personal touch - Seahawks [Applause] a 43-yard touchdown toss to the former washington husky local kid makes good in carolina russell wilson's starting to get a little time to throw the football and they've got two over one here on curse you got thomas in a trail position but godfrey you'll see him flashing your screen there is late getting over the top to help in coverage another perfectly thrown ball from russell wilson in that time curse unlike williams on the previous play plucks it right out of the air pulls it into his body puts up 6-points for his offense and that is Jermaine Kearse his first career NFL touchdown the free agent from Lakes High School in Washington State and for Russell Wilson he's thrown a touchdown pass now in 10 consecutive regular season games and 13 if you include well and I just keep hearing his mantra repeat in my head Chris weather the storm they're gonna it looks like they're gonna try and go for two here giving a five-point advantage following off Houska in the extra point and five points says go for two every time what you gotta get our own charger yeah yet the chart going you carry that you're I do pocket every way even when you go to the movies out to dinner yeah I got one for you too if you'd like alright let's see what do you think they're gonna call here then I got a runner you got this option for Russell Wilson get him out on the edge either throw it or Doug Baldwin top of your screen Sidney Rice Golden Tate at the bottom of your screen Marshawn Lynch splits in the slot there to the right of Russell Wilson a graphically average they had a lot of space for Russell Wilson to run to if he chooses to something they've worked up in training camp Wilson party after Doug Baldwin was back there but Greg Hardy put the heat on Russell Wilson 10 13 to go here in Charlotte North Carolina in the fourth quarter but Russell Wilson since your main curse has the Seattle Seahawks leading the home town Panthers Russell Wilson bringing his team back in the fourth quarter for a five point lead against a defense the Panthers allowed the third fewest plays the twenty yards or more last year that was the 43-yard touchdown working on Josh Thomas yeah in Darrell Bevell right there the offensive coordinator job well done is going after Josh Thomas two plays in a row with the deep ball Stephen Williams had beat him the play before couldn't catch it certainly Josh Thomas was on his horse running came right back at him and Exploited it Ted Ginn jr. watches it so camp boot he'll be leading the offense from the 20-yard line trailing and this is how things changed in the game Robert turbans and fresh legs on the ground and then the toss from Russell Wilson to Jermaine Seahawks Emily city's game on Fox is sponsored by GMC the official vehicle of the NFL Lama Tim Ryan Jennifer Hale on the field Chris fire thanks for watching wherever you're watching in the Deep South Pacific Northwest and those watching Fox up in Anchorage Alaska the NFL on Fox with Cam Newton try to lead his team back he's been able to play a very patient game so far you look at his numbers and where he is right now 15 to 21 remember two big drops early in the game by Greg Olson cams been solid more than solid [Applause] he gets hit hard let's check in down on the field with Jennifer him Krishna Jermaine Kearse for the Seahawks he had a reputation for drops back in college but he had LASIK surgery this offseason and he says it was just monumentally changing the best money he ever spent and and that was a big reason for the great pre-season you saw him have an income out of right now Chris recites it on the football and that one with the two defenders in the area for his first career NFL touchdown Cam Newton just got clotheslined around his neck on that last Williams that will bring up third down you know the Panthers we talked about starting strong in the last couple years their overall record in close games in seven points or less games decided their two and twelve listen and a lot of those in Ron Rivera will be the first one to tell you a lot of those they were leading those games system seven out of nine let's hold on to it it's not about plays and I think we all realize this defense at least I do at this point this defense is well coached this offense and it Mike Shula is welco Sloan the end of the day it's going to come down to your primetime with bears making a big play at an opportune time on third and seven this is one of those times [Music] gets rid of a lot of tobert there's a flag down they're gonna get on Michael Bennett for grabbing the Hat of Tim Newton and really trying to rip spinach and you'll see it right here Pete Carroll's decided he is coming with the Blitz and watch right here as he grabs the the mask and the helmet and just rips Michael Bennett Cam Newton still stays on his feet this is he is so strong and able to get rid of the ball it's incredible Michael Bennett who led the Buccaneers in sacks last year with nine toe injury is bothered under the preseason and signed to help with that pass rush that you talked about at the top of the broadcast with flipping brown and crisp lemons and Bruce Irvin missing today and it's a good changeup for Pete Carroll and sending the pressure but one thing you better be real careful now if you're gonna continue to do that the legs of Cam Newton that you with the big one in a heartbeat by running versus that man and there goes wrong another first down that penalty was big Tim because Seattle had their order to stop they're gonna get another one here I think for coming in late with the runner on the ground you cannot do that with the safety it's gonna attack some more yards on to it personal foul unnecessary roughness number 31 Livie been late to the power 15 yards I think medic first down son Pro Bowl safety kam chancellor and once the Angela Williams is on the ground there you cannot go in and leave with your shoulder and it looked ticky tack but Ellis closed it is but it's a big point of emphasis this year because as we all know player safety right at the top of the list when that players on the ground Chris he's defenseless now at the Seattle 43 first and 10 Carolina's Brandon LaFell in motion goes to the bottom of your screen gets inside the 41 check of a game break with Joe loquat well Kristen Tim Adrian Peterson is going to take off for the end zone again his third trip this time a touchdown cats break one up in Detroit 27:24 Lions Thank You Jo a tough battle within the division there also Atlanta New Orleans the Saints leading Atlanta the NFC South then Tampa Bay the other team that the Panthers will be thinking about of the sound they have a 1412 lead over the Jets of course the 49ers played tonight the Rams and Cardinals play later Christmas later today on second down Camden Pizza gets inside the 35 [Applause] we've only seen we've only seed this read-option a couple of times here in this game was a really nice job really is - DeAngelo Williams KJ right ran out there in canvas and that being short but that's what opened the window for him they reduce this thing last year in the back half of the season Robin told us they pared it down by 45% turns a cantaloupe running that read-option and he really became a better quarterback hey I'm third and one he might over gets the football I still get the first time [Applause] under seven minutes to play Seahawks with a five-point fourth quarter lead [Applause] you can see Mike Tolbert the TD machine when he was in San Diego and even here last year as the free agent he got into the end zone a bunch of times seven or eight he is a load on that short yardage stuff Camp Nou describing the Carolina fence chunks and punches that's what they want something here they got to try to get points out of this Drive Sue's hard as they work to get to the Seattle 32 benefiting on a penalty near another first up he's average at 4 yards a carry gets the Seattle beef and they get really good push by the right side of the offensive line but watch the lead block by Mike Tolbert on KJ right that's really good this opens a huge running lane for DeAngelo Williams Mike Tolbert is a big part of what they do here with the Carolina Panthers and that's kind of what Steve Chinook was talking about when he was talking about Chuck since he gets too cute really not using right Tolbert enough last year they need two for a first down [Applause] oh my goodness he laid it on the ground yeah and Thurman's got his helmet off I don't know what Walter Thurmond is doing with his helmet off and that's Earl Earl Earl Thomas scuse me with his helmet off Seahawks football he forced the fumble can't rip your helmet off in the field of play in celebration what a huge play by Earl Thomas blocked initially but comes in pursuit watch this right from behind and just knock this thing out after a 16 yard carry inside the 10 of the Seahawks and there it is for the Seahawks to recover a big defensive play by Seattle and they'll take over with a five-point lead [Music] the Angelou is slow to get up injured on the play or Oh Thomas caused the fumble Tony McDaniel recovered for Seattle first and 10 Marshawn Lynch trying to get outside [Applause] Boutique Leah Thomas Davis swarmed in the drop him of the Golan Chris a play is never over until it's over an Earl Thomas number 29 knows that watch him come up and miss the tackle here but he just keeps after it running after DeAngelo Williams and then punches that ball out that is a huge huge turnover by that cat right there Earl Thomas who by the way should have been penalized for ripping that helmet off good call because the officials in this that one loss of five on second and 15 see box at their own glory [Applause] Russell Wilson complete : near the 15-yard line Russell Wilson not shy and a tight game throwing out of his own end zone well would you love to do here and we're almost to that 4-minute drill right you'd love to get a first down here and then just start wearing out the ground game with Marshawn Lynch but I don't know if you can only up five points is good as Carolina has been in shutting that run game down today third out of three another tipping point [Applause] for in first got Seahawks Doug Baldwin is money and they are stacking he and Zack Miller up together to the right side of the formation and just running a little trail route where they trail one another coming out in that time that was Doug Baldwin trailing Zack Miller Zack broke up the field as soon as a couple of defenders went with him Baldwin comes back inside and gets he who's first down Baldwin the leading receiver in the game with seven catches for 91 yards from the 28 of C on first down okay look Equis is just so quick to key a play in terms of what he's seen in formation and diagnose what it is and then most importantly come finish in a hurry play of course Boston College twice he ran into Russell Wilson during his college days when Russell was at NC State and then again last year actually had an interception against Russell when Wilson and the Seahawks got their first road win of last year here in Carolina and we have a timeout Carolina so the Panthers are going to have one timeout remaining this Tuesday in the premiere of being the finest on Fox Sports 1 you follow the lives of NYPD officers who come together on the football field and honor their fallen brothers through their unforgettable 2013 season being the finest it premieres Tuesday only on Fox Sports 1 over get highlights shows or football daily show on Fox Sports 1 an early pregame show before the NFL on Fox pregame show I know you join chill club the guys earlier morning and our pregame crew with Terry Howie Kirk give me the gang Michael Strahan from Times Square in New York where the mall wind up in February the Super Bowl which you'll see on Fox [Applause] second down from the Seattle 31 Russell Wilson adoption not down at the 49 yard line take making a lot out of a little and pushing Russell Wilson over 300 yards passing and that's the first career 300-yard passing game for the second year for turbo man couldent ade he motions to the backfield then just runs a little flat route Russell Wilson sees it right away and then there took with two broken tackles the third and then finally gets slammed but not after a big game and a very important game and moving the ball near midfield it's amazing Russell Wilson as you said it went 300 as many times as he has gotten smashed chew it up this box under three minutes to go now let's get another game break and check in with Joel Klein all right guys Tim I know you've been waiting we wanted to wait until the Bears actually took the lead Jay Cutler the Brandon Marshall the 19-yard strike and the Bears are up 24 [Applause] thanks y'all close game there clothespin between the Falcons and the Saints close between the Bucks who lead the Jets pi/2 and the Lions who are up on three against the Vikings and here it's a five-point difference this league is high drama [Applause] wilson's throw [Applause] stops the clock Caroline in this situation and Tom cable is telling him right now study you gotta stay in bounce watch Marshawn Lynch right here step up and take charles johnson bag just ejects him right out of Russell Wilson's face Russell Wilson sees a little flat route and again of your Coleman you'd love to get as many yards as you can but know the situation right around two minutes fall down in bounds then you look like Tom Kane we down 80 pounds he's in great shape big NASCAR fan so worried about Jeff Gordon making it into the chase not worried about what he'll do today we're gonna we're gonna see Carolina use their last timeout and you still have the two-minute warning but the Panthers are gonna have to dig in here if they hope to get the football back I may have saved that timeout so laughter the two-minute warning with the birthday boy welcome to our food it's been a fun exciting defensive game we didn't see as much as the read option here with Russell Wilson at Camp Nou but what about our second half game coming up Colin Kaepernick against the Green Bay defense well and I think a couple of things Green Bay up front with their offensive line the big question is can they block the Smith Brothers Justin Smith and Alden Smith and they are very soft they got a rookie left ankle starting in in bakhtiari that will be a huge challenge and then of course defensively they could not stop Colin Kapernick last year with the zone replay and here's a peek at it last year I mean poorly poorly played and I talked to a Jayhawk a couple of months ago at a golf tournament he said we have at lank this offseason worked on stopping Colin Kaepernick in the zone read we are going to hit him as much as humanly possible in that football game it's going to be a great one Jim Harbaugh didn't like it on second attempt [Music] run to the two-minute mark another fresh set of downs for the Seahawks after a 14 yard run Lynch carried 16 times UNIFEM but just 40 yards 43 yards so far in the game two minutes to go can the Seahawks hang on and Caroline and they lead by five after this you'll see that 49er Packer game we're talking about after the game the Pepsi game rates show with Kurt Terry Howard Jimmy and Michael live from New York with all the highlights that you're ready for the second half of the doubleheader as the Seahawks with Carolina having no timeouts have this game in control and frustrating for Cam Newton the Carolina defense which dug in at a low-scoring game but couldn't keep Russell Wilson out of the end zone you talk about weathering the storm they weathered the heat to the East Coast travel they early kickoff and Ron Rivera knows another one got away in terms of the close game seven of their nine losses last year under a touchdown I'd say I can't say enough though about Russell Wilson and his ability as we've been talking about weathering the storm he was just getting blasted throughout this game with the pass rush Carolina was keeping him in the pocket 11 of 15 in the first half for a buck 22 second half 14 18 198 yard and some people said will the Seahawks overlook Carolina because they have the big showdown with their NFC West rivals the 49ers on Sunday night when they're home and that didn't happen if that Russell will sit his first career game in the NFL over 300 yards he also has gets credit for his fifth regular season comeback and then this is a guy who only the beginning his second year and he had to come back in the playoffs against the Redskins it's him really let his team back against Atlanta and the other playoff game had the defense done its job they would have been in the championship game Seahawks come East and rally in the fourth quarter for a 12-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers today's broadcast a mic marks production directed by Scott Capps we want to wish Get Well to Michael Frank our director recovering back home our survival our associate director Brian Peterman
